WHO WE ARE

The concept for this retreat was born out of our own desire for a moment of self care: a safe space to center, recalibrate, and come back into alignment with our own physical and mental wellbeing.

We had the natural awareness that clean food, soft and conscious movement, and a healing touch were necessary components on this nurturing journey, and when this breathtaking venue just landed in our lap, we took it as a sign that the retreat was meant to be.

After that, it was easy to get the best professionals we know to build up our team — it is the type of retreat that everyone who is looking for deep inner work in a beautiful, supportive environment has been wishing for for themselves!

All the women on your team have been walking the path of wellness for a long time. Each of them brings a special flavour and different modalities of healing to our time together, and they are passionate about sharing the tools they’ve learned on their journey with you.

YOGA

Charlotte Soumeire-Gantenbein

Due to a car crash I had to quit dance school, and dove into my yoga practice during my recovery.

Once healed, it felt natural to share further the practice I was so grateful for.

I built on the knowledge acquired from dancing first, then got 3 Teachers degrees, explored various styles from Sivananda to Iyengar, various Vinyasa styles from Glenn Ceresoli and Lance Schuler to Gérard Arnaud; dove into deep stretches from Vishranta with the help of props and silks, and played along with Jiva Mukti, Kundalini and Bikram Yoga.

Deepening the poses beyond their trendy vibes, I got certified in Pilates, Applied MovementNeurology, & Reconnection in order to help my mind guide my body through its intricate pathways, and have the language to translate the Spanda from my Cashmere meditation practice into a “postural” yoga class.

I love to work with people, and I teach 12 hours a week. In my class I use a playful yet precise approach, building on what the students can actually do at the time and give them the tool to safely reach their goals and build their own practice.

DETOX & DANCE

Jasmine El Mulki

Juicing and Dancing have had such a radical positive influence on my mental and physical well-being that I want to provide the experience to as many people as possible. It is experience and knowledge : free and replicable at will!

Having been shamefully dismissed from my classical ballet classes at the age of 6 for being a distractive agent, it took me a while to find my way back to dancing as a form of meditation and exercise.

A ski accident which broke my hip, an autoimmune disease with chronic inflammatory pain, and a late diagnosis of ADHS, all brought me back to the basics: Food, Body, Soul.

Today, thanks to simple, yet powerful knowledge about food and movement, I avoid much pain, medication, and mental discomfort. I have seen the changes in people around me doing the Juicing Detox, and it is always almost magical to watch how fast and starkly their general state improves.

As a Social Anthropology Graduate turned Film Producer specialising in Social and Behavior Change content, I use my free time to practice, share, and above all, celebrate each precious moment.
