Meet your Host
Hi, I’m Raina Stinson. I’m a professional photographer with over 30 years of experience, and I’m also a trained mindfulness and meditation teacher. Since moving to Provence eight years ago, I’ve been curating boutique travel experiences that blend creativity, wellness, and the timeless charm of this magical region of France.
A Boutique Retreat in the Heart of Provence
My retreats are small and intimate—never more than five guests—, so you get a truly personalized, insider’s experience. We stay at my private villa in the countryside, where you can immerse yourself in the Provençal lifestyle—morning light on lavender fields, quiet village streets, and hidden corners that most tourists never see.
Creativity, Mindfulness & Slow Travel
This is a creative retreat where photography is a central focus, alongside other inspiring creative projects. No prior photography or artistic experience is required—just curiosity, openness, and a love for discovery.
Mindfulness and meditation are gently woven throughout our days, inviting you to slow down, breathe deeply, and experience Provence with fresh eyes, calm presence, and renewed inspiration.
A Journey That’s Truly Your Own
We explore the Luberon Valley and Les Alpilles at a relaxed pace. And each day offers space for discovery and personal expression.
You may engage through photography, journaling, sketching, or quiet presence.
The experience encourages connection—to yourself, the landscape, and the moment.
You leave feeling inspired, grounded, and deeply connected to Provence.
