Experience a spring communion immersed in the heart of the forest, at the heart of what is essential.

Move, unleash your creativity, breathe, touch beauty, share sweet moments of life in a setting of nature and light.

I am happy to offer you once again a retreat in this magnificent place, for a long weekend.

A time long enough to disconnect and reconnect, yet short enough to organize and stay in touch with your reality.

In this retreat, our life together will be punctuated by movement practices, connection and creativity workshops, times for exploration and discussion, and healthy meals.

The luxury of a simple life.

Program

Opening and closing circles
Meditation, breathing, and guided movement practices in the morning and evening
Experiences of communion with the living through the senses and creativity, writing, and expression
Inspiration from various ancestral or contemporary philosophical or scientific movements on the living (Yoga, Ayurveda, Tantra, Buddhism, Maya, Taoism, neuroscience, etc.)
Walks in the great outdoors

Nights in the arms of the trees in a treehouse
Gentle movement or body awareness practices in the evening
Exchanges and discussions around the art of a simple, gentle, joyful, vibrant, and serene life
Healthy and convivial meals

Creativity, connection

Workshops will be offered to deploy creativity. If it can arise by itself, certain provisions can stimulate it. We will take care to sharpen our senses to let ourselves be touched by beauty, create, improvise, free ourselves. All opportunities will be good to take to express it whether it is to set a beautiful table, to describe one's impressions, to move, to change one's habits, to listen or to observe.

Connection workshops will be punctuated during the weekend in order to facilitate and accelerate the links between you, with the unique environment of this retreat, and within you. We will experience connection with depth and lightness to feel and recognize what drives us intimately. Here too, all opportunities will be right to seize to live these moments, during meals, practices, by connecting to oneself, by opening space to the other, or by contemplating nature.

Do you have something in particular you would like to share? We can schedule a dedicated time to integrate in advance.

Practices

Through practices inspired by several disciplines, explore yoga (hatha, vinyasa, yin), meditation (zen, mindfulness, vipassana), guided and free movement (dance, embodiment), massage (thai, chi nei tsang), and breathing (pranayama).

Practices offered and designed to be accessible to all, where you are given the responsibility to respect your physical and mental integrity.

Freedom through autonomy, where effort should not be synonymous with pain or performance, where exploration is carried out with joyful curiosity, where mixed feelings are observed and navigated with compassion and gentleness.

Freedom through a given framework to move alone, in pairs, or in a group. I will offer adjustments as needed and desired. Here, we explore our current limits and capacities to go further or further than the assumed range of possibilities.

Practice outdoors if the weather permits or in the beautiful dedicated room with panoramic view.

Food

If the body, heart and mind are also nourished differently, it is undeniable that diet has a major impact on our physical, psychological and emotional functioning.

Healthy, seasonal food from sustainable agriculture will be offered to you. We promote short supply chains with ecological concerns and the promotion of local production.

Respectful nutritional principles are applied, the result of ongoing research on the subject, to respect the body and simply meet its needs.

All special diets are welcome.

Place of life

Testimonials from previous retreats

"Retreat in an idyllic location, very well organized, accompanied by a superb cook, with varied practices as well as other activities that allow you to connect with yourself while disconnecting! Agathe knew how to listen and be attentive to the whole group and managed to create a real space of trust and kindness during these 3 days. Thank you for everything, it was a suspended moment, rich in emotions that I will recommend to other people without hesitation!"

Alexane

"Agathe's soul and uniqueness transported and guided us during this retreat with lightness, madness, gentleness and kindness."

Navy

"A moment out of time. Thank you Agathe: for your gentleness, for these yoga practices that push us to go further, for the exchanges, the reconnection with oneself, the massage, the good meals, the laughter... and all that in an incredible setting. I am completely recharged."

Helen

"A unique and exciting retreat in an extraordinary place: thank you Agathe for this physical and mental reset, we feel brand new and re-energized!"

Mathilde

Agathe is the perfect yoga teacher! She has a soft and soothing voice. Her advice is always timely and beneficial. With Agathe, we progress without realizing it."

Anastasia

"A short weekend retreat that allowed me to escape from my daily life and that I experienced as a bubble of oxygen rich in beautiful encounters in an unusual place, quality organic food, sharing workshops like games that awakened the child in me and above all yoga practices mixing several facets of yogic philosophy (movements, stretching, meditation, singing, etc.). Thank you again for everything!"

Blandine

A DREAM! A first retreat that I will remember all my life!! A real moment for oneself in a bubble of gentleness and kindness, and this feeling remains with us for a long time. Agathe coordinated with a master's hand so that the magic happened in this magnificent house nestled in the Drôme Provençale. The yoga practices were very balanced in rhythm and intensity, and I really liked the workshops that made us feel a lot of emotions. A group of girls at the top, laughter and tears, without judgment, a real happiness! The plant-based food was really tasty and exquisite, an excellent surprise, me who was afraid of being hungry... Really great.

Jennifer

"A weekend where we take our time. Time to be in tune with ourselves and others. A space for dialogue that Agathe was able to create. Everyone was able to share a piece of themselves and make the group vibrate with their gaze and their creativity, their expression. Between kindness and openness of heart. It was a great opportunity to take a step back and it is also a meeting space from which we emerge both refreshed and enriched. 🙏🏻"
