The Solar Awakening Retreat
There are moments in the year that carry a different kind of energy and the summer solstice is one of them. It is the longest day of the year, a peak of light, a moment, where clarity, energy and life itself feel amplified. And in France, it is also the famous Fête de la Musique ! A day where sound becomes collective, alive, everywhere.
What if, instead of just listening to music…you could feel it differently ? This is my invitation to experience sound, vibration & energy from the inside.
Over 2.5 days, we will step away from the noise to reconnect with a more essential rhythm : your own. Through sound, breath, cold exposure, movement, journaling & much more, we will explore how the body, the nervous system & your heart frequencies are deeply connected. How a rhythm can unlock something that words cannot reach.
We will create, write, breathe, dance, listen… sometimes simply be. Because everything is vibration & when you learn to tune into it, something real begins to shift !
This is not your traditional yoga retreat. It’s an invitation. Not for everyone.
We turn the volume up on what’s alive inside us. We follow what feels true, not what looks right. We let our light take more space. We raise the frequency of what we’re here to live.
With much love, Caroline

I’ve fallen in love with that place & nature so I naturally manifested an inspiring group of souls coming together for a week end of mind, body, heart awakening.
Accessible to all levels however it’s all about the right energy so I will make sure each guest share that same frequency.

I’ll leave you with this…
“This is not a yoga retreat. It’s an awakening. A moment out of time, intentionally created to shift something real.
I care deeply about the energy I create, the spaces I hold, the people I bring together. I put intention in every detail. Attention in every moment. Because that’s how magic happens.
For the past 15 years, I’ve been creating experiences and holding spaces where people feel safe enough to be fully themselves.
Spaces where something softens, opens… and connection naturally happens.That sense of belonging is at the heart of everything I do.
There will be surprises. Moments you didn’t expect. Things you didn’t know you needed. All of it, deeply connected to this beautiful land. All of it designed to bring you back to yourself.
I’m surrounding myself with special souls for this one. People who feel, who care, who are here to co-create something that goes beyond words. I know this will be something very special.
You’ll feel it. We’re here to live fully.”

Are you coming ?!
I’ve come to realize that the moments that have elevated me the most…
were never the ones I had planned much in advanced.
They were the ones where I said yes to a pause,
to being guided, to the unknown.
This is the spirit of this retreat. A living experience shaped by the place, the people, the energy.
I’ve surrounded myself with incredibly special, inspiring souls for this journey.
People who each bring their own magic, depth and presence.
Something real happens in these spaces.
In the encounters, the conversations, the unexpected.
A different way to connect.
To the land. To others. To yourself.
Everything is optional.
The château is yours to inhabit, at your own rhythm.
There is no right way.
Only your way ✨
