One aspect of La Dolce Vita which is eagerly anticipated by attendees are the days filled with creativity! Carolyn envisions a retreat where women of all skill levels enjoy flexing their creative muscles while learning, or improving, their working knowledge in a variety of different creative fields.

You don’t have to be a expert, dabbler, or even have ever tried a specific type of art to participate in the workshops. Part of the joy of La Dolce Vita is exploring creativity in a variety of mediums. While some of our attendees have included passionate creatives who own their own companies, studios, restaurants and culinary businesses, we have also welcomed many whose last art project was in elementary school!

From tablescapes and culinary creativity, to arts and crafts, La Dolce Vita meets you where you are and encourages you to enjoy exercising the creative part of your brain.

May 17-24, 2024 Retreat workshops:

At this retreat our featured guest will be Danielle Kartes, who will be sharing her passion for living creatively with retreat guests. In addition, there will be a hands on creative workshop with Carolyn’s dear friend, and sixth generation Florentine artist, Maria Giannini whose workshop is always a favorite of retreat guests!

Retreat attendees may be asked to bring a basic set of supplies for the workshops (ie, scissors, glue stick). They will be emailed the supply list, should there be one, shortly before the retreat.
