Retreat Overview

Step into the unparalleled beauty of Southern France, where rolling vineyards, fragrant lavender fields, and ancient stone villages create the perfect setting for deep transformation.

The Awakened Heart Retreat is a sacred journey designed to reconnect you with your inner wisdom and the profound healing energies of this land, long associated with Mary Magdalene and Mother Mary.

Guided by Amanda Giacomini & Chantal Russell, each day offers an opportunity to slow down, breathe deeply, and nourish your soul through:
✨ Transformative yoga and meditation practices
✨ Sacred pilgrimage to sites of spiritual significance
✨ Soulful storytelling and heart-centered rituals
✨ Nourishing, locally-inspired vegetarian cuisine
✨ A serene stay at the beautiful Château Rieucaze

Join a circle of like-minded seekers for a journey of beauty, spirit, and renewal, as you rediscover what truly matters in the stillness and sacredness of this land.
