THE ART OF REST

A Soulful Retreat In The Heart of France
1-5 May, 2026

Are you running on empty… even when you’re not doing anything?

This retreat was created for you, if…

You give so much to others. You’re ambitious, dedicated, and dependable — but lately, it feels like you’re carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders.
Your mind races even when your body begs for rest. You crave clarity, stillness, and the feeling of being held — not just by others, but by life itself.
If you’re burnt out, overwhelmed, or simply exhausted by the constant “doing”…

Waking up in a peaceful French château surrounded by ancient forests, birdsong, and rolling hills.

Starting your day with breakfast al fresco, yoga. or a calming meditation. Nourishing your body with local, seasonal meals prepared with love.

Spending afternoons resting by the pool, journaling under the trees, walking barefoot through the grass, or receiving Reiki, sound healing, Breathwork and more.

This is not just a vacation.
It’s a return to your Self. This is your invitation to release, restore, and realign — far from the noise, close to what matters.

This retreat is a lovingly curated experience for heart-centered humans just like you — people who give so much to others, but rarely pause to refill their own cup.
To continue showing up in life with presence, purpose, and care, you don’t need to do more — you need to rest deeper.

You’ll be supported by your hosts, Bruce and Carmen, who bring over 30 years of combined experience in the healing arts, yoga, and therapeutic work. Together, they hold a grounded, compassionate space where you can let go, slow down, and restore. This retreat will skillfully combine Reiki and wellness throughout each and every day of your stay, ensuring you can full rest and recharge.

You’ll be surrounded by a small, supportive group of people who understand the toll of burnout and the longing for something gentler.
