**RETREAT FACILITATED IN FRENCH**
What if, in order to truly blossom, we first needed to feel grounded, solid, and secure?
For 4 days, in a beautiful natural setting, we invite you to slow down and meet yourself, supported by the strength of the collective and the richness of sisterhood.
A time to reconnect with your inner resources, explore the parts of yourself that seek to protect you, acknowledge the loyalties and family legacies that shape you, as well as your boundaries, your need for security, and your zest for life.
What protects you today? What sometimes holds you back? And what is longing to emerge or take on a new role?
This retreat is an invitation to discover yourself in a new way, by engaging your rational mind as well as your emotions, intuition, and body intelligence.
To ensure a safe and suitable environment for everyone, all registration requests begin with a confidential interest form. Some of the practices offered may tap into deep psychological content or induce altered states of consciousness. A preliminary conversation with Catherine, our clinical psychologist, will allow us to determine together if the retreat and the approaches used are appropriate for your current situation.
Filling out the form does not constitute a final registration and does not commit you to anything.

Elsa Keraudren — Yoga Teacher & Founder of YOGAZAZ
A passionate yoga teacher, Elsa offers a variety of approaches, from dynamic Vinyasa to Yin and restorative yoga, with a special focus on breath, bodily sensations, and mindfulness.
For several years, she has also been supporting women through the various stages of their lives, including pregnancy, the postpartum period, and the transition to menopause, thanks to her specialized training in pre/postnatal yoga and yoga for menopause.
Her teaching encourages developing a more conscious and compassionate relationship with your body, recognizing your needs and limits, and cultivating your inner resources.
During the retreat, her practices will support the psychological exploration by turning the body into a space for listening, grounding, and integration.
Catherine Dutordoir — Clinical Psychologist & founder ofAuthentika
A clinical psychologist with a degree from ULB, Catherine offers a holistic therapeutic approach that integrates the psychological, emotional, physical, and relational dimensions of the human being.
Her work draws on various complementary approaches: analysis and understanding of family and transgenerational dynamics, family and systemic constellations, hypnosis, dynamic sophrology, and symbolic exploration inspired in particular by Jungian psychology.
Deeply attuned to the power of community and sisterhood, Catherine supports women through individual consultations, circles, workshops, and retreats.
Her approach aims to explore the different parts of the self, better understand one's protective mechanisms, and bring new resources to light, all while respecting each individual's personal history and pace.
