Unfolding, Together
A Women’s Retreat in the Heart of France
15-19 September 2025
A place to be. To breathe. To unfold in your own rhythm.
This isn’t just a retreat. It’s a remembering.
In a world that often asks you to shrink, this is a space to expand. We gather not to fix or strive—but to breathe, to share, to reclaim what it means to be fully ourselves.
Held in the gentle arms of nature, surrounded by intuitive and wise women like you, we’ll co-create a week of truth, tenderness, and transformation.
You’ll feel right at home if…
You long for connection without pressure
You feel deeply but are often misunderstood
You crave soul nourishment, not more doing
You are tired of roles and ready to just be
You want to share wisdom and receive it too
You feel the beginning of something new… and need space to let it unfold
This retreat is for sensitive, wise, intuitive women—whether you speak your truth loudly or carry it quietly
Can you imagine...
You wake to birdsong and the soft light of a French morning filtering through the windows. There's no rush—just the scent of herbs from the garden, warm tea in your hands, bare feet on tiles. You stretch under the open sky, move as your body wants, and feel your breath deepen.
Later, you're sitting in a circle of women who see the world like you do—gentle, wise, a little wild and creative. There's laughter, aha moments, silence, tears maybe... but all of it is welcome. You’re not explaining yourself. You’re simply being and expressing.
In the afternoon, you lie under an old tree, journaling, reading or doing nothing at all. No one is expecting anything. Later, you might visit a beautiful french garden, have a walk along the riverside, or simply float in the pool with the sun on your face.
As dusk falls, candles flicker and voices soften. Around the fire, stories are shared. Not to impress, but to connect. You feel your whole self sigh with relief. You’re home—in your body, your heart, and in the presence of other souls who feel the same. And then you dance, sing, make music or walk under the stars, as one, as several.
Flowing Exchange – Each woman can share what resonates with her during the co-creative activities. It might be reflection, practice, storytelling, wisdom, creative expression —whatever arises naturally.
Spontaneous Encounters – Space is left for what cannot be planned. The unexpected conversations, the profound moments of recognition, the feeling that this was always meant to happen.
Integration & Reflection – Through journaling, nature, and quiet moments, we allow insights to settle, knowing that what we share ripples far beyond the retreat itself.
Opening and Closing Circle – A beginning to ease you into the experience and set intentions. A final gathering to honor the journey, the wisdom exchanged, and the unseen forces that brought us together.
This retreat is an invitation. A calling. A moment in time where the right souls meet, share, and transform together. No fixed structure, no hierarchy—just a circle of women, co-creating something powerful, rare, and deeply aligned.
A special moment in time
This September retreat happens during a powerful celestial window, just before the solar eclipse on September 21 — a potent time for new beginnings, regarding work, attention to details, fitness, health, and daily routines.
You may feel :
a need to let go, forgive, cleanse, and release
a want to follow innovative, unusual, and inventive ideas
challenged regarding to responsabilities to others, your spiritual or your mental health
and a strong determination to start anew.
Compassion, and finding beauty in imperfection, is the path to balance. We will weave this energy into the retreat gently, with optional practices and time for rest, reflection, and visioning.
Symbolically, we have chosen to open 9 spots for this gathering, seeding the intent of completing a cycle before the new beginnings to come in your life.
We will also offer a supportive container in the months leading to the retreat, where, following the natural year cycles and astrological influences, we will drop suggestions, reflections, practices, building this experience with you …
What’s waiting for you :
✅ Soulful movement and time in nature to ground and reconnect
✅ Sharing wisdom and intuition through circles and gentle practices
✅ Restorative plant based meals, and time to just be
✅ Soft and beautiful evenings together under the stars and near the fire
✅ Room to speak your truth… and to be silent
✅ Being held, and holding others in our truths
We won’t rush. We won’t try to fix or perform. You get to be you,.
Feel into it…
Does something in you already whisper “yes”?
Have you been holding too much for too long?
Do you crave spaciousness, connection, a place that feel like home?
Do you feel like a time of change has come in your life?
Come alone and leave with soul sisters.
Come weary and leave with your light rekindled, firmly grounded and reconnected to your inner power and your full self.
Come lost and confused and leave with a sense of purpose and joy.
Come curious and leave changed...
Meet your hosts
I love creating spaces where people can return to themselves—gently, fully, and without pressure. Whether it's through a retreat, a workshop, a quiet conversation in the garden, or an ecstatic dance under the stars, I’m always weaving together the energy of the soul and the wisdom of the natural world.
I’m a soul path and energy coach, and I’ve always been drawn to the subtle, unseen threads that connect us—to each other, to the earth, and to something greater. Plants, crystals, essential oils… they’ve taught me so much about intuition, truth, and alignment. And that’s what I offer in my work: deep alignment, grounded presence, and gentle guidance back to your own truth.
At the retreat, I’ll be holding a space where transformation can unfold safely and naturally—a space where you can soften into your being, reconnect with your essence, and realign with the path that already lives within you.
Aloha,
Celine Thompson
I love bringing people together in spaces where everyone’s voice matters. Whether it's a circle of coaches, a co-creative workshop, or a vision board session, I guide group experiences that help us connect more deeply—with ourselves and with each other.
My work is rooted in Human Design, which I use as a compass to help people recognize and trust their own inner guidance. I’m not here to give answers—I’m here to hold space for insights to emerge naturally, through conversation, reflection, and shared wisdom.
At the retreat, I’ll be gently holding the group energy—nurturing connection, sparking dialogue, and supporting each person to bring their unique light to the circle. I believe that when we gather with intention and openness, something truly powerful can unfold.
With love,
Kerstin Wilson
“Together, we felt called to create a retreat that reflects how we both hold space: rooted in presence, open to all that wants to emerge, with a soul nourishing and magical atmosphere.”
This project was born from a shared longing—for spaces where people can simply be, where our truths are welcomed, and where the path forward doesn't come from being told what to do, but from discovering it together.
We came together not with a fixed plan, but with a shared vision: to create a space that’s alive. A space where transformation doesn’t follow a straight line, but flows with the rhythm of each person’s experience. Where silence is honored, wisdom is shared, and everyone’s presence contributes to what unfolds.
What we’re building is not a traditional retreat. It’s a living circle. A place of unfolding. Of remembering. Of reconnecting with what truly matters.
Co-creation is not just a method—it’s the essence of this experience. Because we believe that true transformation happens not to us, but through us, when we’re witnessed, supported, and invited to participate in something bigger than ourselves. This retreat isn’t about teaching you something new. It’s about creating the conditions where your own knowing can rise to the surface—and be celebrated.
Not Just a Retreat—A Co-Creation
This isn’t a retreat where you’ll be led every step of the way. This is a gathering of equals, of intuitive and wise women walking different paths and coming together to co-create something rare and real.
Some activities will be guided: movement, sharing circles, intuitive practices, rituals by fire or water. But space is left intentionally open—for what wants to emerge. Maybe you’ll share a song. Maybe you’ll suggest a spontaneous forest walk or lead a tea ritual.
Or maybe your presence will be your gift.
You are not expected to be anything but yourself. And still, you’ll be part of the unfolding.
We are not here to fix or perform. We are here to remember, express, nourish, and be witnessed.
The World Needs Your Magic ...
Are you ready to unfold?

Plant-Based, Lovingly Prepared, Deeply Nourishing
For us, food is energy, presence, and connection. All meals are plant-based, prepared using seasonal ingredients and herbs from the garden or from the local area and are as fresh and full of energy as possible. You’ll taste what was gathered that morning, feel the added energy of intention, cooking and spices, and sense the vibrancy behind every bite.
We chose plant-based food for this retreat not because of vegan ethics, but because of our deep love for the plant world with its infinite colours, flavours and textures, and to help the retreat be as inclusive as possible, accomodating to all kinds of food preferences and sensitivities.
Some meals will be prepared for you. Others may be co-created—simple acts of chopping, stirring, or adding a special touch becoming part of the day’s ritual. You’ll never be required to cook, but space is held for those who find joy in contributing to the table, whether through an ingredient, a food, or a recipe close to your heart.
We’ll eat outside when the weather allows—beneath trees or under stars—and gather around tables in the warmth of the house when it doesn’t. Each meal will be an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and feel at home—in your body, in nature, in each other’s presence.
A Place That Holds You
La Grange aux Moines is not just a location—it’s part of the retreat itself.
This 17th-century stone house rests gently in the Loire Valley, known as the Garden of France, nestled between two rivers, with this feeling that you have arrived to the end of the world. With wide skies, ancient trees, a permaculture garden, and a pool glimmering under the sun, this place invites you to exhale deeply and soak in the peaceful and timeless atmosphere.
You'll sleep in soft, soulful rooms with names like Light, Serenity, and Gold Leaf—each with its own bathroom and unique decoration. Whether you choose a shared or private room, peace wraps around you like a blanket. Outdoors or inside, countless cozy corners await to retreat into stillness or sisterhood.
We’ll eat together at long wooden tables or outside in the garden, enjoying plant-based meals infused with herbs from the garden and cooked with care and love.
You don’t need to change. You just need space to unfold.
Come as you are - leave as Yourself!
This retreat isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about peeling back the layers, finding clarity, and reconnecting with the version of you that’s been waiting to breathe more deeply. We’ll walk together, not in the same footsteps, but in shared rhythm.
Let’s unfold, together.

Q: How do I get there?
A: La Grange aux Moines is located in Berthenay, near Tours in the Loire Valley.The closest train station is Tours or St Pierre des Corps, easily accessible from Paris (about 1 hour by TGV). From there, we can help organize a short taxi ride or carpool to the house. Driving is also easy—we’re about 2,5 hours from Paris by car. The local airport in Tours has regular planes if you come from Porto, London Stanstead, Marrakech, or Marseille.

Q: What if I’m nervous about joining a group of women I don’t know?
A: You’re not alone in feeling that. This retreat is designed specifically to be safe, gentle, and welcoming for sensitive souls and quiet ones. The group is kept small, so as to not overwhelm. There’s no pressure to share, perform, or be anything other than who you are. Most participants arrive not knowing each other, and by the end, feel deeply connected in a real and nourishing way. Introverts, empaths, and deep-feelers are very welcome here.
Q: Can I come if I’m not spiritual / intuitive / experienced with energy work?
A: Yes. You don’t need to “believe” in anything or have done this kind of work before. You just need to feel called by the idea of reconnecting with yourself and being in honest, kind company. All practices are gentle and offered with full freedom. There are no right ways—only your way. We simply ask that you feel deeply that this is for you.

Like wildflowers, we don’t bloom on command- we bloom when the conditions are kind.
