Experience the romance of a spring getaway in Drôme Provençale.
Deploy your creativity, touch beauty, share sweet moments of life in a dream setting.
I am happy to offer you again a retreat in this magnificent place, for a weekend.
A time long enough to disconnect and find yourself and short enough to organize yourself and stay in touch with reality.
In this retreat our life together will be punctuated by movement practices, connection and creativity workshops, times of exploration and discussion, healthy meals lovingly prepared by an on-site chef.
The luxury of a simple life.

circle and closing practice
An intense program where you always have the freedom to participate or not in the proposed activities. I wish to respect the need for sleep and rest, the need to isolate yourself or to be surrounded. I encourage you to listen to your needs at the time and try to make this listening accessible throughout the retreat. No judgment, no discrimination is made on the response to these needs, which concerns each person.
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.
Practical
Through practices inspired by several disciplines, explore yoga (hatha, vinyasa, yin), meditation, guided and free movement.
Practices proposed and designed to be accessible to all, where you are given the responsibility of respecting your physical and psychological integrity.
A freedom through autonomy where effort should not be synonymous with pain or performance, where exploration is done with joyful curiosity, where mixed feelings are observed and traversed with compassion and gentleness.
Freedom through a given framework to move alone, in pairs or in groups, I will offer adjustments if necessary and desired. Here, we explore our limits and our current capacities to go further or further than the supposed field 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.
When I say we, it is especially the chef Clotilde who will offer us a 100% vegetable cuisine and 100% made with love. Clotilde will be with us throughout the retreat, I am very happy to partner with her again for this retreat.
Respectful nutritional principles are applied, the result of continuous research on the subject to respect the body and simply meet its needs.
All special diets are welcome.
Place of life
In the middle of nature, the mountains above, the
Drôme down, we will stay in this old 18th century silkworm farm, completely renovated with noble materials and all modern comforts.
Accessible by train 15 minutes from Saillans or Valence station, 2 hours from Paris by TGV then 1 hour by taxi.
A place that lives up to its name, "a dream house", it is quite natural that I wanted to offer you again a weekend in this exceptional environment where we are immersed out of time, in the heart of nature, where the interior and exterior life invite contemplation, rejuvenation and wonder. Including different living spaces, lounges, terraces, it is a house of great comfort where energy circulates.
The rooms all have single beds and have their own en-suite or integrated bathroom. To occupy alone or to share between two people.

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!"

"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."

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. 🙏🏻"
