Follow a path of love

On retreat, we have the opportunity to take a step back from the day-to-day and view our life path from a new and fresh perspective. We can savour privileged moments, when life instead of presenting itself as a mixture of memory and anticipation, can be touched upon in a state of presence and openness. It is then that we are able to recharge and restore our energetic resources, opening our hearts to follow a path of love. 

Join us on this weeklong conscious immersion in nature surrounded by the inspiring beauty of the French Alps. We will practice yoga & meditation, delight in delicious vibrant food, go foraging for wild plants and be initiated into a shamanic cacao ritual.

Team

Impassioned experts have come together to make this a unique experience for you : Sophie Lufkin and Selina Gullery (Yoga and meditation), Nicolas Darnauguilhem (Chef at Le Neptune restaurant in Geneva) and Kristy Shelley (Massage practitioner). 

Programme

Our days commence with a meditation practice followed by a two-hour vinyasa yoga class, adapted to meet the needs of both experienced yogis and beginners. 

A gourmet vegetarian brunch, prepared with love by our Chef Nico to nourish our bodies and tantalise our taste buds. The afternoons will be devoted to free time and optional activities: themed hikes, foraging for wild plants, cooking classes, cacao ceremony and massages (at an additional price)… 

In the evenings, we will get together for a restorative yoga practice followed by dinner concocted by our Chef. On one of the evenings, we will enjoy soaking in a hot tub under starry skies! 

The yoga...

Vinyasa Yoga is a creative approach to yoga asana, incorporating fluid and dynamic movements and is usually accompanied by music. Special attention is placed on combining our breath with our movement. This yoga style is suitable for all levels and helps both body and mind release toxins. 

In restorative yoga, the focus is on moving slowly and with complete awareness. Postures are held for a longer period of time. This has therapeutic effects on the body as we release deep tissue trauma, and on the mind as we learn to remain mindful and aware. Each session creates a calm and quiet space, allowing us to penetrate into the depths of our consciousness to find inner peace and a profound meditative state.

We will be accommodated at Le Dojo de la Piaz, a picturesque converted farmhouse in Samoens, French Alps, one hour’s drive from Geneva.
