Dear friends, 

We invite you to join us in the heart of the French countryside for a retreat devoted to slowing down, reconnecting with the land, and rediscovering the beauty of old-world living. Set within the peaceful landscapes of rural France at Manoir La Croix de La Jugie, this experience is designed to nourish both body and soul through meaningful connection, seasonal food, and timeless traditions. Days unfold gently—fresh French breakfasts shared around the table, afternoons in the garden learning traditional growing practices, and evenings gathered together over beautifully prepared meals inspired by the region.

Throughout the retreat, we will explore what it means to live more intentionally through from-scratch cooking, wellness workshops, and hands-on experiences rooted in French country life. Together, we’ll wander local markets overflowing with fresh produce and artisan cheeses, visit historic villages and renowned porcelain shops in Limoges, and meet local farmers and dairy producers who still steward the land with care and tradition.

Each experience has been thoughtfully chosen to immerse you in the rhythms of rural France—from cooking classes using garden herbs and local dairy to long dinners beneath the evening sky featuring regional dishes, homemade breads, and seasonal desserts prepared by a private chef.

There is also space woven throughout the week for rest and reflection. Quiet mornings, walks through the countryside, optional massages, afternoons by the pool, and unhurried conversations create room to breathe deeply and reconnect with what matters most.

This is more than a retreat—it is an invitation into a slower, richer way of living. A chance to gather around the table, learn old-world skills, savor extraordinary food, and experience the timeless beauty of the French countryside in a deeply personal and meaningful way. We would be honored to welcome you to France for this unforgettable week of connection, nourishment, and inspiration.
