Move Dance Feel Retreat

10 - 17 September 2025
Puissentut, Toulouse, Southern France
7 days of movement, connection and rest

Retreat yourself in a ‘heaven on earth’ medieval chateau surrounded by rolling hills and sunshine.

This very special Move Dance Feel Retreat offers a whole-body, whole-hearted experience. Mornings begin with gentle, uplifting movement – including dance and yoga – while afternoons are yours to enjoy at your own pace: relax by the pool, find local walks, or join some extra nurturing sessions. 

Expect delicious home-cooked food, wonderful female company, and plenty of space to rest, reflect and reconnect – all in the tranquil surroundings of Puissentut, a beautifully restored chateau in South-West France.

Additional connecting, restorative and artistic activities are gently woven through the week, offered on some afternoons and evenings, creating a rich and memorable experience.
