A Retreat for Women going Forward after Fifty

A personal development workshop in the surroundings of Provence. Partly holiday with a whole lot focusing on you & how you can help yourself to make small changes in your life to go forward after fifty.

I believe that some of the best changes you can make for yourself, happen when you’re away from your home environment. That creating a certain distance from your ‘everyday life’ gives you the opportunity to be objective and selective about what to truly focus on; it allows you to reorganise or rediscover where exactly you want and – more importantly – deserve to be. And where better to do that, but here in Provence! Where natural beauty is abundant and the clarity of light catches your breath.

These coaching sessions, delivered in a friendly and welcoming workshop setting, will speak to you in such a way that you will return home with a renewed energy and focus that contributes not only to your everyday life but to your future self.

my-self

I have worked in the travel industry for more than 30 years, leading groups on vacation in many areas of the world, including here in Provence, a place I now call home. I’ve been living my dream, under blue skies amongst the olive trees, poppies and lavender for the most part of the last 20 years!

Having worked as a Life Coach for the last three years, which has included working through this group Personal development program for myself and subsequently delivering it to small groups here, I’m now excited to share four out of the eighteen coaching workshops with you, all while enjoying this spectacular part of the world.

Small Groups

This program is for small groups, ideally limited to 8 participants. Together we will explore each topic in a fun and pro-active way, with worksheets to take away provided. And depending on the weather – which most often is wonderful – we will have the opportunity to work outdoors to truly experience the Provençal lifestyle.

Accommodation

Holding these coaching sessions in an environment that reflects the best of the Provençal countryside, as well as being the perfect convivial place for personal development and forging friendships, is why I chose Domaine Saint Jean.

Domaine Saint Jean is an authentic Provencal home offering comfortable accommodation in scenic countryside. Thea & Eric have been welcoming holidaymakers for many years and if you feel like extending your time here, it is an ideal location to discover the best of Provence, on and off the tourist track, or perhaps by the pool side if that’s your idea of a heavenly holiday!

It's all here, nestled between Saint Saturnin d'Apt and Gargas.
