Welcome to the Mas Pinet, your artist retreat in the South of France! Come stay in a Mongolian yurt or a tipi, and expand your creativity and spirit in one of our CREO Institute creativity workshops. Experience walking on a high wire, or just rest, take in the beauty and peace of the French countryside, meditate under a night sky full of stars, and meet new friends. The Mas Pinet is located near Alčs, Avignon, and Nīmes in the beautiful Languedoc-Roussillon region of France. Hosted by Karine Mauffrey and Jade Kindar-Martin, former Cirque du Soleil performers.
During our summer creativity workshops in Europe, you will be immersed in a variety of intense, interactive experiences that will challenge you to explore and define your personal and creative goals as well as to develop a deeper awareness of your creative potential, challenges, and strengths.
The workshops provide tools, techniques, and strategies that you will be able to apply throughout your personal and professional lives to continuously foster your own creative spirit and work and to make a positive impact in your own life and on the lives of others.
The cost of tuition is $1,250 per workshop and does not include accommodations or airfare and other travel expenses.
