Calming retreat in the French Alps

With the help of nature: Participants of the writing retreat practising a mindfulness and grounding exercise in the 17th century converted monastery gardens in the French Alps.

My journey started in Amsterdam’s Schipol airport where I took a flight to Geneva, Switzerland, and from there proceeded by car to spend a night at Annecy, a small picturesque lake city in southern France.

The following day, I headed to Aix-les-Bains together with other workshop participants and on the way, picked up more attendees before finally going to our end destination in Yenne.
