NOW SOLD OUT!!
EAT PRAY & SELF LOVE
This is not just a retreat.
This is your return.
To your fire.
To your voice.
To the version of you that got lost somewhere between people-pleasing, doing it all, and putting yourself last.
YOU MAY BE...
Emotionally and physically exhausted
Stuck in the loop of “what now?” or “is this it?”
Numbing or overdoing - with food, commitments, or other distractions
Facing the shifts of menopause, identity, or your next chapter
Longing to feel heard, seen, loved… by yourself most of all
You are not alone. And this retreat is not a luxury it’s a coming home.
IMAGINE WAKING UP....
In a stunning French château, birdsong outside your window, the scent of lavender in the air.
With a warm herbal tea in hand, journaling with clarity for the first time in years.
Surrounded by a sisterhood of women who get it. Who see you. Who reflect your fire back to you.
YOU FEEL....
Calm, centered, clear
Confident in your body and your boundaries
Connected to your next phase — not afraid of it
Lit up by joy, presence, and a deep sense of purpose
THIS IS FOR THE WOMAN WHO'S READY TO:
Step away from burnout and into balance
Detox her mind, body, and energy
Release old habits of people-pleasing, perfectionism, and self-silencing
Feel her feminine power rise again — steady, grounded, and fierce
Learn holistic practices that heal from the inside out
Experience community, not competition — and become part of a circle that lifts, loves, and listens
TOGETHER WE RISE:
In this sacred space, you’ll journey through the feminine archetypes:
Maiden – the part of you that still dreams
Mother – the nurturer, the creator
Wild Woman – the untamed, intuitive self
Wise Woman – your inner oracle, healer, and guide
But above all — we come together as Queens.
Here, we fix each other’s crowns.
We don’t shrink. We rise.
WHAT'S INCLUDED:
Daily embodiment and meditation sessions
Nourishing, detoxifying meals prepared on-site
Holistic workshops in emotional healing, nutrition, feminine energetics, and inner child work
Time to rest, reflect, and reignite

FIRST LET'S SEE WHAT A FEW OF OUR MANY PREVIOUS GUESTS HAVE TO SAY….
TESTIMONIALS FROM OUR LAST RETREAT
ttending this wellness retreat was one of the most rejuvenating and transformative experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the beauty of the setting. It was the peaceful, natural surroundings that immediately created a sense of calm and clarity. It felt like the perfect escape from the pace of everyday life. What made this retreat truly special, though, was the personal attention and care woven into every aspect of the experience. Each activity, whether it was yoga, sound baths, journaling, or group sessions, was thoughtfully tailored to meet our needs. It was clear that Leanne, Sophie, and the other retreat leaders took the time to get to know each individual, gently guiding us in ways that felt meaningful and aligned with our personal journeys. Their presence was warm, intuitive, and consistently supportive. The food was another highlight. It was nourishing, wholesome, and deeply satisfying. Every meal felt like a celebration of health and intention and I came away with a fuelled body. This retreat offered more than just rest for me as it gave me a deep reset. Before attending I was a little apprehensive not knowing anybody but ended the week with a group of new friends who I connected with more than I ever imagined possible. I left feeling clearer, stronger, and more connected to myself than I had in a long time. I’m deeply grateful for the care, guidance, and genuine love that Leanne, Sophie, and the entire team brought to every detail. I can’t recommend this experience enough.

hat an experience! Finally, after a couple of years of managing to talk myself out of going to the eat pray self-love retreat, for various reasons, I finally took the plunge and travelled solo to France, to meet a group of ladies I’d never met before, to embark on my first ever retreat. The chateau was beautiful, as were the gorgeous kind ladies I met there. From Sophie’s amazing, healing food, Leanne’s yoga/meditation classes, Laura’s sound baths, Elle’s breath work and Gemma’s belief session, all added up to a truly wonderful and life changing experience. The group was very mixed but everyone just got on so well-lots of likeminded ladies enjoying a gift to themselves. So if you like me, are unsure you’re brave enough, guess what, you are! Go and experience it for yourself-you’ll not regret it! A truly beautiful experience. Thank you ladies

have just returned from a sensational 5 day retreat in France. What a beautiful experience I feel so grateful and blessed that I was able to join and be part of such a special retreat where I have made memories to last a lifetime . Leanne Brown & Sophie Baines created something very unique and personal for all of us ladies . Waking up in a glorious, peaceful setting each morning surrounded by warm, loving souls was exactly what I needed to rebalance and unwind, the Chateau we stayed in was breathtaking. Yoga with Leanne Brown first thing in the morning was a great opportunity to reconnect & ground myself for the day followed by delicious, nutritious, wholesome food lovingly prepared and served by the gorgeous Sophie Baines, what a way to start any day ! Sophie nourished us with flavorful, invigorating meals each day . Belief Coding sessions with Gemma was phenomenal a real game changer releasing old stagnant toxic emotions and finally being free from what holds you back, incredible. Elle the breath work goddess taught us so much and provided us with breathing sessions that left us all feeling revitalised, joyful and full of energy . The Sound Baths by Laura were enchanting and serene leaving us so relaxed before bed we all slept blissfully. As a busy Mum of 3 with a chaotic household I needed to find time for myself and remember who I am and this retreat was the medicine I so needed I have returned feeling reset and ready to take on the world . My creative side that is usually suppressed by being so busy has opened up and I have pure clarity as to what I want to do next, I feel strong and confident enough to go out there and do exactly what I want as I have been made to feel so empowered by all the kindred spirits on this retreat . I have to wrap this up but still so much to praise about the retreat. I would highly recommend you experience for yourself one of these life changing retreats. My heart is full 🤍

Caroline
ttending the Eat, Pray and Self Love wellness retreat at the chateau in France was a truly life-changing experience. Surrounded by a group of fascinating, supportive women, I felt completely safe to be vulnerable and express myself in ways I hadn’t before. The retreat struck the perfect balance between restorative downtime and enriching practices and workshops. Every detail was thoughtfully curated—from the nourishing, homemade meals prepared by Sophie, the incredible nutritionist, to the peaceful setting that invited reflection and connection. Leanne is an inspiration and a beautiful soul who offers guidance and support throughout. I left feeling deeply recharged, inspired and empowered. I would highly recommend this retreat to anyone seeking genuine transformation, and I’m already looking forward to future retreats with these amazing women.

Eat, Pray and Self Love Retreats created by Leanne Brown & Sophie Baines are absolute life changers. I’ve always been searching for ‘the missing piece’ and a chance meeting with Leanne led me to this. Through Meditation, Yoga & Breathwork and being provided with fresh healthy food and meaningful conversations with women and no judgement I was able to ‘find myself’.. there was no missing piece.
Gemma
Ican’t actually put into words how amazingly beautiful these events are and how truly beautiful Leanne and Sophie are inside and out. My self love journey began when I embarked on my first ever retreat where I first met these ladies and was completely blown away by the whole experience
Angie
Leanne and Sophie‘s retreat in Portugal was an amazing experience. A fusion of education for body, mind and soul. We loved the food, Sophie is an incredible chef. While Leanne’s morning yoga was the perfect start to each day.The best part for me was the amazing sisterhood we have built up during retreat with like-minded, amazing women.
Margaret
Happiness is within, not on the outside. The retreat changed my perception in the way I look at things. Surrendering to the unknown. It takes mindfulness and virtue to come to live a fortunate human life. Leanne and Sophie did this to me, being me is good enough.

FAQ'S
We will stay in a beautiful Chateau , in Villeneuve Sur Lot. Which is located roughly 1 hours drive from Bergerac Airport, to which Ryan air offers economical flights on the specified dates from Liverpool airport, starting at £70. from Stansted airport from £130. (Please note these prices are subject to change depending on time of booking, these prices are based on viewing November 2024)
This is a deep healing and transformative retreat, it is not based around yoga practices. We aim to allow beginners to feel comfortable in these sessions so the practices are more focused on connecting internally and releasing blocked energy in the body. There will be additional movement and somatic exercise/ecstatic dance included depending on the group and itinerary. Adjustments will be suggested for all levels. Everyone is welcome!
Weather is unpredictable and we make no guarantees, but our retreat time is in mid June so the weather will be temperatures around (20 to 26 degrees Celsius).
All classes will be in an indoor-outdoor space which offers protection from the elements.
We expect around 10-12 participants.
Rooms will be available for check in from 12:00 PM. Check out is at 12:00 PM
This retreat is designed as an immersive experience for you to reconnect and reflect inwards. So we recommend things like enjoying the pool, journaling or reading, walking, sitting in meditation or simply resting. The itinerary is designed to give you time to do both. We have included an excursion and there is an option for an extra excursion for the last day also, that you can sign up for on request.
You can book your flights to Bergerac as soon as possible. The earlier you book your flight, the better price you will secure.
In addition to clothes, toiletries, and other things you would normally pack for a trip like this, we recommend you bring the following: yoga clothes, flip flops, bathing suit, light sweaters or wraps for cool nights, closed toe shoes (if hiking or running), light long sleeve shirt and pants, hat and sunscreen. All yoga mats and props will be provided so no need to bring if you’d rather not!
Yes! On the day the retreat starts and ends, one group ground transportation to and from Bergerac airport will be arranged for groups at one specified time if there are requirements for times outside of this it will be at the cost of the guest. We will recommend various flight times and arrange the times around these. A few months prior to the start of the retreat, we will reach out to you to collect your travel details. If you require transfers outside of this return we can arrange but costs will be added.
Even in the rare instance that we need to cancel or reschedule the retreat we will only be able to refund ticket costs at most, and would not in any instance be able to compensate you for other costs, such as flights booked, etc. Due to this concern, we highly recommend that you purchase personal travel insurance.
We suggest that you include “cancel for any reason” with your policy and include medical coverage. Many insurance policies must be purchased within 14 days of making your reservation so please prioritise accordingly.
We don’t have an option for this but if you wish to stay in the local area you are very welcome to make your own accommodation and travel arrangements. There are also some great excursion options available we can recommend if you enquire before your trip and pre book.
In order to secure the venue and programming, Eat Pray & Self Love is required to enter into binding contracts with 3rd parties that do not allow for refund or cancellation in any instance except for limited instances where “acts of god” render the entire event impossible. As such, we must enforce a strict cancellation policy and there will be no refunds in any instance. You may transfer your ticket under certain conditions. Purchasing trip insurance to protect yourself is always a good idea.
You may transfer your ticket to another person (of the same sex if you have purchased a twin room) up to 3-days before the retreat start date without penalty by emailing us at eatprayandselflove333@gmail.com After that time, our strict cancellation policy applies.
Any balance remaining after payment of the initial deposit is due to be paid by April 10th, 2025. As noted above, we have a strict cancellation policy with no refunds (including for any deposits) so please make sure you have sufficient funds ready to pay any remaining balance at this time.
Yes! Just email us with a description of your partner’s needs (for example, a partner would like to participate in meals and excursions but skip the yoga classes, etc.) and we will send options that work for you.
The accommodation is split into two parts, most of the rooms are in the main house and there is also a cottage with 2 extra rooms. The main house consists of 1 master with ensuite, 1 double with ensuite, 2 further doubles and 1 more twin room, shared bathroom. If single occupancy is requested and we have availability, we can offer this at an additional cost.
