Embodiment Retreat 2026
NOURISH
30 JUNE - 4 JULY 2026Join us at the magical Villa La Tosca, in the beautiful Bordeaux region of France, for an exclusive wellness retreat designed for the women who truly need it. Those ready to release, immerse, connect and re-align - accessing a state of being that feels profoundly nourished, and deeply whole. Let yourself indulge in a life-changing experience, - one that ripples outward long after you return home…
Over 5 exquisite days, you will receive personally tailored coaching, expert-led embodiment & movement practice, somatics, nervous system restoration and sacred ceremony. Mindful reconnection with yourself, our group and the nature surrounding you, is our promise. Set within a haven of peace just close to the Atlantic - the Arcachon Basin offers an exceptional natural setting for those seeking to recharge. A unique and remarkable ecosystem with wonderfully restorative properties to bed into your body and heart. The gentle atmosphere created by the light, the water, the sand, and the pine trees, invites you to savour this extended experience of serenity and aliveness. Once inside our exclusive venue, you will find a hand-curated beauty that matches all the splendour you witness outside.
Imagine how your life might feel if you were truly NOURISHED - not just fed, not just rested, but deeply, cellularly restored.
Nourishment is not indulgence. It is not excess, nor escape - but profound, intelligent restoration.
In a world that celebrates output, acceleration and performance, depletion has become normalised. We override hunger. We override exhaustion. We override intuition. We override the quiet signals of the body, asking to be tended, softened, replenished. In the process, intuition erodes, empowerment diminishes - the light that makes you unique, whole and potent in the world, is irrevocably dented.
To nourish is to reverse that pattern…
To nourish the body is to attune to its rhythms and honour its needs - to find energetic fullness, light & ease.
To nourish the mind is to create space for clarity, creativity, spacious thought.
To nourish the soul is to remember what steadies you, inspires you, and makes you feel exquisitely alive. To nourish the heart is to come into a self-connection, love and beauty that not only alter you - but ripple into every relationship you hold dear.
This is the essence of this year’s retreat. Hosted in the breathtaking sanctuary of Villa La Tosca in Bordeaux, France - where the forest meets the ocean, and time seems to lengthen - we gather in a setting designed for the exhale. Grand yet intimate, elegant yet deeply grounding, this historic villa invites you into a slower tempo. Morning light spilling across the water. Long tables set for lingering meals. Salt air, pine forests, open skies…
Here, nourishment becomes a practice…
Through carefully guided embodiment work, restorative rituals, conscious conversation, and moments of exquisite stillness, you will recalibrate your nervous system, replenish your vitality, and reconnect to the version of yourself that thrives.
This is not about doing more - it is about receiving more, absorbing more, and becoming resourced from the inside out, in a setting that holds you. A return to fullness.
This is your special invitation to join me in France for a truly life-enhancing experience.
If this is calling you, let’s connect...
When we step outside our everyday lives, and into the quite literally extra-ordinary - we radically expand our capacity to see, feel, experience & receive.
Not just in that moment but for the weeks, months and years to come. It takes great courage, self-valuing and willingness to take the leap. As we do, we transform ourselves - inside & out. I can't wait to walk that path with you.
Over the course of these luxuriously curated days together, we will gently journey into a rich tapestry of mind, body, energetic and ceremonial practices. Every element is thoughtfully designed to replenish you from the inside out - so that you leave feeling restored, reconnected, and deeply nourished in every layer of your being.
This is an invitation to reset your nervous system, your body, your emotional landscape, and discover the quieter, intuitive parts of you that so often go unheard. Through intentional rituals, embodied movement, deep rest, guided inner work, and sacred cacao ceremony, you will be supported to identify and soften blocked emotions and old memories - allowing them to be processed with compassion rather than force.
Guests will experience a bespoke schedule of medicinal movement, meditation, breath-work, deep developmental coaching and multi-dimensional ritual - from energetics to ceremonial cacao & spiritual exploration. These days together will mark a transition - from the version of you that came before, into the expansive being that you know lives deep within. Every aspect of your body-mind will be taken care of; from the organic food you will eat from our local Michelin Star chef, to the tender pockets of private time for Journalling, walks, swims, 1:1 moments with the team, or private massages that can be booked ahead. Our intention is to so deeply tend to the person within you that their joy, energy and full voice lives through for the months and years to come.
