Location & Activities
Congénies is a charming and quaint French village in the south of France rich in history, colors, scents, and culinary specialties. In the spring this area of France is full of blooming flowers.
There are hiking trails out the gate and towns with beautiful architecture, Roman ruins and street cafes within easy distance. You could also borrow or rent a bike for an afternoon or two and ride through the countryside of southern France.
Our hosts, my Zoom students Amy & Chamba Cooke, are full of ideas and willing to take groups on excursions for a small fee.
Meals
Meals are provided- and those needing vegan, vegetarian, gluten free and allergen-free options will be accommodated. Local produce, usually organic, is used. Amazing French bread, cheeses, and local wines will be served each day. Amy & Chamba, past owners of Summer Thyme Bakery in Grass Valley, will also be in charge of the food.
Room & Travel Considerations
The room you choose impacts your price. You may choose a private room with private bath, a shared room, or a private room with a shared bath. Rooms in the Maison Quaker are simple and are available on a first-come-first served basis. There are also rooms available across the street.
Participants may fly into Paris or Barcelona and take a speed train to Nimes, France or fly into Montpellier. If interested, we will give you much more information.
You are also welcome to book a room with meals before and after the retreat to continue exploring this region of France. Just let hosts know as soon as you can to reserve your space.

This retreat could also become one step in your larger spring European adventure!
I am very excited about this retreat. Four hours of shared practice a day with plenty of time to journal, practice on your own outside, or explore.
A two hour yoga pranayama and asana practice will start the day. I will be able to help students modify the practices individually. After breakfast people will have free-time until the late afternoon stretch, breathe & restore session. I will be available after classes to answer individual or group questions about yoga in your unique bodies.
The practice of yoga invites us to be fully present in the experiences of our lives. Enjoying our practices, exercise, good food, company, rest, history, culture and quiet reflective time are all a part of our practice of living life fully. I hope you can join us!

After our 7 day immersion in Miyoshin-ji “The Temple of Enlightened Mind” we will journey to Kinosaki Hot Springs for a 2 night stay in a traditional, luxurious Ryokan (Japanese Inn) to relax in the natural mineral waters.
