Yes, you read that correctly! I’m back with a new 2025 Crafty Chica Art Retreat – this time, we are going to southern France in a quiet village – Durfort. Think Belle in Beauty and the Beast…!

Even better, my daughter, Maya Murillo, will be there as my co-host.

How it came together: My dear friend Jennifer Cushman of SoulStirMagic.com runs these wild-popular art retreats in Durfort, France and invited me to join in to host my own event! This is a big departure from my other retreats and I feel that is the best reason to do it. I’ve spent the past few years traveling to Thailand, Spain, and Mexico, of course. I ‘m excited for a treat like this. 

Us crafty chicas are all about sharing our culture far and wide, right? I thought it would be a cool way to add to our passports and cross the ocean for the sake of art, culture, and epic French memories!

NOTE: This is an extreme step-away from our routines to see life from a different perspective. To me, that is truly living life to its fullest.

During our week together we’ll enjoy life in a mindful, artsy, and relaxing way, one that has been seeped into daily living for centuries in this ancient medieval artisan village.

If you made it this far – gracias! I know this is a big investment and my goal is for you to come home saying “worth every penny!”

Everything about this trip is special and unique. Unlike Paris (which is fabulous, I know!), Durfort is a cozy, comfy magic town teeming with community and spirit. There is a gorgeous water casade behind the property, and the street and actual house is has a very creative history. It was known for making copper pots back in the day.

I’m still refining the art classes, but they will involve a Frida-inspired piece related of her time in France, plus lettering, stamp carving, printmaking and more.
