Art & Nature
November 27th to December 1st, 2026
Winter is approaching softly.
The days shorten, thoughts scatter, inspiration slips quietly under layers of sweaters and everyday obligations.
What if you offered yourself — at last — a moment apart, a true pause to come back to yourself?
At Terra Quinta, in the heart of untouched nature, we invite you to a creative and regenerative retreat where art, silence, walking and beauty become your companions on the path back to your imagination.
For four days, you will be welcomed into a place designed for slowness and creation: light-filled workshops, gardens humming with tranquillity, spaces made for meditation, drawing, painting, and molding clay with your hands.
Everything is here for you to breathe, explore, dare — and rediscover what your creativity has been waiting to express.
This retreat is for you if…
– You feel your creativity is dormant and only needs a gentle breath to awaken.
– You dream of a moment to yourself, far from the noise, in a place where nature speaks softly.
– You want to learn or reconnect with the joy of shaping clay, painting, drawing, creating freely without pressure or judgment.
– You want to offer your mind a spacious, luminous place to recharge your ideas.
– You need a safe, inspiring, tender pause to slow down, feel, and listen.
– You love meaningful encounters, sensitive workshops, and the sincere energy of inspired artists.
If you recognize yourself… then welcome. Terra Quinta is waiting for you.

A gift to yourself — A breath for the soul
This retreat is more than a stay: it is a rediscovered breath,
a space that opens the eyes, the hands, and the heart —
a rendezvous with the part of yourself you may have set aside without meaning to.
You will leave lighter, more grounded, perhaps with clay or paint still on your fingertips, and above all…
with a heart that feels just a little bigger.

Macha & Thibault are the soul-keepers of Terra Quinta.
Since their student years at Penninghen, the renowned art and graphic design school in Paris where they met, they have never stopped creating — always together.
Their life is an open studio: they sculpt, paint, draw, craft, plant, shape, cook, transform…
This is how they slowly built, stone by stone, colour by colour, the vibrant sanctuary that Terra Quinta has become.
Every corner carries their touch:
a sculpture watching over the garden, a warm ceramic straight from the kiln, a freshly painted wall telling a new story, the scent of dried herbs dancing through the kitchen.
Nothing is accidental — everything is considered to nourish beauty, imagination, and peace.
They are discreet but passionate hosts, one hand in the earth, the other holding a paintbrush, their minds always half in a dream.
Their greatest joy is watching guests slow down, breathe, and dare to create — sometimes for the first time in years.
For this retreat, they have crafted a program that reflects their universe: joyful, sensitive, generous. A retreat of laughter, hands in the clay, colour palettes opening like promises, silent walks where ideas finally return.
They can’t wait to welcome you, guide you, and share their enduring passion for gesture, matter, beauty, and creative freedom.
