Life Beyond the Room Curated Group Trip
France: Révérence
6 Days
Rejuvenate your spirit in the elements and wisdom of ancient land. Visit the healing waters of the River Tarn and then celebrate the bountiful harvest season with a trip to wine country.
Our accommodation, Almieres Retreat, is an ancient sheep farm which has been lovingly restored with utmost respect for the environment to combine comfort and simplicity in the midst of nature. Located in a national park with a breathtaking view over the mountains, gorge, and river, each morning you’ll wake up in a spacious sunlit room where a large part of the space has been dedicated to a beautiful bathroom with a bathtub – a place for self care. Everything in the luxurious room is made locally and intentionally designed. Here you’ll be in full retreat mode with morning and evening yoga & meditation practices guided by Christine Provine, sound healing, nordic baths, sauna, massage, and beautifully nourishing cuisine. You’ll have opportunities to go on a herbal foraging hike, a private boat trip down the river, and enjoy the extensive land around Almieres.
Wake each morning with yoga, meditation, and an elaborate breakfast made from locally sourced foods and harvests from the garden. Each day we’ll acknowledge the gifts provided by the land and people we visit, giving reverence to the healing nourishing gifts of our beloved planet.

Athena Corcoran-Tadd
Athena spent four years living in the City of Lights leading guided tours around the city (on foot and by bicycle), up the Eiffel Tower, offering food, wine and cheese tours, as well as taking guests on walking and biking tours of Versailles. In doing so she delved deeper into her love of how storytelling brings a place to life, and expanded her knowledge of French history, language, food and wine culture. She spent two consecutive harvest seasons working on a vineyard in the Beaujolais region getting to know the process (and the effort!) of good wine-making and developing her French wine palate.
