France · 8 days · From USD 775
UIT is a quiet week offline in nature, held in the heart of the Drôme Provençale, surrounded by rolling hills, fresh air, and open skies. The intention is simple: to step out of the constant pace of modern life and immerse yourself in a slower, more mindful rhythm. Phones are kept switched off in shared spaces during the week, allowing the days to unfold with greater presence and fewer distractions. There is no intensive program and nothing you need to achieve—just a gentle structure that invites you to follow your own inner promptings.
Mornings often begin with movement such as yoga, qigong, or functional training, guided by our experienced facilitators Alex and Bobbie. After breakfast, the day opens up naturally, offering time for walks in nature, swimming in the river, reading, resting, or simply sitting in the garden. Some guests choose to spend time alone, while others enjoy the company of fellow participants. During the week, we make a few guided outings into the surrounding area—perhaps a walk in the nearby hills, a visit to a local market or village, a trip to a small essential oil distillery, or a swim in a natural swimming spot.
Evenings are calm and quiet, often closing with meditation, yoga nidra, or gentle yoga. Sometimes we gather outside under the stars or relax in the hot tub, gazing up at the night sky above the mountains. Everything is optional—you are welcome to join the activities or simply follow your own rhythm. This flexibility is at the heart of the retreat, honoring each person's unique needs and desires.
The retreat is held at Le Rêve, a spacious house in a quiet valley with a large garden, swimming pool, hot tub, and a small river flowing along the property. The house offers several shared living areas and multiple bedrooms across different floors, balancing togetherness with privacy. Meals are prepared with care and attention, focusing on simple, pure, and nourishing ingredients that support the body during a calm week. With a small group of only 8–12 participants, the atmosphere remains intimate and supportive, allowing for meaningful connections and personal reflection.
