I haven’t been on the retreat but all of this resonates ! It feels like the very discussions we have at the table among friends (our extended families). And it’s always illuminating.

HI Ajiri, I hope your day is wonderful! I so enjoy reading your posts and especially love the picuters that conjure up these dreamy retreats you so lovingly create. Which retreat do you have the open spot for--Gordes or the other? One works with my schedule, but the other doesn't; I'm so sorry if I missed which retreat you specified--it all seems very dreamy, and I think the impromptu often delivers an even more delicious experience! Thank you. Best, Margeau

Bonjour!! I loved reading this note on as you look back on this retreat. Finding Joy through life's transformations is so necessary for the soul. Your retreats sound like a moment to reclaim that Joy! It is my desire to one day find myself on one of your retreats. Just thinking about slowing down in such an exquisite place fills me with joyous creativity.
