May 28 - June 1, 2026
Beneath the spectacle of a Blue Moon on the very threshold of summer, we invite you to a retreat of gentle transformation and luminous presence. Between May 28th and June 1st, alongside the full radiance of twin moons, Stephanie Hoo and Abi Tasker will guide you through movement, stillness, and shared moments of soulful connection. Here, amidst rolling French hills and the soft glow of nature, you'll find space to breathe, unfold, and plant new seeds under a sky that whispers, “this moment is sacred.”
Under the rare glow of a Blue Moon, you are invited to pause, breathe, and realign.

Over five days, experience Vinyasa, Yin, Qigong, forest bathing, and sound healing with Himalayan singing bowls - practices attuned to the rhythms of nature and the rare Blue Moon. We’ll also enjoy a special full moon circle, yoga nidra, journaling, aromatherapy blending, countryside walks, and visits to local French markets.
The Place
A lovingly restored farmhouse surrounded by meadows, forest trails, and star-filled skies. Just 30 minutes from Limoges, it offers the perfect blend of retreat and ease.
The Practices
Practice yoga in the light-filled barn, gentle Qigong on the deck, forest bathing, and sound healing to carry you into deep stillness.
The Nourishment
Savor wholesome vegan meals, gently infused with Ayurvedic inspiration, designed to nourish body and spirit after each day’s exploration.
The Ceremony
Welcome the luminous Blue Moon of May 31st with a special ceremony - a rare moment to reflect, renew, and step into what’s next.
Tung Lam Linh Son temple
We'll visit this beautiful Buddhist monastery on the auspicious Vesak Day. Giant Buddha statues, beautiful landscaping and serenity awaits you.
Sunday Markets
One morning, we'll wander a lakeside French market - soaking up local flavours, colours, and charm.
Tea & Aromatherapy
Meet a French tea herbalist who creates specialty teas and distills essential oils, where you'll create your own bespoke aromatherapy blend.
Forest Bathing
An ancient Japanese practice of immersing yourself in the sights, sounds, and smells of the forest to restore balance and well-being. Slow down, breathe deeply, and let nature soothe your mind and body.
Authentic Relating Workshop
Foster genuine connections through honest communication, active listening, and empathy. Nurture meaningful relationships based on authenticity and mutual understanding.
Through mindful movement, we invite you to reconnect with your body, cultivate energy, and find balance, presence, and vitality throughout the day.
Yoga
Our yoga sessions - Vinyasa, restorative Yin, and Yoga Nidra - invite you to experience the full spectrum of movement and stillness. Morning Vinyasa energizes and awakens the body, restorative Yin allows deep release and relaxation, and Yoga Nidra guides profound rest for the mind. Together, they promote balance, presence, and renewal.
Qigong
Qigong nurtures energy, calm, and inner harmony through gentle movements and mindful breathwork. Enhanced with acupressure and the soothing qualities of aromatherapy, it awakens vitality while promoting deep relaxation, leaving you grounded, refreshed, and fully aligned.
