— HONEY HEAT RETREAT

BORDEAUX, FRANCE

Where the body remembers what the mind forgets.

A slow, sensory immersion into warmth, wild nature, and the quiet power of your own becoming.

Somewhere between the flowers and the fire, you will remember yourself.

14 spots available • September 22 - 27

A French manor house.

Your home for five days — a beautiful, rambling property with a pool and nature trails all around.

Rituals & Offerings

We begin as we mean to continue — gathered around the flame, calling ourselves forward into the week ahead.

Fire opening

Daily embodied yoga and energising pilates to awaken the body. Intuitive movement and free dance to invite heat into every cell.

Movement & expression

Into the wild, hands open. Gathering flowers and herbs with intention, slowing down to notice what blooms.
