Wellness Retreat with Yoga, Meditation, and Energy Healing Course in the French Countryside

At Domaine de Mournac, you'll find a rare blend of things: a rustic, historic setting, meticulously taught yoga and meditation, and a structured, internationally recognized healing course. The retreat is held in a 14th-century stone coachhouse, carefully restored and set on a hill overlooking 15 acres of private woodland and vines. This means you're not just booking a holiday; you're booking into a living, breathing retreat center that has been running high-quality programs for over two decades.

The energy healing course is the heart of the program. Based on the esoteric principles described in the books of Alice Bailey, this method works with subtle energy to restore balance and coax the body's self-healing abilities into action. You will spend each day in lectures and practical sessions, learning to meditate for awareness, balance chakras, and work with the energetic blueprint of the body. Because it's an intensive course, the mornings are dedicated to theory and practice, while the afternoons are deliberately left open. This is not an accident—it's a chance to integrate what you're learning, to let the stillness of the countryside and the practice settle in.

The teaching is led by Elleke van Kraalingen, a clinical health psychologist and naturopath, alongside her husband Pieter, a physiotherapist with a background in cranio-sacral therapy. Their combined decades of experience in energy healing, psychology, and bodywork inform every session. They're supported by the atmosphere of the place itself: the spacious yoga studio with its terrace view, the cozy living rooms for quiet reading, and the outdoor pool with its panoramic vista. Guests consistently praise the strong focus on meditation and the peaceful, natural location, with many returning year after year.
