Step out of the life that’s pulling you in every direction.
A restorative small-group retreat near Carcassonne in the South of France.
A few days to slow down, move, eat well, breathe, reflect and reconnect with the person who so often ends up at the bottom of your own list.
No bootcamp. No diet. No pressure to transform yourself before you go home. Just space to begin again differently.

What if you could put everything down for a few days?
Not forever. Just long enough to notice how tired you’ve become.
Long enough to eat without rushing. To move because it feels good. To sleep. To breathe. To have conversations that aren’t about what somebody needs from you.
And perhaps to ask:
What would my life look like if I stopped treating myself as the least important person in it?
That’s the space we’re creating with Life, Rebalanced.
A rhythm, not a packed timetable.
There is a shape to the retreat, and room to listen to yourself within it.
And throughout the retreat, we explore the things that tend to disappear when life gets too busy:
Your body. Your energy. Your needs. Your boundaries. Your relationship with food. Your relationship with yourself. And what you want the next part of your life to feel like.
Wake slowly.
Gentle movement, breathing or yoga. Breakfast together.
Make room to notice.
Interactive Life, Rebalanced sessions, coaching, reflection and practical exercises, alongside time to rest, walk, read or simply do nothing.
Eat without rushing.
Simple, generous meals enjoyed around a table rather than grabbed between commitments.
Unwind together.
Dinner, conversation, perhaps local wine, laughter and time to unwind.
You will not be weighed when you arrive.
There are no calorie targets, punishing workouts or “good” and “bad” foods.
Some people may want to lose weight. Others may want more energy, greater strength, less stress, better habits or simply to feel comfortable in themselves again.
Life, Rebalanced is about creating the conditions in which your body and wellbeing can be better supported, and taking those conditions home with you.
The essential things, and time to rest.
Everything is designed to help you slow down and reconnect, not to fill every minute.

You don’t go home with a list of rules.
You leave understanding yourself better.
You’ll identify the patterns that have been getting in your way and create your own realistic Life, Rebalanced plan for the months ahead.
Not: “On Monday I’m going to completely change my life.”
But: “This is how I’m going to live differently.”
Maybe you need to make room for the person who’s already there.
Places are limited. Reserve your place and Sheelagh will share prices, room options and booking details personally.
