I wanted to draw your attention to three retreats I am teaching in, before the end of this year, all in Provence, all at the Maison de Sens, a beautiful provençal farm house near Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. The first one, Jeûne & Quête de Sens is coming up September 12-16. Then, it will be Coaching & Naturopathie October 12-16, with a focus on stress, sleep and immunity. Lastly, December 10-13 is a short and sweet Yoga & Jeune Detox.

“Just take a deep breath…” (or three). Maybe you’ve received this advice from a well-meaning friend, teacher, or therapist, when you felt anxious.

You Won't Change. Here's Why.
Have you been wanting to change something about you, your mindset or lifestyle, for what seems like forever? Deep inside you know that in order to take your health and happiness to the next level you need to cut back on late-night TV, your coffee, weed or wine consumption. Perhaps you're craving mind-expanding experiences in the form of trekking, learning Spanish or how to tango, all while making new friends? You tell yourself you'll get to it soon, usually “tomorrow”. Tomorrow you'll start feeding yourself the nourishment you crave. But tomorrow never comes.
