Imagine stepping away from the noise of your daily life and into a sunlit villa in a village in the south of France. Surrounded by rolling vineyards, picturesque towns and lavender fields, you’ll experience the rare gift of unhurried time—a chance to pause with intention, breathe deeply, and reconnect with yourself.

Pause in Provence is more than just a retreat—it’s a turning point. Designed for people navigating change, seeking clarity, or simply craving a reset, this intimate experience blends rest, exploration, storytelling and coaching to help you reimagine your story and step into your future with renewed energy and focus.

Reimagine your story

This is not a workshop in a pretty place—it’s a true retreat. You’ll slow down, explore, and breathe in new surroundings while gaining tools and insights to help you move forward with intention.

Here’s how your days might look:

• Rest and solitude: A slow and quiet start, enjoying croissants and café au lait on the terrace.
• Coaching and connection: Structured morning sessions designed to clear mental fog, spark clarity, and build energy. You’ll leave with practical tools and a reimagined narrative for your next chapter.
• Exploration and adventure: Open afternoons with optional excursions to meander nearby towns, explore local markets or just sit by the pool. Activities to be confirmed but may include massage, yoga, hiking, kayaking on the Rhône River, a visit to a lavender farm, and a cooking class—we’ll see!
• Delicious meals featuring fresh, local ingredients—paired with new friends and unhurried conversations that naturally foster connection, without pressure. Some will be in restaurants, some prepared by a personal chef, and some pulled together by the group using fresh ingredients from the weekly market down the street and the bakery next door.

Who is this for?

Pause in Provence is for you if:

• You’re too busy to think and crave dedicated time to pause and reflect.
• You feel stuck or unclear about what’s next and want expert guidance to help you move forward.
• You’re facing or considering a transition—whether personal or professional—and need a compelling vision for your future.
• You’re seeking restorative travel with meaning—something that feeds your soul, not just your passport.
• You’re ready to be inspired by a magical setting (and love the smell of fresh-baked baguettes and lavender!).
• You’re open to adventure and flexible enough to see what happens as we mix structure with serendipity.
• You recognize the value of journeying alongside others and are willing to contribute to this experience being amazing for everyone.
• You’re prepared to invest in yourself and create a memorable inflection point in your life.

What you’ll take home

You’ll leave Provence with more than memories—you’ll take home:

• Clarity and direction – A vivid picture of your next steps, free from the fog of indecision.
• Energy and momentum – The renewed spark that comes from deep rest, inspiration, and meaningful reflection.
• Practical tools – A personalized toolkit, including provocation cards, frameworks, and practical strategies to keep you moving forward long after you return.
• A sense of possibility – A fresh narrative for your life, one that feels aligned, expansive, and exciting.

About the villa

You’ll stay in a stunning 18th-century house nestled in the charming village of Graveson. The almost 6,000 square foot home has been fully renovated in a mix of antique and contemporary, while still retaining its character and quirks.

You’ll have plenty of room to breathe, reflect, and connect, whether you prefer quiet corners or lively conversations.

There are nine rooms available, that can be single or double occupancy, most with an ensuite. Some have a king bed, some have a queen, some have two twins. Bedroom selection will be first-come, first-served based on the order in which you register. There are eight bathrooms in total—they’ve been renovated, but can be a bit quirky as you’d expect in house built more than 250 years ago!

The villa features a large country kitchen, a marble staircase, a screening room, on-site laundry, a walled library, an outdoor terrace and a heated pool. All of the bedrooms are air conditioned and linens and towels are provided. There is Wi-Fi at the villa, but the connection can be unreliable at times.

What’s nearby

• The villa is located in Graveson, a delightful Provencal village with a friendly community and vibrant local life. There’s a bakery next door, a weekly outdoor market, and a pharmacy and supermarket within walking distance of the house.
• The village is 10 minutes from Saint-Rémy-de-Provence and 15 minutes from Avignon.

What’s included

• Accommodation for five nights.
• All breakfasts, three lunches, four dinners, and non-alcoholic beverages and snacks throughout.
• Professional coaching/facilitation that will provide clarity and energy as you reimagine the next chapter of your story.
• Transportation and entry fees for at least three local experiences or excursions—details to follow on that.

What’s not included

• Airfare and transportation to the venue – Participants are responsible for making all travel arrangements to/from the villa in France.
• Travel insurance – All participants must obtain comprehensive travel insurance that includes coverage for trip cancellation/interruption, medical emergencies, lost or delayed baggage, and any activities planned during the trip.
• Costs for variations made outside the group arrangements.
• Alcoholic beverages and food outside of the inclusions shown above.

We hope you’ll join us for this transformative retreat.
