About this Retreat
Your Guides
For over three decades in France, Californian-in-Paris David has designed premium, intimate gatherings that unite food and culture, growth and human connection. Rooted in the arts and his pioneering work in Sensorial Living, he fuses theatrical flair, culinary artistry, and spirited conversation into transformative experiences of embodiment and integration that you feel.
From private salons to immersive retreats, David’s signature approach—Alivefulness™—elevates the human experience through beauty and art, presence with empowered embodiment, and epicurean delight.
Now for the first time, David offers his Parisian sensibility to San Francisco, a savant fusion of French refinement, Californian consciousness, and soulful creativity, celebrating the arts, savoring life, and igniting your inner depth, outer expression and connection magnetism.
"I’ve spent years exploring what it means to live from the heart, to savor life through the senses, and to express the beauty that naturally flows when we return to presence. Hosting Radiance is my way of offering a living experience of that philosophy and lifestyle, one where you don’t just learn, but feel what it means to thrive through freedom and presence, to savor your ride of life!"
