Tailor Made Holistic Retreats
in the Mountains of the Cantal, France
4 days/3 nights - 400€ for 1 person - 600€ for 2 people
introduction -
Here at Jardin d'Eve, we are creating a Retreat Center.
A hub, a sanctuary, a place for people to gather, rest and rejuvenate.
A communal space for workshops, meditations, events, accommodation, therapy sessions & more.
While our barn renovation is still in process,
I am offering space for my 'Tailor Made Holistic Retreats'
the definition of - to retreat
to retire or
withdraw to lodge or isolate oneself.
a place of refuge, or intimacy,
of the French word 'retret', from 'retraire' to retrait
the word 'holistic' means 'the whole'.
It is imperative that we address the WHOLE
(spiritual, emotional, physical & mental) and not just parts of it.
This is why the name of the retreat is simply 'Holistic'.
Below, is the photo gallery
and information about what to expect during the 4 days/3 nights.
Accommodation is included in the price. You will be staying in our cosy caravan.
To see photos of the accommodation please click here.
As soon as you sign up for the retreat, I will send you a short questionnaire.
This is how we will weave our magic and tailor make it to suit you exact needs.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me.
My contact details are at the bottom of the home page of this website.
I will get back to you as soon as I possibly can.
I look forward to holding space for you.

spiritual nourishment -
the word 'spiritual'
means different things to different people.
This retreat, as are all my services, is tailor-made to your individual wishes and needs. Therefore it doesn't matter if you follow a religious belief/practice or you don't believe in anything, all are welcome. Each of us is unique and have had a plethora of experiences in our lifetime.
The aim of your time here, is to learn to feel comfortable with yourself and explore whatever arises during our time together.
This is one topic I ask you about
in the short questionnaire you will receive from me, You can answer in as much or as little detail as you wish. Maybe you have never even thought about it before.
emotional nourishment-
whenever we stop, rest or break from our usual routines, we allow our bodies to relax and release some stored up emotions.
Some we have built up during the day and
some we've accumulated for years.
It is very important to release these stored up emotions, from our body,
as they will eventually lead to illness/dis-ease.
I have worked very hard to create a safe space here, at Jardin d'Eve, so you can allow yourself the honour of 'safe release and recovery'. This is common practice for some people but for others it will be a bit of a surprise. I guarantee you will return home feeling lighter and refreshed. You will also learn a variety of techniques for managing your daily stress and emotional health.
physical nourishment -
from midday on day 1 to midday on day 4,
all your regular meals and beverages will be supplied, along with an unlimited supply of
filtered water from our well.
All will be as local, organic, healthy, and fresh as much as possible. I say 'as much as possible' because the availability changes seasonally, due to our location. We use our own eggs from our chickens and fruit and veggies from our garden too.
One of may favourite treats is a cup of Sacred Cacao.
I offer it in my sessions and meditations, so feel free to ask me for more information on
how we can include it into your retreat.
Cacao is full of vitamins and minerals and it
opens up the heart chakra,
making it a perfect combination for holistic healing.
(there are some contraindications with some medications)
mental nourishment -
lastly, but certainly not least.
Mental health is extremely difficult
to manage these days.
We are being bombarded from all angles, daily.
Just taking a short break can sometimes be enough to re-balance stress levels but sometimes we need to escape into nature, to the mountains... of the Cantal!
(It has been a life saver for us, for sure)
During your time here you will be tuning into your heart more and allowing your mind time to relax.
Learning how to re-balance all your energy bodies and learning to trust your intuition.
In your welcome pack, is a journal, so you can write down your questions, thoughts and experiences while you are here and reflections when you go home.
This is an extremely useful tool,
as it helps to stop over-thinking & worrying.
It's a great souvenir too and fun to look back at as you grow.

- what is an 'intuitive session'?
or as I like to call it locally a 'relaxation session'...
a period of time (usually 1 hour) where you are laid on a massage bed (or you can sit in a chair if you wish)
fully clothed, my hands do not touch you, there is soft music/cd playing,
you can keep your eyes open or closed (some people snore, they are so relaxed)
I use this time to intuitively play musical instruments (tibetan/crystal bowls, bells, chimes, tuning fork, gong etc)
I use my body for a channel for life force energy to travel through
and use my hands direct it to wherever it needs to go,
in this environment, your body automatically activates it's energetic, self-healing mechanism,
when the session is finished I gently tap your shoulder 3 times,
you then take your time to return to the here and now.
***
- if 2 people are doing the retreat together, they stay in the caravan together,
share the experiences/sessions together but have separate/one-on-one reflection time with me.
If the weather allows, there is plenty of opportunity for spending time by yourself in nature.
If you would like to sit by the fire pit, in our stone circle, at night and watch the stars, you are welcome to.

You can share as much or as little information as you like.
