BOOK NOW for JUNE 2026
ABOUT THE RETREAT
We are hosting our second Retreat for Actors this Summer. So save the date: 18th - 22nd June 2026.
This is not an acting retreat, this is the opportunity for artists to come and unwind, appreciate the long days in the peaceful countryside and spend time with people who *get it*.
This is a place for you to connect with your community, build long lasting relationships with like minded people but without all the usual networking pressure and lets face it... absolute waffle.
A space to slow down and start a conversation with your needs, your human needs, not just what you think you should be doing but what you want for yourself in life.
Daily Routines and Workshops
Over five days (4 nights), you’ll be able to practice simple daily routines designed to balance your mind and body. Our science-based workshops, grounded in NLP, CBT and well-being, will help you remove internal blocks, hone your craft, create your own method, and curate a practical toolkit. This will empower you to embody your most connected, calm, and confident self.
Relaxation and Nourishing Food
In the name of balance, it won't be all work and no play. You can also expect locally sourced food prepared by a personal chef and many opportunities to lounge by the pool, relax in the wood-fired hot tub or explore the beautiful gardens and idyllic French countryside.

The Venue
We will be hosting our retreat in the picturesque landscape of South-West France. Once a thriving Cognac distillery, the main building has been meticulously restored to blend rustic charm with modern comfort. Surrounded by lush vineyards and rolling hills, this serene estate offers a tranquil escape where you can unwind by the expansive swimming pool, relax in the wood-fired hot tub, and explore the enchanting gardens.
The main house accommodates up to 20 guests, however, our retreat will host just 12 to ensure an intimate and luxurious experience. With its peaceful setting and elegant accommodations, this venue is the perfect backdrop for a transformative retreat.
