Winter retreat in the south of France
December 4th to 7th 2025
Nutrition
Seasonal nutrition in winter is key to nourishing the body, providing warming, nutrient-dense foods that support immunity and overall well-being during the colder months.
Our private chef will thoughtfully prepare hearty, seasonally inspired dishes, ensuring you enjoy comforting and wholesome meals that sustain your energy, promote balance, and bring warmth to every bite.

Pilates
The daily Pilates practice will help you stay active, build strength, and maintain flexibility during the colder winter months.
With a focus on controlled movements and mindful breathing, each session will support your core stability, posture, and overall well-being—offering warmth and vitality when your body needs it most. You’ll leave feeling recharged, balanced, and deeply nourished, ready to embrace the calm and restoration of the winter season.

Cacao Ceremony
A cacao ceremony is a heart-opening ritual that promotes emotional healing, mindfulness, and connection. The natural compounds in cacao enhance mood, increase mental clarity, and provide a gentle energy boost without the jitters of caffeine.
Often combined with meditation or breathwork, it helps deepen self-awareness and spiritual connection. It’s a powerful way to cultivate inner peace, creativity, and a sense of community.
