Ardèche · France · October 29 – November 1, 2026
An immersion for those who long to reconnect with themselves, express who they truly are, and rediscover what it feels like to be fully alive.
An immersion for those who long to reconnect with themselves, express who they truly are, and rediscover what it feels like to be fully alive.
Between Worlds
This is the time of year when the veil between the visible and the invisible grows thin. When messages that can no longer be ignored rise to the surface. When the ancestors draw nearer. When the shadow becomes a guide rather than an enemy. When truth asks to be seen, acknowledged, honored.
Samhain — All Saints' Day — is a passage, a portal. A space between two worlds, where the old comes to an end and the new has not yet been named.
This immersion is an exploration of hidden layers, unspoken stories, memories that still live within the body.
It is a space to lift the veil: the one you wear before others, and the one you wear before yourself.
During these days together, you will be invited to:
lay down the masks you have been wearing for far too long,
meet the truth that lies beyond your defenses,
release what must die so that you may be reborn,
listen to the messages held within your lineage, your shadow, and your possible futures,
reclaim your power and your inner vision.
Through rituals, somatic work, spaces of conscious intimacy, guided journeys, and practices of deep presence, you will cross this threshold with gentleness, truth, and strength.
This is not a retreat to perform.
It is a retreat to see, to feel, to release, to be reborn.
Where the veil dissolves, truth appears.
Where truth appears, freedom begins.
There are experiences
that cannot be explained.
They must be lived.
Moments when time slows down. When defenses soften. When conversations become real.
When you find yourself feeling more in a few days than you have in the past several months.
Sacred Wild & Mystic is an invitation to return to what truly matters. To feel again. To meet the other without a mask. To rediscover a deeper relationship with yourself and with life.
We have never been
more connected.
And yet.
Many have never felt so alone. Disconnected from their body. Disconnected from their emotions. Disconnected from nature. Disconnected from others. Disconnected from themselves.
Sacred Wild & Mystic is an invitation to return to what truly matters. To feel again. To meet the other without a mask. To find a deeper relationship with oneself and with life.
You feel that an older version of yourself is dying.
You are going through a transition, a rupture, a change, or a period of questioning.
You need the space to hear what you truly desire.
You want to step off autopilot.
You want to reclaim your energy, your creativity, and your aliveness.
You crave more honest, deeper, more human connections.
You want to express yourself more fully, take up space, and stop hiding.
You are tired of understanding your life without actually living it.
Over four days, artists, musicians, facilitators and participants co-create a living experience where each practice nourishes the next.
Song nourishes vulnerability.
Vulnerability nourishes intimacy.
Intimacy nourishes truth.
Truth nourishes courage.
And courage allows something new to emerge.
This is not about becoming someone else. It is about returning to what is already there.
Stepping away from screens. From the imposed rhythm. From the mind. Returning to the body. To sensation. To nature. To presence.
Creating enough space to hear what is seeking to emerge. A decision. A desire. A direction. A truth long postponed.
The essence of intimacy is not becoming closer to someone else. It is to grow closer to yourself while being in relationship with the other.
Daring to express it. Through dance. Through voice. Through movement. Through presence. Exploring the parts of yourself that have been set aside. Reclaiming your singularity. Reclaiming your freedom of expression.
Something difficult to put into words.

A former artists' residence nestled in the heart of the Ardèche. An intimate, wild space surrounded by nature. A place designed for slowing down, breathing, listening, and returning to what truly matters.
Days of full immersion
Spots maximum, in residency
From Valence TGV station
An intimate, wild space. A family home. A former artists' residence.
In the Ardèche, 45 minutes from Valence TGV station. A WhatsApp group is created to organize carpooling.
Because depth requires intimacy. Because every presence matters. Because some experiences can only exist in a small group.
"I found an indefinable magic in the place, the activities, every moment of this retreat. A pure connection, sincere curiosity and a rare uniqueness. Like a plunge into the unknown that turns out to be delicious and wonderful. I have so much gratitude for these moments of surrender, discovery and intense joy that will remain forever."
It was truly superb. I was able to go deep into my vulnerability, my fears and my wounds. Beyond the limits I thought I had already pushed far enough.
This retreat reconnected me with genuine human beings — not the ones hiding behind masks. It nourished my heart and changed the trajectory of my life for the long term.
I felt like I was discovering a part of life, after 36 years on this earth. The capacity to be connected to each other completely unsettled me. Very strong and powerful.
A life-saving, intense, powerful yet liberating and healing experience. An acceleration toward one's own encounter, which allows the truth deep within to emerge.
I discovered myself under at least 4 or 5 different aspects. The retreat was so rich in varied experiences. 10/10 without hesitation.
Deep, human, alive, regenerating, innovative and artistic. A capacity to seize the present moment to change what needs to be changed.
In participants' own words
Co-founder · Sacred Wild & Mystic
Trained in coaching at HEC Paris, Ophélie then traveled the world to study with masters of consciousness and transformation: from shamanism to initiatory sexuality.

She opens spaces to reveal:
Raw truth.
Buried desire.
The power waiting to be fully claimed.
Co-founder · Facilitator
Dorcas is an artist of voice and movement. Actress and singer, she discovered Ecstatic Dance and Kundalini Yoga in 2018, which transformed her path entirely.
These practices became pathways back to her body, her vital energy, her joy. Since then, she creates alive and embodied spaces to transmit what transformed her — through dance, breath, song and presence.
Musician · Vocal Liberation
Bruno has explored music since childhood, weaving voice and sound with a sensitivity nurtured by his journey in cinema. Between Paris and Ibiza, he guides vocal liberation through spaces of expression and creativity.
He guides:
Spaces where the liberation of the voice becomes a path back to oneself.
Journeys to the heart of vocal roots, through improvisation, intuitive singing and singing circles.

Absolutely. The vast majority of participants come alone. The retreat is precisely a space for making real, deep connections. Coming alone is often what allows the greatest openness.
