Women's Forest Retreat in the Ardennes: Movement, Nutrition and Fire Rituals

The retreat takes place over three days and two nights in a cottage in the heart of the Ardennes forest, in the Lesse Valley. The group is deliberately small, so the days stay quiet and there is room for everyone in the sessions.

The core of the programme is movement and body practices, run alongside time spent outside in the forest. Alongside those, there are sessions on female metabolic nutrition — what the body needs and how it responds at different stages — and fire rituals in the evening. Parts of the day are kept deliberately silent, with time set aside simply to observe what is around you rather than fill the space with talk.

The point of the format is a pause. You step out of your usual rhythm for a few days, with the forest as the setting rather than a spa or a studio, and the schedule leaves room to actually notice the change of pace.

Beyond the elements listed above, the page does not give a detailed hour-by-hour schedule, instructor names or room details. What is confirmed is the setting, the group format (women only), the length, and the two sets of dates.
