Christina Perez-Rougerie

Christina’s work is rooted in one truth:
your light is never gone — it just needs space to return.

After moving from the U.S. to France, she experienced a profound shift in identity. Everything familiar dissolved, and the silence forced her inward. What felt like disorientation became the beginning of a deeper awakening.

Through creativity, movement, and daily rituals, she rebuilt herself from the inside out — not by striving, but by listening. She learned how to reconnect with her own energy, trust her intuition, and step into a version of herself that was clearer, braver, and more aligned than ever before.

Now, she creates spaces where women can experience that same reawakening.
Her retreats are both grounding and energizing — designed to help you shed winter heaviness, reconnect with your inner rhythm, and return to your own light with clarity, purpose, and strength.

Christina leads with beauty, intention, and a deep belief that when a woman comes back to herself, her whole life changes.

Leila Bodros

For almost twenty years, Leila has helped people reconnect with the strength, clarity, and direction that rise when we finally pause long enough to hear ourselves again.

A certified coach and facilitator, she’s supported leaders, creatives, and women in transition through moments of uncertainty and renewal. Her approach is clear, grounded, and deeply intuitive—rooted in presence, deep listening, and the belief that clarity is something we awaken, not something we chase.

During the retreat, Leila leads the Co-Development Circle—a warm, honest, forward-moving space where insight becomes momentum and conversation becomes illumination. She guides women to see their own wisdom more clearly, to understand what’s rising within them, and to step into their next chapter with confidence and intention.

Steady, compassionate, and razor-aware, Leila doesn’t just help you find calm—she helps you return to your inner compass and walk toward the light that’s been waiting for you.

Returning to Light

Imagine arriving at a quiet 19th-century Breton manor, surrounded by winter’s stillness — the kind of calm you can actually breathe in.

You exhale, maybe for the first time in months. Your shoulders drop. Your mind softens.

Inside, warm light, gentle music, and a circle of women just like you are waiting — each here with one intention:
to return to themselves.

This is not a retreat about pushing or fixing.
This is a day of inner illumination — clearing the heaviness of winter, reconnecting with your body, and reclaiming the clarity that has been buried under daily life.

By the time the sun sets, your light is no longer dim.
It’s awake.

You will leave this retreat:

• Calm and reset instead of tense and overstretched
• Clear-minded about what you want for the next season
• Emotionally lighter, with space inside again
• Grounded and centered instead of scattered
• Reconnected to your creativity
• More present in your body and your life
• Glowing, because your nervous system finally gets to breathe

This retreat is designed as a winter reawakening — a turning point between who you were at the end of last year and the woman you are becoming in 2026.

Pathways Back to Your Light…

 
 

Come Home to Yourself

Reconnect with the light returning within you
Through heart-opening cacao and grounding somatic movement, you’ll soften the static of winter and tune back into your inner rhythm.
This is where your body finally exhales.
This is where clarity begins to rise again.

You’ll leave feeling steady, centered, and attuned to yourself — ready to move forward with more presence, intuition, and lightness.

Awaken Creativity

Let color, flow, and intuition re-ignite your inner spark
Through intuitive painting and design-inspired exercises, you’ll reconnect with creativity as a pathway back to vitality and inspiration.

This is not about skill or perfection — it’s about expression.
Color, texture, movement, play.
A soft return to joy after the heaviness of winter.

Here, your creativity wakes up.
Your ideas stretch again.
Your inner light starts to move.

Reclaim Connection

Be supported, witnessed, and uplifted by women rising with you
ou are not meant to navigate life alone.
We heal and awaken faster in connection.

Through shared meals, meaningful conversations, and Leila’s guided co-development circle, you’ll find clarity, courage, and a sense of belonging that lingers long after the retreat ends.

This is where your heart opens again.
Where you feel understood.
Where the light inside you feels amplified by the presence of others.

Leave with greater clarity, emotional warmth, and a renewed sense of connection — to yourself, to others, and to the light that’s returning within you.

 
 
 

Brittany France

Manoir Caché

Tucked away in the gentle countryside of Brittany, Manoir Caché is a serene haven where time slows and creativity flows. This 19th-century stone manor, lovingly restored with timeless French charm, offers the perfect blend of elegance and ease.

Surrounded by lush gardens, ancient trees, and the quiet hum of nature, the manoir feels like a world of its own—a place where beauty lives in every detail.

Inside, soft light dances across antique furnishings, textured linens, and thoughtfully curated spaces designed for comfort and inspiration. Step outside, and you’ll find hidden corners for reflection, shared laughter under the trees, and meals enjoyed al fresco beneath the Breton sky.

A true sanctuary for design lovers and seekers of stillness alike, Manoir Caché invites you to exhale, reconnect, and remember the simple joy of being present.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • For anyone feeling stretched thin, seeking calm before the holidays, and ready to reconnect with themselves.
    It’s for women who nurture others and now need space to rest, reflect, and renew their own light.

It promotes vagal tone (parasympathetic activation), which calms “fight-or-flight” stress responses, lowers heart rate, and supports digestion and immune balance. It also helps release held tension, improves body awareness (interoception), and increases resilience to emotional stress.

  • It is soulful and grounding but not tied to any religion.

  • Comfortable clothes you can move and paint in for the creative and movement sessions, and something a little dressier or flowing for Saturday evening’s dinner. Bring a journal, any small personal comforts you enjoy, and an open heart. All art supplies and materials are provided.

  • Cacao gently opens the heart, enhances mood, and deepens connection—to yourself and to others. It helps quiet the mind and invite gratitude, presence, and emotional clarity. Physically, it’s rich in magnesium, antioxidants, and theobromine, which support circulation, focus, and overall well-being.

  • Yes, you can add it after your booking via your confirmation page.
