A Fun Evening Out in Provence

A Fun Evening Out in Provence

Thursday seems to be the new Friday in Provence this September, and last night saw many Network Provence ladies off to Mollégès to the opening view of Ashley Tinker’s exhibition at la Bibliothèque de Molleges (https://opac-x-bibliothequemolleges.biblix.net/)

Ashley had an excellent turnout on the still sultry September evening and judging by the red dots, it was also a successful event. 

Ashley Tinker is an anglophone Canadian artist living and working in Provence for the last ten years. Well known for her photography and lifestyle blog @curiousprovence, the free time of the pandemic saw her begin to paint in earnest. You can learn more about her work and projects at https://curiousprovence.com 

Her paintings are multi-view; at a distance, they are close to photographic representations of the sublime light and terrains we have all come to Provence to adore. Stepping up to a closer look reveals details and textures that are incredibly satisfying and masterfully precise. It was a delight to see these paintings in person, and you can visit the exhibition until the 27th of September.

Of course, the company was also a delight as we mingled and story-swapped with like-minded but diverse Network Provence members and others from the many corners of our belle region. 

Network Provence is a great gateway to learn and share the area’s events, talents, and happenings. Get in touch to learn about the membership and access to this vibrant community of anglophone women of Provence.

Meet Marion Champin

Published on by Rebecca Ronane

My name is Marion. I am French, although a “world citizen” at heart! I launched my company — In Flight — in 2003. It specializes in Property Management for second homeowners in the Luberon and Alpilles region.

A strong taste for adventure and discovery has always been my motor! Choosing the “roads less travelled” has led me to live in various countries until 2000 (the U.K., Germany, the French Caribbean and the U.S.A.) — and even to travel transatlantic from France to the Caribbean — working on a large sailboat!

My cosmopolitan life, work experience and sensitivity have made me proficient in dealing with the challenges faced in multilingual and multicultural living.

After coming back to the “Provence of my teenage years”, I committed myself to assist the international community by helping them to manage their property in Provence and to develop their projects. My personal and professional background naturally guided me to help second-home owners lighten their daily life by managing their property, house staff, and administrative procedures and to participate in developing their projects in Provence. So I regrouped my expertise and skills into a service directed at the growing Anglo-American community in the Luberon and the Alpilles.

I have also had the opportunity to coordinate and organize private cultural events. These various experiences have contributed to building an eclectic and trusting network in the region, which I gladly rely on according to the missions assigned.

Developing In Flight has been a great experience and has allowed me to create constructive and rich connections between French culture and the international community since 2003.

 

Meet Mei Yee Lam

Published on by Rebecca Ronane

Hello, my name is Mei Yee Lam.  I am a clinical hypnotherapist. Conversational Hypnosis and NLP practitioner.This professional service is to empower people to overcome issues like Anxiety, Trauma, negative habits, and fears for personal development to their full potential.

You might have noticed the wear and tear of life take or even freezes you from progress or growth. You might have stress with what is to come or even take those trouble home with you.  Those troubles have reached your everyday mind many times, and you find yourself doing the thinking, thinking, and more thinking while your inner subconscious mind is just reacting and reacting more.

Does it reassure for you to know that the dark murky paths you have do not have to stay with you forever and that hypnotherapy helps you out of those spots to a much brighter space and quickly?

Well, I am here and ready for your personal development growth when you are.

Be this purely for your personal development growth or complementary aid for you.  You will find this is a gentle way to release those mental pressures that have been hidden or suppressed for so long.

The way I work is to ensure you get the result you want for you to continue with success in mind.

 As a facilitator not only I will help you to alleviate your personal distress and suffering, also take the place of positive change, so you will find yourself feeling lightness in your being and courage in your heart for your work, and the loved ones around you without long-drawn sessions.

Issues I specialize in:

Anxiety (this is a big list), including fears and phobia, confidence (self-doubt, self-sabotage issues).

Stress relief: on excess worry, perfectionism.

Negative repetitive habits/ addictions (Quit Smoking to Alcohol management).

Weight management (for those who want to lose excess weight and keep to it.)

Trauma (past or not so long ago).

I work as per result and will be with you and see you are on your path for the better.

 Zoom is utilized to draw any distances closer & in the comfort of your own home. And I’d be happy to discuss other options for sessions together.
