Eat, Pray, Love – A Journey into the Alchemy of the Self
66 Orange Turnpike, Sloatsburg, NY, USA
Up to 17 in group
September 23 - 25, 2025
Retreat Highlights
- A Journey of Alchemy and Transformation
- An Invitation to Transmute, Awaken, and Renew
- We are all alchemists—shapeshifters of experience, turning the lead of our past into the gold of embodied wisdom. This retreat is an invitation to rediscover that innate power. Here, transformation is not about changing matter but shifting energy—welcoming fluidity, renewal, and rebirth on the deepest, cellular level.
- In nature, nothing stays still. We, too, are meant to evolve. Even the sacred passage from life to death is part of a divine cycle of renewal. Through guided practices, stillness, movement, and connection, we honor the rhythms of change and the mystery of becoming.
- Life brings us to the edges—of loss, of awakening, of change. At this retreat, we gather to embrace it all. To heal, to grow, and to transmute—without shame, without fear, and always with grace.
About this Retreat
Your Guides
Isabelle Berger-Delgrange (BDM) is an advanced certified Jivamukti Yoga teacher, trained under Sharon Gannon, David Life, and Ruth Lauer-Manenti. She is also certified in Biodynamic Breathwork & Trauma Release (BBTRS) with Giten Tonkov and Myofascial Energetic Release (MER) with Sathyarti Peloquin. Additionally, she has studied sound healing with Don Conreaux, Sage Academy, and Fabien Maman, as well as conscious movement with Open Floor and Ohad Naharin. Her influences include Osho, Krishnamurti, Siddha Yoga, Carl Jung, Core Energetics, and Bioenergetics.
Isabelle has assisted and mentored in numerous teacher trainings, leading her to create her signature retreats and workshops.
Her greatest realization is that true learning never ends. She believes that growth comes from experience and self-inquiry, and that her students have always been her best teachers. This path has led her to become a somatic coach, guiding others in reconnecting with their heart, body, and soul through presence and surrender.
Isabelle has taught at Jivamukti NYC, various studios across the U.S. and Europe, and volunteered with Yoga for Liberation at Rikers Island Prison. She collaborates with Christophan ( Stephan Martel ) in sonic sound healing and co-founded the Breathnation Collective Project to promote awareness of oneness.
Based in Upstate New York, she offers workshops in the U.S., Europe, and India for 2025-2026.
Details of this retreat
This retreat is a sacred space for deep healing, reflection, and self-discovery.
Many of us dream of an Eat, Pray, Love journey—traveling to breathtaking places, savoring delicious food, meditating, and rediscovering ourselves. We long for a magical escape to find clarity, love, inspiration, and happiness. But transformation isn’t a one-size-fits-all experience.
Your personal journey may look entirely different from the classic Eat, Pray, Love narrative—and that’s perfectly okay. This retreat is not about following a script. You don’t need an ashram, tropical beaches, or a perfectly curated itinerary to find what your soul truly needs. It’s about healing, releasing grief or sadness, and reconnecting with yourself. It’s about finding peace, gaining clarity, and giving yourself permission to love and nurture yourself.
Food, as a symbol of growth and change, will help you reconnect with your body and emotions. Prayer, in whatever way resonates with you, will deepen your sense of presence and inner peace. Love—starting with self-love—will expand your capacity to give and receive more fully.
