DO YOU FEEL LIKE:

  • Your life is out of kilter or unbalanced?

  • You are overworked and stressed?

  • You’re defined by what’s happening to you and burdened by the past?

  • Your feel lonely and missing social connections as maybe your children have moved out and the family dynamics have changed.

  • Or perhaps your focus on work is intense and you need some time out?

  • You might be going through a big life change and don’t have a network to share or know how to find to tools or have the experience to kickstart the change.

WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IS

  • Balance, calm, peace, and harmony in your daily routine,

  • A new sense of purpose and to choose your own path,

  • A clear vision of your values and how to incorporate them into your life,

  • To feel joy and gratefulness for simple pleasures,

  • To learn new habits and routines to live your life with purpose and intention.

Do you remember your childhood dreams and how you once felt immense joy at the possibilities for your life?

Dreams of excitement, love, passion, creativity, and meaning? They lit you up from the inside out.

That’s what we help you reclaim – your inner light, sparkle, and passion for life.

An extraordinary journey of self-discovery

French Village House, Escape the Everyday French Wellness Retreat

Pure Heart Wellness Retreats are an extraordinary journey of self-discovery, unlike anything you will experience in a ‘normal’ yoga retreat setting.

The rituals and practice of yoga aren’t only suited to those who love an alternate lifestyle, travelling to isolated locations, or rejecting a more traditional way of living.

Rather, the ethos of yoga is in perfect harmony with l’art de Vivre à la Française (the French art of living).

Set in the beautiful French village of Beugnon-Thireuil, Pure Heart Wellness Retreats are a wonderful immersion into the slow-paced French lifestyle and focus on enjoying the best moments in life.

Surrender your heart to the beauty of France and learn their practice of elevating simple, everyday routines into something pleasurable and full of meaning.

It’s all about living in the present moment.

At Pure Heart Wellness retreats, we combine yoga practice, meditation, and self-care with the French art of living life to the fullest.

We teach you ways of making small, purposeful changes so you can relax, reconnect, and rejuvenate your body, mind, and spirit.

You’ll be able to live your best life and have fun, your way, even after you return home.

The Joy of Being (être)

Open your heart and mind to the endless possibilities of a new life of meaning, passion, and joie de vivre (joy of life).

The French are connoisseurs of life.
They live in the moment.


French women inherently know how “to be” (“elle sait être” she knows how to be).

They know how to be themselves, how to practice self-care, set boundaries, and enjoy a positive, confident outlook on life.

Many non-French women struggle to make the same choices. We eventually find ourselves existing on a treadmill of responsibilities while walking a path we didn’t choose but drifted onto. It can make us feel unfulfilled, exhausted, and like we’re wasting our lives.

We become lost with no understanding of how ‘to be’…

Pure Heart Wellness Retreats teach you how to live again!

“Maria is an exceptional person. She moves easily and gently through life with warmth, humour, kindness, and generosity.

She always made me feel so welcome and comfortable, plus she has had me in stitches laughing at her many funny stories.

Going on the French Wellness Retreat was an authentic immersion experience into Maria's gorgeous French life, the local community, and their gentle pace of life. It was an incredibly personal life journey, and it felt like being embraced in a soft, warm hug.

Her Farmhouse is gloriously French and beautifully decorated.

Coming home, I felt joyous, empowered, and centred, and that my creativity had been sparked. It's an experience I thoroughly recommend to every woman wanting to redirect her life and live with purpose.”
