About Us

Creating a Thriving Community in the Alps

We are Polly and Reuben, a couple living in the town of Morzine in the French Alps.

After moving to the mountains in 2016, we soon discovered what a powerful and unique environment the Alps are for self development and mindfulness practice.

We want to share this place with hard-working folk who want to reconnect with themselves and escape their busy lives for a while.

We have created a network of highly-skilled professionals from around the Alps, with exceptional facilities, services and guides for retreat holidays.

Whether you are a solo traveler seeking a mindful getaway or a leader looking to run a retreat, this is the perfect place for you!
