Retreats

Connecting You With Yourself, Others, and the Region

We design immersive and transformative retreats that will connect you with yourself, others, and the natural beauty of the Cognac region in France. We offer three main themes: Mindfulness, Art, and Cuisine. Each experience is bespoke: designed and carefully curated to provide you and your fellow travellers with an unforgettable journey that nurtures mind, body, and soul.

Mindfulness Retreats

At Ceangal, our Mindfulness retreats are designed to help you discover inner peace and cultivate a deeper connection with yourself and the present moment. Guided by experienced mindfulness coach, Martin Towey, you will learn and practice meditation, yoga, and mindful movement, developing the tools to integrate mindfulness into your daily life. Through these practices, you will discover how to cultivate greater self-awareness, reduce stress, and foster a more fulfilling and balanced life.

    Genuinely Warm & Welcoming

    This weekend exceeded my expectations. Olive & Charlie are wonderful hosts, immediately creating an environment which is genuinely warm & welcoming. Which in turn makes the group dynamic work effortlessly. I really cannot recommend it highly enough and look forward to my next trip to Olive & Charlie.

    Like a Gathering of Old Friends

    Olive and Charlie were so kind, generous and hospitable and really couldn’t do enough for the group and to make our stay as comfortable as possible. There was a lovely balance between our sessions and local trips. It became like a gathering of old friends after the first night at dinner...I’ll certainly be back!
