Jeanne Oliver is coming to Lisbon – Sintra with a three days + a whole morning workshop called TATTERED + TORN. Let me tell you how I met Jeanne. I took a class with the amazing Kate Thompson who indicated to me afterwards Jeanne Oliver site and courses. The first video where Jeanne tells us that creativity matters, that we are enough had a deep impact on me. I realized that it was ok to create and that I was not being selfish when I took so much pleasure in my studio.I took all the incredible online courses with Jeanne and never had I imagined that Jeanne would come to my hometown Lisbon to teach. Marina and I feel very blessed to welcome Jeanne and her husband Kelly.
Our inner child will be excited to attend a tile ceramic workshop in Fundação Espirito Santo ending our day in a traditional fado restaurant that was once a chapel, where you heart will melt with the beauty of these songs. Our goal is for you to experience the best of Lisbon-Sintra to bring home your very personal and unique journal made with Jeanne and to nourish your body soul and mind.
This is Your retreat where you will have time both for yourself and to gather, connect, share laugh with other creatives souls. You Deserve The Best!
Welcome to my hometown!
