The
Gathering
Retreat

Grasse, South of France 15โ€“18 October 2026 10 women only
The Intention

Not an escape.
A remembering.

You can feel something inside you. A desire, a pull, a quiet knowing you don't have words for yet. Deep down, you don't want to be an observer of your life. You want to lead it.

This is not about going somewhere to escape. It is about creating spaciousness within yourself so that your true self can come forward. Gently. Simply. Without force.

We don't travel here to leave our lives behind. We come to remember who we are, so we return knowing.

"There is no disconnection between the mind and the body. There is only forgetting, and then remembering."

โ€” Cecilia

The Place

A bastide in the hills
above Grasse.

Surrounded by olive trees, cypress, and open sky. A place that already knows how to slow you down.

The terraces, the light, the air โ€” they do something before anything even begins. This is not a backdrop. It is part of the work.

The Programme

Three days.
Fluid, but held.

Each day has a rhythm. A morning to ground and activate, spaciousness to simply be, and an afternoon to go inward. Free time is not empty time โ€” it is essential.

Cecilia
Your Guide

Cecilia.

I am an accredited identity and mindset coach, with more than a decade of experience in movement and five years teaching yoga. The Gathering is an extension of the work I do with my clients โ€” held together, in a space that does its own work on you.

I believe there is no disconnection between the mind and the body. There is only forgetting. My work โ€” through somatic practice, movement and deep coaching โ€” is a remembering. Not a fixing. A returning to what was always true.

My own story has many layers. I look forward to sharing them with you around the table, on the terrace, in the circle. And I look forward to listening to yours.

"When your whole body says yes, that is where we begin."
