Sometimes, whe life is shifting, what we need most is space to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with ourselves.

This retreat is a gentle place to land – without pressure, without expectations, simply to rest, feel, and find your way forward, at your own rhythm.

Set in a peaceful 17th century farmhouse in the Loire Valley, surrounded by nature and quiet, you will find a space that invites you to soften, pause, and just be.

The atmosphere is simple, warm, and grounding – more like a home than a retreat center – where you can feel safe to be yourself, without needing to perform or become anything.

Each day offers optional moments of connection and exploration: gentle movement, meditation, intuitive practices, plant-based practices (including a plant bath), and free-flow experiences like ecstatic dance.

The retreat is gently inspired by thee five elements : air, water, fire, ether, and earth – as subtle guides, offering their natural qualities to guide your process.

There is no fixed path to follow. You are free to join what calls you, or simply rest, walk, journal, or spend time in silence. This retreat is not abourt transformation through intensity, but allowing things to unfold naturally, in their own time.

With small groups (maximum 5 people), there is space for quiet, depth, and real presence – both with ourself and others, as you wish. This retreat is especially supportive if you are in a moment of transition, feeling sensitive, overwhelmed, or simply called to reconnect with yourself in a soft, natural way.
