Retreat workshops at La Platriere, field of sunflowers

"Pressure and stress rob you of your time and space. Retreat and life-workshops offer you the opportunity to address the balance in your life. To find the answers you seek you have to be still, to listen you have to be quiet, to go forward you have to have energy and direction. "

 

 Retreat Packages at La Platriere

La Platriere is an idyllic place to retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. As people, we all need space, peace and tranquillity every now and again to reflect, rest, heal and recharge our batteries. Regular space for oneself means that you can enjoy life more, be more efficient, healthier and better equipped to meet the heavy demands of modern living.   This is even more true than ever today as we face world economic crisis and recession, pressure from our employers, financial institutions, families and relationships can lead us all to feel overwhelmed, anxious and worried, lost and without hope for the future.

At La Platriere we offer just that - a chance to JUST BE! No timetables, no organised classes, nothing - just peace and quiet at harmony with nature. A chance not only to just un-wind, but an opportunity to take stock, think things through, make decisions and plan ahead, without the day-to-day pressures, workload and stress.

Opportunities for 1-1 life-coaching sessions, or a relaxing indian head massage are available during your stay if you wish. Relationship counselling for couples is also available.  Please indicate when booking your requirements.

Retreat packages are available all year except during July and August when we are a little more busier.

So pick up the phone .....or send us an e-mail and book yourself in on for a rest............

Do you fear that one day you or your partner will fall out of love?

Has the person you met and fell in love with changed for the worse?

Are you hurting in your relationship with your partner?

La Platriere has 5 guest rooms, so space on workshops are limited to just 5 couples. Between workshop sessions, you can relax, or swim in our sparkling clean pool, or explore the region and local towns, taking home bargains of wine and cheese.

  • Rekindle the romance and passion in your relationship
  • Transform conflicts into opportunities for deeper understanding and connection
  • See your relationship in exciting new ways with renewed hope to fulfill its potential

DE-Stress Weekends

 


"You are up against the clock……..yet again!, and there is still so much to be done and just not enough time. Your pulse is racing, and you are getting increasingly irritable, you feel frustrated and unable to concentrate. Some days you feel you are so wound up you could explode, and other days you feel so drained and fed up that all you want to do is curl up in a corner and escape from it all."

De-stress weekends run from Thursdays to Sundays throughout the year except during course dates (see table above).

If this resonates within you, then consider a long weekend away from it all to de-stress and get back into balance. Our  "De-Stress Weekends" are available most weekends throughout the year.

The "No Stress 3 night/4 day  Package" runs from Thursday  to Sunday during which time you'll experience peace and tranquility at La Platriere, you'll learn deep relaxation techniques, and receive a wonderful Indian Head Massage. You'll have your own room with private en-suite, and enjoy delicious home-cooked meals using local produce. You'll even be picked up from the airport or train station. All this for an inclusive price of 467 euros.

There is even an optional trip available to local Thermal baths with choice of 4 treatments all for a supplement price of 60 euros. 

Interested? Then contact us now and let's start planning to unwind

Life-Coaching at La Platriere

What is Life-Coaching?

Life-coaching is about getting the most out of your life, enhancing the skills you already have, learning how to access your resources and living a purposeful, fulfilling life.

Often we have beliefs about ourselves and our capabilities which hold us back from achieving a fulfilling and successful life. These beliefs limit ourselves to the extent that we look externally for reasons why we do not achieve, why we are not happy etc, these often taking the form of blaming others for our circumstances.  Life-coaching aims to tackle this.........by getting you back in control of your life by dealing with these limiting self-beliefs which hold you back.

There are two ways you can do this at La Platriere, either by joining in on one of our workshop holidays, or by coming out on a retreat package and incorporating life-coaching sessions during your stay. During these sessions you will learn how to identify your sabotaging beliefs, identify your strengths and weaknesses, make connections with where these lay in your past, resolve unresolved issues that stand in your way, and learn different thoughts and behaviours.

The rest of your life starts now.......are you ready and prepared to get the best of it?

Contact Andy or Jackie for full details of how to get started.... either by telephone 0033 470679426 or by e-mail on info@laplatriere.co.uk
