Art Retreats
Dive into the Italian way of life during this one-of-a-kind art retreat!
During this six night, seven day adventure, you’ll experience the magic of the charming, medieval village of Lubriano, a town of 800 people & dating back to the 12th century. Immerse yourself in the beauty of art. From daily art lessons in our beautiful monastery garden, to immersing yourself in the rhythm of village life, to a chance to explore Florence, and more, this is truly an adventure of a lifetime. As your host and teacher Monica says, “These trips are a telescope and a microscope at the same time.”
