The September Retreat.

About the Retreat.
The September Retreat is an opportunity to unwind and rejuvenate before you step into the last chapter of the year. We invite you to join us on this luxury yoga and wellness experience in the tranquility of a valley nestled in southwest France. Where you can awaken to a breathtaking sunrise, step out into the gardens where wild herbs grow, and walk through the parkland with delicate birdsong to guide you.
At this special retreat, you can experience reconnection of the self with daily rituals of wellness, live in harmony with the surrounding nature, visit a local area, allow yourself the chance to spend each day in presence, be around like-minded people, and relax in stylish accommodation.
Our aim for this retreat is for you to simply allow time for yourself to relax in peaceful surroundings so that you can return to life glowing from within!

The Wellness.
Your retreat will be hosted by founder of The Glowin’ Retreat, Harriet Cherry. A 350hr yoga and meditation teacher, Harriet will guide you through the daily wellness of yoga, meditation, and sound journeys throughout the six days of your retreat experience to draw awareness to the body’s senses. Harriet’s practices are often desrcibed as refreshing. They are spaces where you can be yourself, where you can laugh; but also, spaces where you feel safe to be vulnerable and release any tension that you may be holding on to. Expect a personalised experience, despite being in a group; with a sharp-eye for detail, the practices will be adapted exactly to your needs.
On your retreat, you will have an 1:1 session with Harriet, where you can discuss your lifestyle and discover a more personal practice, whether it be incorporating targeted stretches/movements or discovering ways to ‘slow-down.’ You can discuss potential results and how you can journey further with your personalised practice when you return home.
Alongside Harriet, will be nutrionist and lifestyle consultant, Yvonne Wake. With over 40 years experience, Yvonne will unlock the doors that stand in the way to a healthier you. Yvonne believes that healthy eating is not just about losing weight, but is also about looking after your body, your mind, your organs, your bones, and of course to give you that boost of confidence to look and be the best you can at all times.

Stepping Beyond.
During your retreat with us, we will take the opportunity to step beyond the château walls and discover a hidden treasure in the Lot-et-Garonne.
A place that is encriched with French culture and history, we will experience Botanical Gardens that even Monet himself frequented.
We don’t want to give too much away to keep the excitement, but, we can tell you that we’ve organised the hassle of travel and entrance fees so that you can so that you can sit back and relax!
The Sanctuary.
Sitting on a hill, Château de Cadrès overlooks the valley of the Lot-et-Garonne. This hidden gem is set within 10 hectares of private parkland & forest, harnessing the tranquility required for an escape from the modern rush so that you can take a moment to breathe.
Cadrès has been restored to its former glory, highlighting its unique architecture, and creating a soothing environment with its timeless design. A stunning studio overlooks the sequoia trees, growing beyond the South Terrace, where you can practice yoga and meditation twice a day.
Step out upon the terraces encircling Cadrès, and surround yourself with the breathtaking views of the rolling hills. Let your senses be lulled by the sweet perfumes of the fruit trees and herbs that grow about the gardens and let your morning strolls be guided by the birds. Between the activities of this retreat, you will have plenty of time to relinquish the daily rush of life by relaxing by the private pool, dozing under dappled shade of the trees, reading your favourite book on the terraces or playing a round of tennis as you bond with the other guests.
The Cuisine.
While you retreat at the Château de Cadrès, the in-house chef will be in charge of nourishing your bodies with delicous cuisine! She certainly likes to make the table as colourful as possible with the food made from scratch!
After your morning yoga practice, there will be a buffet breakfast awaiting you to nourish your body for the day ahead. Lunch will also be a buffet style and in the evening, you will have a 3-course dinner.
