Merci beaucoup Stéphane !

C’était ma première retraite ! 😊

Quatre jours suspendus dans un lieu apaisant, propice à une vraie coupure avec le quotidien. Une expérience marquante, qui demande aussi un temps d’intégration au retour.

Stéphane a su créer un cadre à la fois accueillant et sécurisant, avec une présence simple et authentique.

Les rencontres ont été riches, avec des personnes de tous horizons. Les échanges, les chants et les moments partagés - avant, pendant et même après la retraite - font partie intégrante de l’expérience.

Incroyable, magique et transformateur

Cette retraite est le plus beau moment de ma vie.

Je suis arrivé avec des gros problèmes que je portais depuis des années et j'en suis ressorti complètement transformé. Il y a eut un avant et un après.

Stéphane est génial. Il est d'une bienveillance absolu. Tout étais parfait. Merci a Chloé, à Oli, à Flavien et Cris pour leur accompagnement de chaque instant, leurs ateliers et leurs dynamiques de groupe.

Ce groupe restera dans mon coeur a jamais. Stéphane passe un entretien a chaque personne avant de prendre des inscriptions. Il nous a dit que c'était la seule façon de constituer un groupe qui se tire vers le haut. On voit vraiment qu'il fait ca par passion.

Et la musique, topissime, merveilleuse. On a tous chanté ensemble guidé par les voix magnifiques et musiciens exceptionnels.

L'endroit est a coupé le souffle aussi. En plein coeur de la montagne, au milieu de nul part, juste parfait pour se recentrer. Il y 'a plusieurs chemin, de randonnée pour aller se rafraichir dans la rivière, aller au bord du lac ou rejoindre le plus vieille arbre de Catalogne qui se trouve a une heure a pied.

Je vais essayer d'y envoyer toute ma famille et mes amis. Je recommande cette retraite à 200%. On est même reparti avec des cadeaux souvenirs.

Compétence, professionnalisme, bienveillance, respect, éthique, sécurité et responsabilité les mot me manque pour décrire cette équipe merveilleuse.

Merci retreat guru de m'avoir fait connaitre ce centre, il a changé ma vie
