A therapist-led retreat to help you reconnect with yourself
What to Expect
A week-long therapeutic retreat by the beach off the coast of southwest France.
For women who have spent years being everything for everyone else and are ready to reconnect with themselves again.
Through therapy-led group sessions, creativity, movement, rest, nature and meaningful conversation, you'll create space to hear your own voice beneath the noise of modern life.
No pressure to achieve. No self-improvement checklist. No expectation to become someone new. Just an opportunity to return to you who you already are.
❋ Self-Understanding
Many of us move through life on autopilot, responding to expectations, responsibilities, and the demands of daily life without pausing to ask what we truly need.
Through guided therapeutic workshops, reflective exercises, and meaningful conversations, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the patterns, beliefs, and roles that have shaped your life.
By bringing awareness to what has been driving you, you'll begin to reconnect with what genuinely matters to you.
❋ Judgment-free Expression
Somewhere between careers, relationships, and responsibilities, many women lose touch with their sense of play. This retreat creates space to explore creativity without pressure, performance, or the need to be good at something. Through creative experiences, movement, curiosity, and moments of joy, you'll reconnect with parts of yourself that have been overshadowed by productivity and achievement.
Play isn't a luxury. It's a pathway back to aliveness.
❋ Rest & Reconnection
In a culture that rewards constant doing, choosing to slow down can feel unfamiliar.
Set against the backdrop of the Atlantic coast, this retreat offers opportunities to rest deeply, spend time in nature, nourish your body, and step away from the noise of everyday life.
Through mindfulness, meditation, and intentional moments of stillness, you'll create space to hear your own voice more clearly.
❋ Clarity & Direction
This retreat isn't about becoming someone new. It's about returning to yourself.
As the week unfolds, you'll begin to identify what feels aligned, meaningful, and authentic for the next chapter of your life.
Through therapeutic reflection and guided integration, you'll leave with greater self-trust, renewed clarity, and a stronger connection to the direction you want to move in—not because someone told you the answers, but because you've learned to listen to yourself again.
What's Included
Theme-based Group Sessions
Throughout the week, we'll explore topics such as self-worth, perfectionism, people-pleasing, boundaries, values and the patterns that may be keeping you stuck.
Drawing on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), these sessions are designed to help you gain insight into yourself, your life and invite self-compassion.
Your Own Individual Therapy Sessions
Each guest will receive a one-to-one therapy session before, during and after the retreat, creating space to explore what’s led you here in greater depth and receive individual support on your journey back to yourself.
Yoga, Meditation and Mindfulness
Gentle daily practices to help you slow down, reconnect with your body and create space away from the constant demands of everyday life.
Surfing & Dancing by the Sunset
A chance to step outside your comfort zone, connect with the ocean and experience the freedom that comes from being fully present in the moment. No experience required.
Creativity Without Performance
Through painting and creative exploration, you'll have the opportunity to reconnect with the playful, curious parts of yourself that can often get lost beneath the responsibilities of adulthood. The goal isn't to create a masterpiece. It's to remember what it feels like to create without judgement, expectations or the need to achieve, without taking yourself too seriously.
Nourishing Ayurvedic Meals
Fresh, seasonal meals with ingredients from the local French market prepared by an Ayurvedic chef throughout the week to support rest, nourishment and wellbeing.
Rest and reset
There will be plenty of unstructured time to walk along the beach, relax by the heated pool, read a book, receive a massage or simply enjoy having nowhere to be and no-one relying on you.
Human Connection
Expect meaningful conversations, shared meals, movie nights, laughter, dancing and the kind of connection that often feels difficult to find in everyday life.
Is This Retreat For You?
This retreat is designed for a small group of women who are expected to have it together on the outside but feel disconnected from themselves on the inside.
You might be successful (according to society’s definition of success) in your career, raising or thinking of starting a family, building a business, caring for others, or juggling all of the above. Life is full, and from the outside, it may even look exactly as you were told it should be.
But lately, you've found yourself wondering:
Who am I when I’m not fulfilling my role as friend, mum, daughter, sister, worker?
When did life start feeling so busy?
Why do I spend so much time looking after everyone else and so little time listening to myself?
What do I actually want in this chapter of my life?
When was the last time I did something purely because it brought me joy?
Perhaps you've become so used to being capable, responsible and reliable that you've lost touch with the parts of yourself that are curious, playful, creative and free.
You don't need a complete life overhaul. You may not even need to quit your job, move to Bali or reinvent yourself! But you do need space to slow down, to reflect, to reconnect with the person you’ve been too busy to listen to.
If you're craving more clarity, more self-trust, more joy and a deeper connection with yourself, this retreat was created for you. Because sometimes the most important journey isn't becoming someone new.
It's about finding your way back to yourself.
How It Works-
Register your interest and you will be invited to complete a short application form.
This helps ensure the retreat is the right fit and gives us a sense of where you are in your life right now and what you’re hoping for from the experience.
If it feels aligned, you’ll be invited to book your place.
Only 10 women can join. The total cost for 7 days, 6 nights is 1800e including airport pick-up and drop-off.
-
If the retreat feels aligned, you’ll receive confirmation of your place along with deposit details and practical information. This stage is simply about securing your spot and making everything official.
-
After booking, we'll send you a Welcome Packet with everything you need to know - detailed schedules, packing list recommendations, add-ons to consider, and more.
-
We'd recommend booking your transportation to and from the event as soon as possible, to ensure you can arrive without any complications or delays. We can arrange pickup from the airport in Bordeaux.
-
You’ll arrive at our private villa on the southwest coast of France and be welcomed into the space by Megan and the team.
From the moment you arrive, everything is taken care of. The pace is intentionally slow, giving you time to settle in, meet the other women and begin stepping out of your everyday responsibilities.
-
After the retreat, you’ll also be invited into a private WhatsApp group and receive monthly online group check-ins for three months.
This ensures the experience doesn’t end when you leave France, but continues to unfold as you return home.
Because the real impact of this work isn’t just how you feel on retreat - it’s how you begin to relate to yourself afterwards.
