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.
