August 15-22, 2026 | Sainte-Croix, FranceART · SPACE · HOUSE (ASH) FRANCE
A week-long, international gathering for mid-career artists and cultural workers seeking rest, rejuvenation, community, and inspiration. A group of six like-minded artists will convene with no set expectations or requirements.
ASH is a test ground to nurture ourselves, each other, and our work, without any actionable metrics tied to the process. The process itself is life-affirming and nurturing. We practice what we wish to see in the world including; collaboration, connectivity, sustainability, healing, justice, joy, wholeness, and belonging.
Set at the exquisite Le Mas & Le Mazet, the week includes an entirely optional schedule of cultural outings, groups meals, and plenty of downtime beside the pool.
“ASH shifted my understanding of the vitality and nourishment that is possible while on retreat. Emily‘s thoughtful preparation and care for every detail—from travel to excursions to meals to the creature comforts that allow true restoration to happen— curated an experience that allowed clarity and creativity to reign. I am grateful for the lesson in how deeply transformative it is to make myself the priority. ASH gave me the space and time to complete the first draft of my debut book, Your Embodied Life: A Field Guide to Joy. I will carry the friendships, connections, and memories made that week with me forever!”
— Kelly King, Founder & CEO of The Movement Movement, Embodied Joy Strategist, Interdisciplinary Artist, Educator, and Author
