The mental spreadsheet that never closes.
/
Something I learned from years of design work carries over to the retreats I lead. People rarely buy the thing you describe as your offer. They buy what the thing removes.
Here’s what I mean.
A woman considering an experience in France doesn’t lie awake thinking about museum tickets. She’s thinking about whether she can put down the mental spreadsheet she’s been carrying for a decade, and whether the person who’s been burdened by it is still there.
The mental spreadsheet
You know the one. Who needs what by when? Whose birthday is coming? Which prescription needs refilling, which form is overdue, which family member sounded off on the phone?
The spreadsheet never closes. It runs quietly during meetings, during dinner, during the movie you meant to enjoy.
The days you spend as part of the L’Aventure Française retreat, where there is no list that’s yours to manage, do something specific to a mind that hasn't stopped churning in years.
The first day or two often feels strange. By the third day, women start hearing thoughts that had been long been drowned out.
What comes back
One retreat participant told me she arrived with no clear path forward and left stronger in her decisions, and finally able to focus on taking care of herself without guilt.
Another woman said she’d been letting fear make her choices and came home listening to her own read on things instead.
That’s the return I care about.
Not simply enjoying a nice week, though it is that, but a different relationship with your own judgment that holds up once you’re back in at your desk and back in your kitchen.
The experience starts before you fly.
We have a private coaching session focused on your Enneagram style, plus group calls so you land already connected to the other women.
Six women come with me.
September 26 we meet in Paris and then travel to the countryside before flying home October 4.
Every detail is planned for you, so you can be fully present and cared for.
If you want to know whether this is your year, a short conversation is the fastest way to find out.
