PRESENCE
Île de Ré, France
3-5 JAN, 2025
ISLE OF RÉ, SOUTHWEST FRANCE
Sur les rivages sauvages de l’Île de Ré, où les vagues de l’océan nous embrassent, nous vous invitons à entrer en Présence — un refuge sacré dédié à l’art de revenir à soi.
On the wild shores of the Isle of Ré, where the ocean's waves embrace us, we invite you to enter into Presence—a sacred refuge dedicated to the art of returning to oneself.
The Experience
Ici, entourés par la beauté indomptée de la mer et le doux murmure des brises marines, nous entreprendrons un voyage de purification, laissant les rythmes de l’île nous guider vers l’intérieur. Chaque jour, à travers une respiration profonde et transformative et un yoga incarné, nous dissoudrons les couches qui ne nous servent plus.
Here, surrounded by the untamed beauty of the sea and the gentle whisper of the sea breezes, we will embark on a journey of purification, allowing the rhythms of the island to guide us inward. Each day, through deep and transformative breathing and embodied yoga, we will dissolve the layers that no longer serve us.
You are invited to simply be.
Nous accueillons chaque souffle comme un nouveau départ, chaque mouvement comme une étape vers la clarté. Par des pratiques qui purifient le corps et l’esprit, nous honorons la puissance du silence et la beauté de la simplicité, nous ancrant dans la terre sous nos pieds et éveillant notre connexion à la vie tout autour.
We welcome each breath as a new beginning, each movement as a step toward clarity. Through practices that purify the body and mind, we honor the power of silence and the beauty of simplicity, grounding ourselves in the earth beneath our feet and awakening our connection to the life all around us.

My intention is to create a safe and intimate space.
I'm not your typical yoga teacher, or at least I don't believe that I am. It's not just about Yoga, it's a way of living that I guide through an extension of my practice, beliefs and experiences.
Connection and love are the values I implement in each of my retreats. It is about embodying your truth, living each experience with more intensity and consciousness. A dance between you and your heart while being held in sacredness.
To give you an idea, here are testimonials from beloved students and participants:
"The retreat with Luna was exactly what my heart needed . My energy was stuck and I did not manage to shift this on my own. Today, weeks after the retreat, I still reap the benefits of my healing time in Portugal. Luna is a wonderful, understanding and compassionate soul full of light and bubbly energy. She created the right atmosphere for all of us to grow and blossom . I can only recommend this to everyone and will definitely give this as a present to myself again." - Florence, Belgium
"I have first met Luna online, and had the chance to join the Spacious Self Retreat in Portugal. It will always have a special place in my heart, as she created a safe and magical space that was, in one way or another, transformative for each one of us. Every time I join one of Luna's class or event, online or live, I learn so much and come back with new perspectives to explore. Don't expect her Yoga to be just about the asanas, it is so much more than that ! It's a guided dance through senses and emotions, infused with a lot of wisdom.
She simply made me fall in love with Yoga, and for that I am forever grateful. Merci Mamma Luna, you and your wide, wide heart." - Bénédicte, France
