San Miguel de Allende, Mexico

September 15 - 21, 2024 for 7 days, 6 nights • Rates starting at $3,750 •


I can barely contain my excitement that we’re adding San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, to the 2024 retreat line up.

I’ve been hearing how wonderful this charming town is and I figured now is the time to go and experience it with you.

Steeped in history and charm, San Miguel de Allende is a 500-year-old jewel where cobblestone streets and colorful buildings transport visitors to a bygone era. This haven of culture boasts a thriving arts scene and a delightfully temperate climate. Despite its rich history, San Miguel de Allende offers a welcoming atmosphere and a relaxed, luxurious vibe. It's no surprise Travel+Leisure readers crowned it the best city in Central and South America, and third best in the world.

We have spots for 14 lucky artists and they’re bound to fill up quickly. If you’ve thought about going on a retreat and haven’t, this is the one to attend!

Check your calendars and get your passports ready - this is going to be extraordinary! Not only will we spend our days painting and making fantastic art, but we’ll meet local artisans, explore all that this city has to offer and eat our way through town.

If you’ve never been and have wanted to go, NOW IS YOUR CHANCE!

Read through the below and if you have any questions, email Jen sooner rather than later.

    WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

    PLAY • EXPLORE • EXPERIMENT


    Unravel tips and tricks during this intensive five day workshop. Hone your critical eye, unlock hidden potential, and watch your art burst with captivating harmony. We’ll study composition, color, value and most importantly, letting go of shoulds.

    Say goodbye to "rules" and hello to "wow"! Discover the beauty of letting go in this exploration of creative flow.

    Not only will we have 5 full days of hands instruction but we will explore art galleries, visit other artisans and eat our way through the charming town of San Miguel.

    I will be available to you throughout the whole workshop to provide insight, feedback and support you during our time together. There will also be plenty of time to explore this charming town to shop and poke around.

    WHO SHOULD ATTEND

    YOU SHOULD JOIN ME


    All experience levels are welcome, and you don’t need to be in the Art with Adele Academy.

    If you’re open-minded and want an escape where you can spend some time being creative in a magical place, then this is for you.

    We all know it's important to take time for ourselves and a workshop like this is a great place to do that. Give yourself the gift of time and creativity, because no one else will.

    Some participants attend by themselves (however, it’d be fun to bring a friend) but rest assured you will leave with a new community of friends from all over.
