I attended the Fleuropean Artist's retreat in Sept 2025 and it was everything I hoped for & more!
I was searching for a workshop where I could grow my creative style, learn new design techniques & gain clarity on next steps in my floral journey. The retreat gave me all of that & beyond.

Emily was a wonderful host, kind & always make sure we had everything we needed. Her garden was beautiful & overflowing with flowers, vines, greens.. everything that inspired our designs.

I also connected with the most amazing & fun flower loving people in the group! So grateful !
I left feeling refreshed, inspired & truly grateful!

I have been looking forward to joining one of Fleuropean’s retreats ever since I started my business. Not only was Emily a designer I drew inspiration from. The retreats just called to me. A week wandering beautiful grounds, meeting new amazing souls, frolicking through forests and fields and most importantly- the freedom to design without any limitations or rules sounded like heaven. So this past summer, I pulled the trigger and it was worth every penny.
Emily was warm and inviting as well as extremely accommodating. She took time with us both professionally and personally while still giving us space to create and connect.
I will say that we got very lucky with our group and are so honored to have met each and every person.
Cannot wait to go back to this dreamy place again in the spring sometime!

If you’re considering a retreat with Emily, don’t hesitate to do it.

From the chateau, to the gardens, to the experience of meeting a diverse group people in all stages of life (all who love flowers!), the Artist’s Retreat was transformative.

I’m already planning on coming back while still riding the high that comes from a truly positive and enriching experience.

Truly the most magical experience and like stepping into a fairytale. I did the Harmonie retreat with my mom and we will never stop talking/thinking about our time together. We met so many incredible women, designed arrangements, enjoyed the beautiful property, and Emily is honestly one of the kindest humans we’ve met. Her passion and spirit shined through everything we did! Her team is incredible and all of them are what made this experience even more special! If you are thinking about booking Flueropean, you should 100% do it!

Loved my experience with Fleuropean. I joined the Fleurescence expeirence in April 2025. It was a dream come true, being in the amazing castle, surrounded by flowers and most importantly being hosted by Emily and having the opportunity to learn from her. The team was amazing, the food, the accommodations and all the photography was amazing (only small feedback on my side is that would have loved to have more photos of my work and me working on my work).
I hope to go back again in the future.

Attending The Artist’s Retreat was truly one of the most inspiring and restorative experiences of my career. From the moment I arrived, I felt completely transported — not just by the stunning, thoughtfully curated surroundings, but by the warm and welcoming energy that flowed through every moment of the retreat.

Everything was beautifully intentional: from the locally sourced meals to the lush floral materials we worked with, to the gentle rhythm of the days that allowed space for both creativity and deep rest. The flower sessions were pure magic — expertly guided, yet leaving so much room for personal expression and exploration. This experience made me fall in love with flowers all over again. I left every workshop feeling grounded, reconnected to my artistry, and more in tune with nature.

What made it even more special was the sense of community. The small group dynamic fostered real connection — we laughed, shared, created, and truly supported one another. It felt like being part of something bigger than myself, a gentle return to what matters most.

And at the heart of it all was Emily. Not often do people surpass your expectations, but Emily did just that. She is the most welcoming, caring, and wonderful soul — someone who creates space for everyone to feel seen, nurtured, and inspired. Her deep love for nature and artistry is infectious, and her ability to hold space with such grace made this experience feel nothing short of magical.

This wasn’t just a retreat; it was a deep, creative exhale, a rekindling of artistic joy, and a reminder of the beauty in simplicity. I came home changed — full of ideas, gratitude, a fresh perspective, and a promise of time to reconnect with my purpose.

If you're an artist (in any form) craving beauty, connection, and meaningful inspiration, The Artist’s Retreat is everything your soul needs.

The warmest thanks to Emily for creating this slice of paradise. I hope to be back again in the future!

My week at Emily's enchanting flower garden, Fleuropean, felt like living in a dream. Nestled in a serene, picturesque castle surrounded by breathtaking landscapes, each morning began with the magic of discovering flowers kissed by morning dew. I spent entire days immersed in the garden's seasonal blooms, studying their natural beauty and translating that inspiration into floral designs in the studio.

What made this experience truly special was sharing these creative moments with fellow flower enthusiasts from around the world. We photographed our creations together, celebrating each other's artistic vision. Evenings were filled with candlelit dinners, wine, and heartfelt conversations with kindred spirits who share the same passion for floriculture.

Emily's infectious laughter and unwavering encouragement gave me the confidence to express myself as the best florist I could be. Her warmth and support created an atmosphere where creativity flourished naturally. Through her guidance, I've gained not only invaluable skills but also lifelong friendships with talented florists from diverse backgrounds.

This retreat is perfect for anyone who loves flowers, seeks healing in nature, needs to disconnect from life's pressures to find inner peace, or is looking for a fresh start in their floral journey. I deeply regret postponing this opportunity multiple times due to scheduling conflicts – it was worth every moment of anticipation.

I'm already planning my return to witness how different seasons transform the garden and to discover what new floral inspirations await. Don't miss the hidden treasures in the forest – the wild strawberries and lily of the valley feel like discovering secret gems in nature's treasure hunt.
Fleuropean isn't just a workshop; it's a transformative experience that reconnects you with the pure joy of floral artistry while nurturing your soul in the most beautiful natural setting imaginable.

Highly recommend to every flower lover and creative soul.

I had an incredible week with Emily and a fantastic group of people. It truly felt like a luxurious escape. Emily's supportive and open energy was infectious and made everyone feel comfortable. The itinerary was thoughtfully curated, offering a fantastic mix of enriching activities and valuable downtime – something I deeply appreciated. I left feeling truly spoiled in the best way possible.

Fleuropean's Artist Retreat was a true dream. Emily is an incredibly talented artist, floral designer, and teacher, with a vibrant, welcoming energy that is felt immediately. The retreat was a perfect mix of structured teaching, being out in the garden, playing with flowers, solo time, and group time. Everyone in our group was so energetic, talented, and sweet, we immediately got along and became fast friends. The chateau is such a dream, every nook is naturally beautiful and inspiring, I wish I could live there... or at least stay for awhile (: I 100% recommend this experience and I will definitely be back. I learned so much about floral design, that translates into other creative endeavors. Thank you Emily for such a beautiful, enlivening experience <3

If I could, I would review my experience as 100 stars + more! Emily is a wonderful teacher and within the week I could see a difference in my designs after watching her instruction and listening to her feedback. It was such a treat to be able to create arrangements that I could stylistically experiment with. And the best part is, you can create anything your heart desires!

The Artist Retreat is everything I was looking - the perfect balance of instruction and demonstration and free time for exploration. I am so grateful I was able to attend for a second time, and I plan to attend more Artist Retreats in the future!

Thank you again, Emily, for your kind heart and artistry! xo

Emily was the perfect host for our flowering journey. Her easy going, graceful way of creating and guiding made for an absolutely wonderful experience. The lessons I took home with me, they go far beyond floral design. The creativity I witnessed with my new flower friends was icing on the cake!
Thank you Emily!!
I will be back 🌸🙏🏽

This September was my third time at Fleuropean Artists' Retreat. As always, Emily created the most welcoming and warm atmosphere in the chateau and her studio. the garden was full of gorgeous flowers and Emily'd encouragement and help resulted in many interesting experiments and beautiful works. I always feel very inspired and fulfilled after her retreats and would highly recommend any creative soul to attend Fleuropean workshops at least once. I will surely be back! Thank you, Emily, for this oasis of floral happiness <3

Emily's workshops are a haven for all floral artists, established and aspiring alike. If you ever have an dream to attend one, or even an inkling urge to go, GO.

I have had the absolute joy of attending both her first one many years ago when I was a baby florist — an experience that launched me into lifetime friendships and gave me a dreamy and supportive foundational experience that empowered my confidence as I launched my business —AND attending another workshop recently that was the perfect retreat and refresh for my creative practice now as an established floral artist and educator myself.

I felt like I went to flower heaven returning to Emily's abundant flower gardens, romantic chateau, and breezy and welcoming style of instruction and freedom to explore and create. I cannot recommend her experiences highly enough, plus you get the joy of her friendship and laughter, and friendships with the fellow floral artists she gathers together, which are gifts of a lifetime.

I am recently back from the August Artist's Retreat. Until now, I've been in the testing mode of a few available and reputable Europe-based floral workshops. But I feel that after having experienced Emily's, I am completely sold.

I've learned about the importance of the environment. And the beautiful Belgian country side with a chateau for an accommodation and farm-fresh cheese and fruits is everything you can dream of. Your floral work is instantly charged with a new romantic energy that you didn't know you had. Well at least for me, it did.

The treasured bonus was the community of people I met. As a Korean florist based in the Netherlands, I was deeply appreciative of meeting U.S. based Taiwanese and Chinese florists, as well as those in different parts of Asia. They really shared so much of their business experience and brainstormed with me how I might accelerate growth. I've even extended the experience by meeting up with a few of them in the Netherlands. I really cherish this connection.

And there is Emily, of course. I still don't know how she does it. The execution is so perfect in a seemingly effortless way. She shares her artistry without imposing a direction. It's the right balance of complete freedom within a looselly defined but well respected harmony. I felt a strong sense of bond with Emily and the whole experience by the time of departure.

It's an experience that will stay with me in a distinctly positive way for a very long time.

I attended the late May Artist retreat 2024. The Chateau and gardens were everything advertised, pure magic! Emily was a fantastic host. She is so kind and gracious sharing her special space and gardens with so many. The property and overall experience was amazing.
Sleeping accommodations are clean comfortable and simple. If traveling from a far be sure to bring things like shampoo and your perfered bathroom items. Emily provided lunch food everyday and that was an amazing treat! The fridge was stocked and there was plenty of items to munch on.
I am saving for my next trip and plan on attending again as soon as I am able. Defiantly recommend if you need to recharge your creative battery, pause, breath, and just be for a short time.
Thank you Emily for providing a space for creatives to be..

I was at at Fleuuropean's Florescence Workshop 2024 few weeks ago, and I have been sharing this experience with everyone I know. The few days in this magical chateau and Emily's garden was something that I needed for my creativity. It was such a lovely experience to be surrounded by so much creative freedom, and inspiration, and seeing all the small details that Emily put into the program made all the difference. The memories of flower workshops, foraging in the wild, to delicious romantic dinners will be kept warmly in my heart.

I attended Florescence 2024 and could not recommend going to this magical place enough. Emily is the most kind host and has the best team. I have looked forward to attending one of her workshops for years and the reality of being there was far sweeter than I could have ever imagined. The chateau, grounds and gardens were breathtaking. The joy of hand picking your blooms to design with was an experience I will cherish forever. Emily’s instruction and demos were presented with passion, joy, and effortlessness. Watching her process was a treat! The workshop alone could not have been better, but the community these workshops form make the trip even more worth it. Thank you thank you thank you Emily! Hoping to be back soon
