A Retreat for the Heart and Soul
PROVENCE-ALPES-COTE-D'AZURE, GRASSE REGION, FRANCE
7 DAY WELLNESS RETREAT
SEPT 7-14 2025
This retreat is a soft landing - a space to breathe, reconnect, and remember what truly matters.
Held in a lovingly restored 17th-century farmhouse nestled in the hills of Provence, this is a week designed for deep exhale. For soulful connection. For barefoot mornings, nourishing food, quiet laughter, and sacred rest.
This retreat is a gentle invitation to arrive just as you are-and let the beauty of the land, the rhythm of our days, and the simplicity of presence do the rest.
The Sanctuary
Our farmhouse is woven with charm-stone walls, wooden beams, lush gardens, and views that stretch beyond time.
Five private bedrooms provide sanctuary for each guest. Some offer ensuite or shared bathrooms, all offer stillness and soul.
This sacred space holds the warmth of Provence’s sun-drenched hills and the scent of the earth after rain.
We will gather here for meals, movement, stories, and silences.
Your Room
Each guest has their own bedroom-a quiet place to reflect, journal, or nap as needed.
Rooms vary slightly in size and bathroom access, but all are soulful and beautifully appointed.
You’ll sleep deeply here.
The Food
When Ash cooks, it’s not just about food. It’s about feeding people in a way that feels like home.
Prepared by Chef Ash – our gifted retreat chef – each meal is created with care, presence, and intuition. He understands that what we eat shapes how we feel, and brings that quiet knowing into every dish he prepares.
His food is seasonal, grounding, and full of heart – drawn from local markets, inspired by the mood of the day, and served with a side of gentle humour and warmth.
Meals are shared long-table style, where conversation flows easily, and even the silences feel full. Over the course of the week, something shifts – not just in the body, but in the way people soften, open, and feel more at home in themselves. It's nourishment on every level.
Trained in French cuisine and deeply attuned to the tone of the group, he offers meals that are grounding, nourishing, and full of heart.
If you're thinking provincial market-foraged ingredients, long-table dinners, and a cooking experience filled with flavour, laughter, and soul – you're there.
Our Days Together
Each day flows gently-guided by rhythm, not a rigid schedule. Mornings may begin with breathwork or mindful movement. Afternoons invite nature walks, creative exploration, or time alone. Evenings bring us together around the table or firelight.
I’ll be holding space and guiding you through practices to reconnect with your own inner knowing-tapping into the language of the body, the power of presence, and the quiet clarity that often gets lost in everyday life.
We’ll move through gentle embodiment, emotional processing, and reflective integration-tailored to the group’s energy and needs as they unfold.
This retreat is a space to:
-
Reconnect with your body, your breath, your truth
-
Be held in an intimate, heart-led group
-
Unravel what no longer serves and make space for what does
-
Find renewal through stillness, simplicity, and connection
Cobblestones and Coastlines
We’ll meander through hidden laneways, sunlit plazas, and coastal paths – visiting places like Villefranche, Èze, Antibes, and Gourdon. Each place offers its own rhythm, its own palette of colour, scent, and sound.
You might find yourself sipping coffee from a chipped cup at a tiny café the locals adore, or chatting with an artisan whose family has worked with their hands for generations.
You could stumble across linen on the line, fresh baguettes stacked at the boulangerie, or an old man playing pétanque in the square, or a spontaneous pause to take in a view too beautiful to rush.
We move slowly, like locals. It’s less about what you see, more about what you feel – the pace, the textures, the way a place gets under your skin.
Provence, felt....
The Heart Behind It
This retreat was never just an idea – it came through gently, piece by piece, like something remembered. It’s guided by intuition, shaped by experience, and held with heart.
I first visited this farmhouse with participants from our last retreat, and it’s hard to put into words how special it felt.
There’s something about the way the light moves, the quiet of the garden, the warmth of the stone – restored with care, yet still full of soul. It truly is a sanctuary.

An Australian Retreat is Gently Unfolding
A spring retreat is taking shape for November 2025 – nestled in the Victorian bush as the earth begins to bloom. While details unfold, my heart is presently devoted to Provence – and if that’s where something in you leans, I’d love to welcome you.
If something stirs as you read this – a curiosity, a quiet yes – trust that.
These retreats shift something beneath the surface. They stay with you in ways that are hard to name, but easy to feel.
If you’re ready to pause, reconnect, and come home to what matters – I’d love to hear from you.
[Contact me here] to express your interest or secure your place. Spaces are limited and held with care.
Why I Do This
These retreats don’t come from strategy or planning. They come as a quiet pull – a frequency I feel before it has words.
I meet them where they are. I listen. And I respond.
Not to lead, but to serve. To hold a space for others to come home to themselves, in places where the land itself speaks.
If that same frequency is whispering to you – you’ll know.
I’ll be here when you’re ready.
