Creative retraites in the German Eifel with Machershaus

MACHERSHAUS

Machershaus organizes creative retreats for creative development. To slow down, learn new things and lose yourself in the moment. Together with inspiring artists you retreat for three days in an old country house in the German Eifel. A quiet place in the middle of nature. Where time stands still and a few days seem to last forever…

It's you-time

Take three days for yourself. Relax, think of nothing and focus only on the workshops, creativity and the company of kindred people.

DEVELOPMENT

At Machershaus we love creative crafts. Developing skills by doing what you love. Reducing stress by taking time .

ALL INCLUSIVE

The retreats include dinner, lunch, breakfast, hot tub, sauna, covered bed. You can do what you like best, we take care of the rest.

FAR AWAY, BUT CLOSE

The Eifel in Germany is a quit and beautiful area in the south-west of Germany.

Art retreat WITH Marloes de vries

It is so easy to lose your creative self: social media, expectations of others (and your own), what you think you should do… During this 3-day retreat you will explore with Marloes De Vries, while walking, writing and drawing, what makes you happy creatively.

DRAWING IN THE wild WITH KOOSJE KOENE

Join Koosje Koene for a 3-day drawing retreat, exploring the German Eifel with a sketchbook in hand.” If you like walking in nature and drawing, this is the weekend for you.

What a wonderful place to be! I already miss the garden with the beautiful view and the cozy fire pit. And the (vegetarian) cooking skills of host Robin are to die for: everything was so well taken care of:) Thank you for a wonderful retreat!

"We had wonderful days. Great drawing workshop, delicious food and in the evening we enjoyed the hot tub and sauna, combined with the beautiful nature... it couldn't be better!"

"Enjoyed this super nice place in a fantastic environment during the midweek 'Drawing in the Wild' with Koosje Koene. If you still have doubts: Robin is also a very nice host who puts great food on the table."

"The inspiring workshops, the fireplace, the hot tub, the hospitality and the delicious dishes. Everything was created with care and passion and that was noticeable. Highly recommended!"
