Retreats for Moms and Kids
We offer global retreats where mothers and children can both flourish together. Mums can unwind with expert yoga instructors, soothing massages, and nurturing therapies, while children engage in enriching activities inspired by Montessori, Forest School, and Waldorf education. Kids will also learn breathing techniques, mindfulness, and compassion in action, drawing from the pedagogy of Tara Redwood School in California. Our retreats feature delicious, healthy food and immersive cultural experiences.

Activities and Highlights
Katie May, a dedicated yoga teacher, is one of the organizers of this transformative retreat alongside Elisabet Fabregas, a Montessori teacher. Katie is passionate about how yogic practices offer a toolkit for managing life’s pressures, particularly those of motherhood. She believes these practices enable us to tap into our rich inner resources, allowing our souls to shine while embracing the role of Mother. Together, Katie and Elisabet create a nurturing space where women can connect, be seen, and be heard without judgment. This retreat is designed to foster femininity and connection, offering participants daily yoga sessions, sound healing meditation with bowls, and a soulful kirtan evening. The experience is enriched by guided walks through Chamonix’s stunning natural landscapes, featuring glaciers and serene lakes, as well as invigorating circles and a cacao ceremony. Participants can also relax in the indoor pool and sauna, with private massages available for booking. This retreat is a unique opportunity to explore and find your individual space within the tapestry of life, all within a supportive circle of women.
