Joie de Vivre

What to Expect

A pause on the shores of the South of France.

Our Hyères Retreat is a gentle reset — an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and return to yourself through embodied practices, Mediterranean light, and the quiet pleasure of simply being. Joie de vivre means a deep, embodied joy in being alive, the art of savoring life’s simple pleasures.

During the week, we’ll take a pilgrimage walk in Sainte-Baume — to the sacred grotto traditionally linked to Mary Magdalene. A steady, accessible hike. A moment of quiet devotion. Led by Eva Estlander and Julia Hackzell.

❋ Pleasure in Practice

We balance guided sessions, intuitive flow, and joyful connection—so the experience feels both grounded and expansive.

❋ Magdalene Circle

From our Magdalene pilgrimage to rosé in the vines, this experience is shaped by connection, conversation, and collective joy.

❋ Expert Facilitation

Led by experienced guides Eva Estlander and Julia Hackzell, who know how to hold space, encourage participation, and keep things moving with purpose.

❋ Joie de Vivre

A warm, welcoming space—so you can arrive as you are and fully enjoy the experience.

Reconnect with your body and mind through yoga, lavender fields, sunlit vineyards, and the ease of a Southern French summer.
