A different kind of women’s retreat in Provence


If you’re a woman who’s been moving at lightning speed, juggling responsibilities, navigating transitions, or simply feeling the weight of life, this is your invitation to pause.

The Slow Down Retreat has been designed to help you:

Led by Provence native Cynthia Moos, this retreat is a homecoming to the rhythms of the South of France.
