The Itinerary
Every retreat is bespoke. Crafted around the women who say yes, the season, and whatever magic the Provençal light is serving that week. Below is a recent favourite to give you a taste (think of it as inspiration, not a contract).
Day 1 – Arrive & Land
Orchard welcome lunch under the jasmine pergola, craft afternoon (painting or hat-making, your choice), sunset cocktails, and a family-style villa dinner where Elise shares her story and we set intentions for the days ahead.
Day 2 – Move & Savour
Gentle garden yoga beneath the olives, rustic lunch in a hilltop village, private vineyard visit and tasting in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, then back to the villa for a chef-cooked feast, fire-pit toasts, and the ceremonial handing out of your surprise gifts.
Day 3 – Adventure & Play
Poolside Pilates, picnic at the breathtaking Pont du Gard, choose-your-own-adventure afternoon (horseback riding through the vines or hiking the ochre trails of Roussillon), followed by a starlit alfresco dinner with a sommelier who makes wine feel like poetry.
Day 4 – Create & Indulge
Morning Pages + poolside massages, Avignon market haul turned into a hands-on Provençal cooking class, free time to shop or wander the Palace of the Popes, then a candlelit long-table dinner with live guitarist.
Day 5 – Immerse & Restore
A slow, late start with a guided meditation and journalling circle, followed by a lavender-field photoshoot (yes, the iconic one). Afternoon hammam or spa visit, optional kayaking on the Sorgue, and a relaxed Provençal supper at a tiny local bistro that only the locals know.
Day 6 – Integrate & Depart
Closing breathwork in the orchard, farm-to-table farewell lunch, lazy spa/pool hours with vision-board making, a final meal, tears, hugs, and a handwritten note from Elise slipped into your suitcase.
Coastal editions swap vineyards for seaside hikes, ice baths, and beach-club rosé. The bones stay the same: breathe, connect, play, laugh, & glow.
