A la Carte retreat

I was lucky enough to find a place that suited my needs. When I arrived, I immediately loved the house. A fire was lit and everything had been carefully designed with the well-being of the occupants and respect for the environment in mind. The setting exceeded my expectations. The house is located in a small village where birds and the river provide the background soundtrack. The view from the terrace is magnificent. There are also beautiful walks starting directly from the house. I benefited greatly from Denis’s advice and attention to my meditation practice, which helped me a lot.

Thanks to Denis and Lydia for their hospitality.

What a beautiful place, what lovely people, what delicious food prepared by Lydia, what wonderful teachings from Denis. Our individual experiences with meditation varied greatly, with some having virtually no experience and others having years of practice. However, this did not matter in view of the amount of inspiration, connection and joy it brought to all of us, both during the last stay and this time. It was really nice to be able to dive deeper into the practice during this second stay, which created even more curiosity and wonder. Thanks to the comfort of the lodge, the care and attention of the owners Denis and Lydia, and the vast panorama of nature that surrounds it, my stay in Vieussan was unforgettable. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Coline’s testimonial:

And so we found ourselves at Denis and Lydia’s house for a tailor-made three-day introduction to meditation shared with the family (Marie-Jo & Pierre the grandparents, Léa & Laurent, Coline & Anthony, the daughters and sons-in-law, and Jean & Aria, the grandchildren, aged just 19 and 20 months) with excellent vegetarian meals prepared by Lydia (thank you). In the morning, we would meet for meditation followed by discussions, and also in the evening once the little ones were in bed so that everyone could be present.

I am so happy to have shared these precious moments with the people I love. Beyond the wonderful tool that is meditation, it is the

I would like to highlight the quality of Denis’ teaching. He conveys his passion with such accuracy and simplicity. Discussions and listening that touch the heart of the matter, getting straight to the point! The whole family was delighted and everyone left with their own little toolbox. A big thank you. Coline
