BOOK A DISCOVERY CALL

Something within you is ready.....


Not for more doing. 
Not for more effort.


But  for more space.
More truth.
More connection to yourself.

You’ve been holding a lot.

Now you’re ready to:

✓ Step away from the noise and constant doing

✓ Reconnect with your body and inner world

✓ Soften what has been held beneath the surface

✓ Feel safe to open, receive and be with yourself

✓ Return to a deeper sense of presence, love and aliveness

 

To gently release the layers of who you became…
and reconnect with who you are — your essence —
beneath the noise of who you were told to be.

 

I’m ready to return to myself

You’ve done the inner work…

The awareness.  The healing.  The practices..


But something still lingers…
just beneath the surface.


Not because you haven’t done enough —
but because some layers
can only be met through the body.

 

 

Through the body

Through space.
Through stillness.
Through presence.

Through being held.
Through being witnessed.

Through embodiment.

 

And something in you is ready for that now.

 

Held by
Arpita & Matthieu

 

We hold this space with presence, care and intention - so you can feel safe to explore whatever arises.

 

Guest teachers will also join us throughout the retreat.

Hi I'm
Arpita 

This work is deeply personal to me.  

 

My path into breathwork and embodiment came through my own journey of navigating grief, emotional overwhelm and the pressure of constantly holding it all together.

 

For many years, I lived between structure and creativity — 

Read my Story...

working in both scientific and creative spaces —
but something in me was always searching for a deeper way of understanding the body, healing and transformation.

Through breathwork, somatic practices and spiritual teachings,
I began to reconnect with a sense of safety within myself —
and a way of being that felt more grounded, open and true.

Today, I hold spaces with care, presence and deep respect for the nervous system.

Spaces where you don’t have to perform, fix or push —
but can gently soften, feel and reconnect with yourself.

This retreat is something I feel deeply devoted to creating —
a space that is safe, held and intentional.

Hi I'm
Matthieu 

Holding space is something I approach with deep care and responsibility.

My work has taken me across different parts of the world,
guiding breathwork, meditation and retreat experiences —
but at the heart of it, it has always been about creating spaces where people can feel safe enough to be fully themselves.

Through my own journey,

Read my Story...

 I’ve come to understand the power of slowing down,
of listening,
and of allowing what is present to unfold without force.

My approach is gentle, grounded and attentive —
meeting each person where they are,
and supporting them to reconnect with a deeper sense of presence and inner stillness.

Soften. Return. Reconnect.


An immersive retreat of breath, embodiment and sacred practice - exploring the body through the chakra system and elements to support deeper integration and inner transformation for both Men and Women.

Title

Morning — Grounding & Opening

 

We begin the day slowly,
with practices to arrive in the body.

Through gentle movement, breath and guided awareness,
you are supported to land in presence and grounding.

 

Midday — Exploration & Practice

 

Each day centres around a different layer of the body and chakra system.

Through teaching, somatic work and guided practices,
you’ll begin to explore the patterns, emotions and experiences held within that layer.

 

Breathwork Journeys

 

Throughout the retreat, we move into guided conscious connected breathwork sessions.

This is where the work becomes embodied —
allowing insight, emotion and awareness to move through the body.

Each journey is guided with care, pacing and choice,
with space for grounding and integration afterwards.

 

Evening — Integration & Ceremony

 

Evenings offer space to slow down and integrate.

Through reflection, sharing, somatic practices,
and experiences such as cacao, sound, voice activation and ceremony,
you are supported to gently process and land the day’s experience.

 

Space for Rest

 

Spaciousness is woven throughout the retreat.

Time to be in nature, by the Goan sea, to rest, to be with yourself —
without needing to do or achieve anything.

 

 

 Held With Care

 

You’re invited to meet yourself exactly where you are.

This is a process of unfolding — in your own way.

The Journey

 

This is not simply a progression through the chakras.

It is a journey through the layers of your body —
and the patterns, emotions and experiences held within them.

Each day, we gently meet a different part of you.

Not to fix or force change —
but to bring awareness to what has been held…
and create space for something new to emerge..

This Retreat Maybe For You If...

 

 

✓ You're ready to step away and come back to yourself

✓ You long for deeper connection and inner clarity

✓ You're open to healing, growth and transformation 

✓ You’re seeking a space held with care and depth

 

What this can change...

 

Over the course of the journey, you may begin to notice:

 

✓ A greater sense of ease around receiving

✓ More space and lightness within the body

✓ Less internal resistance or holding

✓ A deeper connection to your body and emotions

✓ More steadiness, openness and trust in yourself

✓ A shift from efforting… into allowing

 

 

But beyond the retreat…

 

This is about how you return to your life.

How you respond when things feel uncertain.
How open you feel to what you desire.
How much you trust yourself to hold it.

 

 

Because what shifts in the body


doesn’t stay here.

It begins to shape how you live,
how you relate,
and what feels possible for you moving forward.

 

 

Why This Matters Now

 

There is a moment where you can keep waiting…
or you can meet yourself more deeply.

Not because something is wrong —
but because something in you is ready.

And often, that clarity doesn’t come from thinking more.

It comes from stepping into a space
where you can actually experience something different.
