Personalised Retreat

( the feeling of it )

A house from 1791 in a village of a hundred and thirty people, with thermal water running under its own well.

( the story )

A green-shuttered 1791 house in a 130-person Audoise village, holding four private spaces and two retreat pathways — wellbeing, and energy-medicine healing.

Maison ila is a maison de maître built in 1791, green-shuttered, standing on the church square of Sonnac-sur-l'Hers — a village of a hundred and thirty people in the Pyrénées Audoises, between Carcassonne and Toulouse. There are only four private spaces: a two-bedroom cottage and three one-bedroom apartments, with Egyptian cotton linens, Himalayan salts and a hot tub shared in the garden. Sacred thermal waters run beneath the well. Retreats follow one of two pathways — Bien-Être, built on yoga, wild movement, sound healing and intuitive treatments; or Matri Healing, working with energy medicine, bio-electric therapies, plant protocols, light frequencies and sacred ritual. Stays are full board, organic, and cooked with obvious care.

( field notes, dawn to night )

A day here

morning

Wild movement in the garden before the village has quite decided to wake up.

midday

Organic food, full board, cooked by someone who has clearly thought about you eating it.

afternoon

Treatment — sound, energy work, or something you can't name afterwards.

evening

The hot tub under the Aude sky, and a village so quiet you hear the shutters.
