France 3 Night wellness Retreat

We are excited and honoured to be the very first to host a aerial yoga and wellness retreat in this one-of-a-kind location. Built in the 16th century and secluded in serene nature, this historical space offers a blank canvas for creativity and a unique opportunity to reframe the obsidian experience,Originally a hill-top farm, all the cottages have stunning views over rolling countryside.

Our Carpe diem programme harnesses the power of movement, mindfulness and creativity, Carpe diem is latin for "Seize the day" and this retreat is designed to do just that as well as enhancing our individual strength and personal growth. This new adventure has inspired us to create energising experiences: practices embrace both soft and strong elements, offering a multi-faceted blend of yoga, mindfulness, sculpt, mobility, and stretch for a functional yet holistic approach to movement and mind—the best of many worlds.

In addition to meditation and movement practices, you can look forward to a being in nature with Ash & Cara who will be guiding you through the beautiful valley of Gavaudun woodland, and the pretty village of St Avit and the stunning rock-hewn tower of Gavaudun.

When wrapping up the day, we will dine on the terrace for some serious relaxation, grab a glass of chilled rosé and listen to the ancient church bells peal across the valley and watch a spectacular sunset retreating afterwards to en-suite bedrooms or cosy corners. Come alone, come with a friend and embrace the joy of new meetings.

We promise a warm and welcoming atmosphere, in close harmony with nature, and a commitment to sustainability.

We want you to let go of expectations and to create a sense of ease and full trust in the process, we do not share our schedule until the evening before. Look forward to a balanced program with practices for both body and mind, crafted with the passion and expertise gained over 11 years of hosting workshops,events,classes and retreats.

We embrace an inclusive approach to movement and mindfulness, encouraging you to recognize that you are the expert of you, and there is no one-size-fits-all formula for well-being.

We create a warm space for our guests to (re)discover their intuitive way of being. With guidance and tools from our team, we will support you on your path to living with resilience, calmness, joy and excitement.

For both movement and mindfulness practices, we welcome beginners and experienced practitioners alike. All classes are optional, acknowledging that some bodies crave (and deserve) nothing but rest. Even with little or no engagement in the movement practices, you will still enjoy a complete retreat experience, as well-being extends beyond physical activity.

This retreat offers an opportunity to meet yourself with self-acceptance and open arms, receiving the full abundance of what this precious life ahead has to offer.
