Winds of Change:
Respire to Rebirth
Oct 5 - 9, 2025.
Moustiers Ste Marie, Luberon, France.
Embrace: Winds of Change: Respire to Rebirth
You are invited to embark on a sacred journey within, connecting deeply with the rhythms of your breath and the cycles of nature. In October 2025, at the serene Monastere de Segries in the mountains forming the famous Gorges du Verdon, we gather to honor the wisdom of autumn—a season of release, transformation, and rebirth.
You are invited into a sacred relationship with your breath, the life force that sustains and empowers you. Through this connection, you will shed what no longer serves you, making space for new growth and possibilities.
In this sanctuary, we come together to cultivate inner wisdom, strengthen our bonds with our true selves, and let go of outdated patterns. Winds of Change is your invitation to step out of fear and stagnation, to embrace love and vibrancy. We will engage in practices that ground us, uplift us, and guide us through change. Through breathwork, sound healing, and rituals, we will breathe new life into our beings and align with our highest selves.

The Essential Essence
Season
Autumn is a season of transformation, where nature begins to shed its leaves and prepare for rest. The air turns crisp, and the landscape is painted in hues of amber and gold, reminding us of the beauty in letting go. As the astrological year transitions through Libra and into Scorpio, it’s a time for introspection and balance. At this moment of the year, we are invited to release what no longer serves us and make space for renewal. The energies of fall offer a perfect backdrop to embrace deep reflection, letting go of old patterns, and preparing for rebirth.
Elements
Air and metal are the governing elements of autumn, representing the breath of life and the sharpness of clarity. The winds carry away the old, and we learn to surrender, trusting that what we release will transform into something new. Breathing becomes central to this process—through our breath, we release, reset, and renew. Just as nature lets go of its leaves, we too can cut cords and release what holds us back, preparing for the next phase of our journey with a fresh, clear perspective.
Genius Loci
Set in the heart of the Verdon Natural Park, the Monastère de Ségriès is a beautifully restored former Cistercian monastery, offering a haven of peace and rejuvenation for the Winds of Change retreat. Nestled amid rolling hills and untouched landscapes, the monastery invites you to breathe deeply, unwind, and open yourself to the transformative energies of autumn. This serene environment, rich with history and natural beauty, provides the perfect backdrop for shedding old layers and embracing the winds of change.
