Retreat · Thrive to Perform | 25–27 November 2026
You take care of everyone. Who takes care of you?
A 2.5-day restorative retreat less than an hour from Paris, for leaders, coaches, therapists, and educators. Only 12 places.
You spend your days giving — to students, patients, teams, families. But no one leads, teaches, or supports well while running on empty.
This retreat is for the people everyone else leans on: step out of the role of the one who carries everyone and, for two days, be the one who receives.
What you leave with
- Clarity — rested, and clear about what actually matters, in your work and beyond it.
- A practice for pressure — the SSSTOPPPP™ method, ready to use on your hardest days.
- Strength from adversity — the HEROIC Paradox™, to turn difficulty into resolve, on demand.
- A plan that holds — your 10-year action plan, with 30- and 90-day follow-up calls to keep you on track.
Every session is grounded in the 21 psychosocial competencies (PSC) — rooted in the WHO life-skills framework and structured by Santé publique France (2022) — and the SAFE method: Sequenced, Active, Focused, Explicit.
Not an escape. A turning point.

After you leave
The retreat does not end at the gate. Follow-up calls at 30 and 90 days, so the change holds long after you return.
