Avez-vous commencé à mettre en pratique vos résolutions pour la nouvelle année?
Ou avez-vous déjà remarqué une certaine résistance?

Si résistance il y a, c’est naturel. Chaque fois que nous essayons de modifier une habitude, notre cerveau accueille la nouveauté avec hésitation. C’est pourtant là que la neuroplasticité devient notre meilleure alliée. De petites actions régulières, presque imperceptibles au début, finissent par créer de nouvelles connexions neuronales!

Un minuscule pas, répété jour après jour, peut réellement remodeler le cerveau et transformer nos comportements.

Alors si le rythme vous semble lent, souvenez-vous : vous n’échouez pas. Vous apprenez.

Choisissez une petite action intentionnelle aujourd’hui. Répétez-la demain.
C’est ainsi que le changement durable s’installe: en douceur, avec constance et bienveillance envers vous-même, et de l’intérieur.

🇬🇧 Have you started putting your New Year resolutions into practice?

Or have you noticed a bit of resistance creeping in?

It’s completely natural. Each time we try to shift a habit, our brain meets the unfamiliar with hesitation. But this is where neuroplasticity becomes our greatest ally. Small, consistent actions, almost imperceptible at first, gradually create new neural pathways.

One tiny step, repeated often, has the power to rewire the brain and reshape our behaviours.

So if things feel slow, remember: you’re not failing. You’re learning.
Choose one small intentional action today. Then repeat it tomorrow.
This is how real, lasting change takes root: gently, steadily, and from within.

Just found a friend to be with for my morning meditation: a beautiful itchy worm…🐛

When was the last time you pressed on the pause button, just to be 🌿 ?

In the wilderness, animals live in a constant cycle of high stress (the hunt) and total rest.

Their bodies know how to “shake off’ the trauma and relax their nervous system.

We humans often forget as we hold on our “survival mode”, avoiding what feels uncomfortable rather than deal with the emotional charge associated with it - long after the “predator” (threat) is gone.

Nature reminds us how to release it. It’s the ultimate safe space to let go.

That’s what TRE™ - Tension and trauma release Exercises - is about.

Facilitating TRE™ sessions in the wilderness is something profound, as Nature kindly reminds us to slow down...

🇫🇷
En brousse, les animaux vivent dans un cycle constant de tension extrême car ils sont chasseurs ou chassés, suivi d’un repos total. Leurs corps savent naturellement «libérer » les tensions et traumatismes.

Nous, humains, l’oublions souvent. Nous restons en mode survie, conservant stress, anxiétés et anciens traumatismes bien après que le « prédateur » a disparu.

La nature nous rappelle comment nous en défaire. Elle est l’espace le plus sûr qui soit pour enfin lâcher prise.

C’est précisément l’essence du TRE™.

Faciliter des séances de TRE™ au cœur de la nature sauvage est une expérience profonde, la Nature nous rappelant l’importance de ralentir…

There’s an ancient truth the most successful people understand: energy returns to its source, amplified.

We’ve mastered generosity in business: investing in others, building relationships, creating value. Yet we rarely extend that same strategic generosity to ourselves.

➡️ Operating from depletion isn’t sustainable. It’s why clarity becomes clouded and decision-making feels heavy.

A retreat is a wise investment you can make in your own capacity. It’s a declaration:
▫️I invest in my clarity
▫️I invest in my restoration
▫️ I invest in my inner peace

The return is exponential:
▫️ Precision where there was fog
▫️ Vitality where there was exhaustion
▫️A groundedness that elevates every decision, relationship.

When you resource yourself fully, your impact becomes effortless, a natural expression of abundance. 🐘

When you contemplate the silence of the African savannah, with no distractions but the sounds of the bush, your inner world comes to the surface.

The raw honesty of the life cycle gives us permission to be honest with ourselves.

The ancient rhythms of the wild help us find our own. Nature is the ultimate mirror, reflecting back our own strength, our own fears, and our own deep need for connection.

🇫🇷
Lorsque vous contemplez le silence de la savane africaine, sans autre distraction que les sons de la brousse, votre monde intérieur fait surface. L’honnêteté brute du cycle de la vie nous donne la permission d’être honnêtes avec nous-mêmes. Les rythmes ancestraux de la vie sauvage nous aident à retrouver les nôtres. La nature est le miroir ultime, reflétant notre propre force, nos propres peurs et notre profond besoin de connexion…

View of our river bed (causeway) !
Rain, floods, stuck at home and no more power. Will touch base again once the electricity has been restored ⚡️

🇫🇷 Nous voilà sous le déluge avec des inondations, coupés du monde et sans électricité. J’espère vous retrouver bientôt dès que le courant sera revenu. ⚡️

Je suis encore émue de notre dernière retraite, où j’ai été témoin de l’alchimie rare d’un groupe se crée. Générosité et bienveillance deviennent une force de guérison collective.

La sagesse ancienne nous enseigne que ce que nous donnons nous revient trois fois (merci Cha Cha...).

Je l’ai vu se manifester sous nos yeux : une épaule réconfortante devenait la force d’un cercle entier. Une vérité partagée en inspirait trois autres.

Chaque présence authentique, chaque oreille attentive permet de tisser des liens qui perdurent bien au-delà du voyage.

Ce qui me touche profondément ? C’est que ce cercle de soutien vibre encore, preuve que la bienveillance cultivée ensemble continue de rayonner dans nos vies quotidiennes et que ces “belles âmes” continue aussi de communiquer, de se soutenir, de partager.

C’est cela, la vraie magie d’une retraite : une communauté qui nous porte dans un élan d’amour, bien après le retour.

Gratitude 🤍🤍🤍

🇬🇧
I am still moved by our last retreat, where I witnessed the rare alchemy that occurs when group cohesion forms. Generosity and kindness become a force for collective healing.

Ancient wisdom teaches us that what we give comes back to us threefold (thank you Cha Cha...). I saw it manifest before our eyes: a comforting shoulder became the strength of an entire circle. One shared truth inspired three others.

Each authentic presence, each attentive ear helps weave bonds that endure well beyond the journey.

What touches me most? It’s that this circle of support still vibrates, proof that the kindness cultivated together continues to radiate in our daily lives - and those “beautiful souls” continues to communicate, to support one another, to share.

That is the true magic of a retreat: a community that carries us, long after we return home.

Gratitude 🤍🤍🤍

Wishing you a bold, daring, successful HORSE FIRE YEAR ! 🔥

As we look towards a new year, what’s the most powerful commitment you are ready to make?

Beyond a resolution, what about a revolution in your own wellbeing?

This year, make a commitment to yourself.

To do the deep, rewarding work of self-development and healing. A retreat is a profound way to honour such a journey.

This is your opportunity to:
✨ Become aware of the energy you put out into the world. Your path of growth is a gift to everyone you love.
✨Gently process old wounds and release the emotional weight you’ve been carrying for so long.
✨Transform your impact on those around you, showing up as your most present, authentic, and peaceful self.

🔥 Imagine stepping into 2026 feeling lighter, clearer, and more aligned.
