Embrace the Feminine
This retreat is about embracing yourself. Taking the time to do things that make you feel amazing, alive, and happy. That may mean you give yourself permission to eat bread, desserts, and sip on wine and not feel guilty. OR taking time to slow and notice the beauty around you. Our retreat community of women is truly a supportive sisterhood, and we're excited to share this experience with you all!
What to expect on this retreat....
Emily and Mel have curated a luxury and cultural experience each day, embracing the culture of Paris. Plans like attending the opera at Opera Garnier, to a Michelin star meal, to touring the Dior museum viewing couture designs over the past 20 years, and of course eating and trying some of the best local cafes. Emily and Mel want each woman to feel inspired and in awe of parts of Paris you wouldn't normally experience as a tourist visiting paris.
We have chosen a beautiful, Parisian, historical accommodation for the group to optionally choose to stay located at Hotel Alfred Sommier. You are welcome to book any accommodation of your choice -- we have suggestions, Don't worry!
Each morning we will have a light yoga class, journaling, and meditation followed by a typical Parisian break fast --- croissants, of course! After our morning gathering, we have put together a daily itinerary for our group to experience.
Accommodations.....
