February–March–April 2026

Félines Minervois and Olargues (Hérault)

Upcoming theme

Last year’s theme was Desire. Desire is part of the fabric of our daily experience. Whether conscious or unconscious, it is the cause of many thoughts, intentions, and ultimately actions. Knowing our desires, having the wisdom to distinguish between those that are good to nurture and those that we should stop feeding, and how to do so, is the subject of our One-Day Retreats in 2025.

Dharma Nature’s One-Day Retreats establish and consolidate our meditation practice.
For those of you who are new to meditation, this is an opportunity to receive a solid, non-dogmatic introduction. And for those of you who already have a regular practice, these retreats are designed to take your practice and understanding to a deeper level.
We will not limit ourselves to meditation alone; during our retreats, we will also explore why, and above all how, to integrate these practices and insights into our daily lives, thanks to specific intentions that will be suggested to you after each retreat.
In addition, recordings will allow you to practise at home as well.

Testimonial

A day of retreat is always an opportunity for me to take a break, to pause, to return to myself in a deeper and more intense way than in my daily meditations. Read more

. It is also an opportunity to nourish my mind with the teachings I hear, to connect with a group with whom I share a common quest for self-knowledge. Each time, it reminds me a little more strongly why it is worth giving myself these spaces as often as possible. It restores meaning, if I sometimes lose sight of it, to the gift of meditation, which is available, accessible and precious. Sabrina

I see these days as a real gift! Read more

I see these days as a real gift! It’s a bubble I give myself in a world that unsettles me, a soothing silence, teachings that take me far away and yet so close to myself… it’s a valuable support in my daily meditation practice. Gratitude! Fabienne

It is a real pleasure to walk alongside you; you enrich us with your research and your long experience. Read more

It is a real pleasure to walk alongside you. You nourish us with your research and your long experience. I am very grateful to you.
I find these one-day retreats to be a great moment of inner peace that I experience fully throughout the day.
I come out of them stronger, filled with positive energy and with the joy of going to unexplored places in my consciousness!

This first day of retreat allowed me to reconnect with my practice, which has become a daily routine after many months of interruption. Read more

This first day of retreat allowed me to reconnect with my practice, which has become a daily routine after many months of interruption. It does me a world of good and helps me enormously to temper the incessant flow of my thoughts and my slightly hyperactive side! For almost two weeks now, I have noticed that I am much calmer and I delight in simply contemplating the nature that surrounds me.
A feeling of lightness is gradually setting in, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping to make this happen.
