INTRODUCTION

I truly couldn’t be more excited to announce this workshop in one of my favorite cities in the world! As a young woman, I had the joy to live in Paris long enough to call it my home. Since then I've had a deep-rooted love for the city and have visited it 3-4 times a year ever since. This is why I am beyond excited to announce, that I will be back in May 2023 to run not just one but two highly curated, creative 3-day Sisterhood workshops for chefs, food bloggers, published or aspiring cookbook authors, content creators, photographers, stylists, writers, entrepreneurs, small business owners, and communicators within the food-, lifestyle- and travel industry.

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT TO LEARN DURING THE WORKSHOP?

WHEN
May 26th-28th, 2023.
The workshop begins on the 26th at 10 AM and ends on the 28th at 5 PM. We begin each workshop day at 10 AM and will round up at around 9 PM on the first evening after having enjoyed a wonderful welcome dinner together at one of my favorite bistros. On the second and third day, we will round up at 5 PM.

WHAT
3 days of guided facilitation, hands-on training, and in-depth instructions on food styling, food- and lifestyle photography, and editing combined with photo walks and delicious meals in Paris.
 
WHO
People from all walks of life are welcome.
Space is limited to 8-10 attendees.

ACCOMMODATION
This workshop is without accommodation, since many participants wish to come either a few days before or stay a few days after the workshop, and like to stay at an Airbnb or a hotel, they've stayed at before. However, I would be more than happy to share the names of some of my own favorite hotels with you in Paris: Hôtel de L’Abbay, Hôtel de Beaumarchais, Hôtel de Seine, Hôtel Odeon Saint Germain, Hôtel des 2 Continents, Hôtel de L'Univers de Paris, Hôtel Odeon.

If you would like to have recommendations for less or more expensive hotels, just let me know, and I'll send you some.
