There is simply no substitute for spending real time alongside other creatives!
Interacting with others can generate ideas and inspiration, and having a quiet, beautiful place to retreat to intensifies the full exploration of these sources of creativity.
Here at Les Soeurs Anglaises we have been offering very special events for 15 years because we truly believe that being part of a dynamic group, in a safe, supportive and comfortable environment, informs and challenges creativity.
just One good reason why “real life” activities are simply the best!
