ChezzenThis silent retreat is particularly suitable for people who like to explore, silence, meditation, yoga (Scaravelli inspired) and healing touch. We welcome beginners and advanced practitioners.

What are our themes

  • Exploring a deeper body-breath-mind connections and discovering new levels of your whole being, in motion and in stillness
  • Breathing into open space and sensing the depth in your body by moving intuitively in accordance with the pulsation of every living cell.
  • Observing your thoughts and also facing your fears to discover peace within simply being and acknoledging the given moment.
  • Wait, watch and wonder through the doors of forgotten pathways to and from your heart. Connecting with the faraway horizon and staying rooted in the here and now can be a very reawarding experience.
  • Rrecognizing the possibility to grow beyond the chatter in the mind and redescover the silent beauty within the nature of all existence.

“Let yourself be silently drawn by the stronger pull of what you really love” – Rumi

We spend 5 days in silence and 7 days on site

Chezzen retreat center is nestled in the beautiful coutryside of the Gascogne in South France, between Toulouse and Bordeaux. It is a magical place where you have the freedom to pause and the opportunity to come back to yourself. Through the practice of meditation, movement, Healing touch and through rhythm and sound, we connect again with the true heart of “being-in-tune” with nature and all living beings.

Silent times…

… Increase the energy level, engender a deepening of body-mind awareness and remind ourselves of the importance to practice equanimity, self-love and  compassion for others to bring more peace into existence.

We encourage everybody to remain silent during 5 days and keep physical and mental activities on a minimum. Phones and Internet should remain switched off.

During Yoga and healing touch classes we allow a minimum of commuication if important questions are coming up.
