Saint-Émilion

A 4-day weekend retreat in the heart of the vines of Saint-Emilion to explore how midlife is the perfect time to embrace change, challenges and opportunities to flourish now and beyond. Give yourself space and time to reflect, be mindful and get creative while having fun and leave with an actionable plan for sustainable change to realise the fulfilled and healthy life balance you want.

You're looking forward to a new chapter...

but  you don’t know where to start

Welcome to the Flourish Retreat – a safe space to guide you onto the path for an exciting midlife and beyond. Whether you come alone or with a friend, you will find yourself in a group of likeminded women, all with the same mindset to think creatively about their next chapter to not only thrive but flourish.

Give yourself space and time to reflect

  • Join a small group of like-minded women for workshops, wine tasting and yoga to map out your path towards your future – whether your goals are professional, personal, educational or wellness driven.
  • Take the time to reset your own inner compass, in a safe space where you can dare to dive into the major questions that will shape your next chapter.
  • Find the confidence to embrace major change, drawing on your unique life experience and the creativity and resilience you have built up over time.
  • Privatised exclusively for us, the Petit Monlot residence nestles in the heart of the Saint-Emilion vineyards. It offers a top-of-the-range experience, combining an unspoilt location with the charm of a completely renovated guesthouse
