Gordes, France

Join us for a week of calm in the UNESCO Heritage town of Gordes, a perfectly preserved Medieval town perched on the hills of the Luberon Valley. Let the magic of rural France peel away layers of stress and conditioning to reveal a softer, more peaceful you. Our retreat offers daily movement, meditation, journaling workshops, bike rides, visits to traditional markets, and amazing home-cooked French meals by our superstar chef. We build in time for exploring the castles, towns and traditions that make France so captivating. Take a deep breath and reset your body, mind and step into the year with a new perspective!
