Your Retreat Welcome Guide
The Gift of Light: Finding Calm, Connection & Presence
Manoir Caché, Brittany
We’re so happy you’ll be joining us for this restorative winter retreat.
Below you’ll find everything you need to prepare, arrive with ease, and make the most of your stay at the manor.
What to Bring & How to Prepare:
Our weekend begins with cacao and somatic movement, so please pack with warmth and comfort in mind — it’s December in Brittany, and the air is crisp and beautiful.
Here’s a simple guide:
For movement & workshops:
Comfortable, loose-fitting clothes you can move and stretch in
Warm layers (leggings, cozy sweater, thick socks — the manor floors can be cool)
A scarf or wrap for relaxation moments
Optional: slippers or indoor shoes
For dinner:
Something you love to wear — relaxed yet a touch special, as we’ll share a beautiful evening together.
Think: a soft knit dress, a flowing midi dress, or something with a hint of sparkle that makes you feel radiant. ✨
For Sunday breakfast:
Casual and cozy (warm layers, easy to lounge in)
Other essentials:
Journal and pen ✍️
Reusable water bottle
Warm coat, hat, and scarf for walks on the grounds
Any personal toiletries or medications
A childhood photo of yourself — we’ll use it during one of our reflection exercises
Optional: anything that helps you feel grounded (favorite tea, essential oil, etc.)
💫 All art materials and supplies are provided.
