Our deepest intention is that, in our company you feel completely held by us, yet completely free to have your own unique experience.
THE LOCATION
After what has felt like years of searching for the venue that felt like a ‘full body YES’, we came across - in a way that was quite serendipitous - the very special Amassa place. Amassa is an old stone built hamlet, situated down a quiet wooded track in the heart of rural South-West France, with views over the surrounding valleys. With two stunning, light filled spaces for practice, two pools and 6 hectares of garden, woods, fruit trees and green open spaces, it really is the perfect place to immerse yourself in the beauty of retreat life. The hamlet consists of a collection of cottages, which all have their own kitchenette, lounge area and garden, every room also has an ensuite. The entire space is beautifully designed with a blend of old french rustic charm and contemporary finishes. You’ll wake up naturally to the song of birds and gentle russell of trees, find plenty of little corners to nap in the hammocks, journal on the grass, read your book by the pool or take a walk amongst the trees. In the balmy summer evenings, we’ll eat alfresco around a big farmhouse table family style, with a classic French wine, watching the sunset.
