Christina Rougerie

For Christina, The Gift of Light isn’t just a retreat—it’s a reflection of her own journey back to wholeness.

After leaving her home in the U.S. and starting over in France, the rhythm of her life fell silent. The language, the culture, even her sense of belonging—all felt foreign. What began as adventure turned into isolation, and she found herself searching for connection, meaning, and a way home to herself.

Her healing began quietly: through movement, creativity, and the courage to soften. She learned to listen to her body, to breathe again, and to find laughter in simple, ordinary moments. Over time, what felt like an ending became a return—an awakening to her own strength, beauty, and light.

Turning 50 became a milestone of renewal, not reinvention. The woman who once felt lost rediscovered the joy, community, and confidence that were waiting within her all along.

Now, Christina creates spaces for others to do the same. Her retreats are an invitation to pause, release what’s heavy, and reconnect with your own inner light—so you can return to your life not just rested, but radiant.
