Discover the Retreat
At Chalet Granite Mountain Lodge in Chamonix, we’re creating a heartfelt retreat that nurtures connection, growth, and well-being for both mother and child. Begin each day in the pure mountain air with yoga, sound healing, and soul-enriching cacao ceremonies led by Katie May, providing grounding moments of self-care. While mothers have space for reflection and growth through workshops on emotional education, children are guided through compassionate, nature-based activities inspired by Waldorf, Montessori, and forest school principles—fostering creativity, empathy, and resilience. This retreat is a sanctuary of joy, kindness, and meaningful connection, where the mother-child bond is truly celebrated and strengthened.
Activities and Highlights
This Mother–Child Retreat, co-led by yoga teacher and Montessori educator Elisabet Fàbregas and yoga teacher Katie May, offers a nurturing space for connection, learning, and rejuvenation. Elisabet, a certified 200-hour Yoga Alliance USA teacher, leads Restorative, Yin, and Vinyasa yoga sessions that support deep relaxation, emotional balance, and mindful movement. Her Montessori background brings a creative, nature-based approach to the children's activities, fostering emotional awareness, independence, and curiosity. Katie offers Kundalini and Hatha yoga for mothers, focusing on breathwork, energy alignment, and physical vitality. Her classes are uplifting and grounding, offering space for personal growth and reconnection. Each evening features heart-centered activities, including workshops inspired by Tara Redwood School where mothers and children come together to explore emotional tools, empathy, and mindfulness through guided practices. The retreat also includes sound healing, kirtan, a cacao ceremony, and opportunities for rest. Children will enjoy a visit to Merlet Animal Park, and there will be time for parents to relax with access to the indoor pool, sauna, and optional private massages. This retreat is a space to slow down, reconnect, and nourish both body and spirit—for mothers and children alike.
Accommodation
Each mother and child will have their own room and private bathroom in the Chalet Granite Mountain Lodge. This retreat features traditional haute savoyarde charm with stunning views and modern amenities, including an indoor pool, a relaxing sauna, and a cozy fireplace.

About the Activities:
These activities are inspired by my experience at Tara Redwood School in California, where the principles of Compassion in Education guide children's emotional and creative development. Each activity reflects these principles, helping both mums and children explore virtues like respect, generosity, and patience in a playful, mindful way.
