the/retreat

We are heading to the South of France for a 4-night stay in a quaint medieval European village, daily yoga and guided meditations, connecting with like minds, fresh and organic meals from the our own garden, and enjoying a scenic boat ride through Mercuès. 

who/why

​

this trip is for women who...

  • Are not living the life they envisioned 

  • Feel stuck 

  • Trapped in an unhealthy relationship with food

  • Need a "pivot". 

​

​

So many of us know what works well for us, but feel overwhelmed, anxious, and don't do it.  Perfectionism gets in the way, and goals and visions go unrealized.

​

Immerse yourself in self care, support, nourishing organic foods, and restorative activities.  These five transformative days with Sarah and Arleen will leave you feeling recharged and you will have the tools for overcoming perfectionism, “all or nothing” thought traps, critical self talk, and learn how to stop sinking your own ship :)

who we are/

Sarah Philipp

This is Sarah's fourth year providing international retreats and one of her favorite things to do (obviously).

​

Her approach as a holistic nutritionist is to help people find a happy place of eating the foods they enjoy, feel satisfied, and be forever liberated from diets and deprivation and

She helps her clients find flexibility with food, and freedom from denial and discipline.  Retreats are the perfect space in which to learn and practice these ideas and tools.  

 

So many people are stuck in a cycle of feeling lousy, but not knowing how to feel better or where to begin.  There are few better ways of beginning the journey to living your best life, than immersing yourself in abundant resources, a supportive environment and plenty of sunshine.

Who We Are
Daily Schedule

Arleen Milian

I am a Life Vision Strategist who integrates the trans-formative power of forgiveness and visioning to help my clients connect the dots to create live a life worth living. 

 

I provide guidance and support to people who are stuck and need a pivot, or have hit a bottom in life and want a change. I do this through a series of exercises and tools that I applied to my personal life which have proven miraculous results for me and individuals I have worked with. We take a look at where you are (clarity) and define what a life worth living would look like. Then we create a plan to get you moving in that direction.

 

I'm not a coach. I prefer a "vision doula" because of the role I've played in the birthing of hopes and dreams. I'm still blown away by that fact!!
