Who Thrives at L’Aventure Française?
/
Let me be honest about who thrives when they choose to be a part of the L’Aventure Française retreat.
The first question is usually what the days hold.
Here’s the shape of it.
We begin in Paris, living together in a beautiful, comfortable flat. It’s situated in a great part of the city with easy access to several metro stations, and there are great bakeries and shops nearby.
We explore the city by metro and on foot. We visit museums — including some less familiar than the Louvre, and quite spectacular. We explore quiet corners and market streets most visitors never find. We wander varied neighborhoods, stop in amazing small shops, and eat beautifully.
Then we take the train south to Nouvelle-Aquitaine in central France, where we settle into a private retreat center in the country.
We live in a modern building that was transformed from an ancient structure. We enjoy our own open space for creating, with cozy sofas to curl up on for deep conversations. It has a cathedral ceiling and is flooded with light, and the lush landscape outside fills every window. Our comfy bedrooms and modern baths make it a delight to live there.
Our gracious hosts feed us meals in their charming country house down a path. The delectable local food is prepared with love you can taste. The gardens are exquisite and the surrounding villages invite long, unhurried walks.
A surprising aspect for women is how personal the experience is before we even leave home.
You and I meet one-on-one ahead of the trip, to explore your Enneagram, so that you arrive in France already grounded in who you are.
And, we all meet on group calls before arriving in Paris. There’s individual coaching in the country too, along with playful creative work that opens your heart in unexpected and delightful ways.
I arrange everything from the moment you land to the night before you fly home.
Your part is to show up and be present.
Can you envision what it would be like being part of this experience, and how much the adventure might impact your life?
I’d love to walk you through it all, answer your questions, and help you see what can be possible for you.
