Stillness.
11-16 September 2026 | Fully Booked.
A late Summer Retreat by The Glowin’
11–16 September | Château de Cadrès, France
Nestled in the heart of the peaceful Château de Cadrès, Stillness invites you to step away from the pace of daily life and enter four days of presence and gentleness. The days unfold amidst light-filled yoga practices, quiet moments for writing or strolling through the château gardens, and nourishing meals designed to support both body and mind.
Evenings unfold by candlelight, accompanied by a sound journey that fosters relaxation, introspection, and a sense of calm. Here, time is measured not by the clock, but by attention—to the breath, the body, and the self. Stillness is a space to simply be, to rest, and to gently prepare for the season ahead.
In a small group and an intimate, refined setting, it is an invitation to slow down, return to the essentials, and take care of yourself.
(English and French spoken)
Fully Booked.
Stillness is for those who long to step out of the everyday pace and into a held, intentional space. It is for anyone seeking presence, calm, and gentle restoration, rather than performance or productivity.
The Wellness.
An experience for those seeking to slow down, to connect, and be guided by nature’s rhythm.
Throughout the retreat, daily yoga sessions are offered, designed to foster presence, reconnection, and deep listening to the body. They invite you to fully inhabit the moment, quieting the mind and creating space. The sessions are adaptable, blending yoga, conscious breathing, meditation, myofascial release, and sound work, with a special focus on the nervous system and movement that is both gentle and grounding.
Between the practices and sound journeys, moments of sharing and exchange unfold around the table, while time spent outdoors blends naturally into the rhythm of the days. Gentle walks, sun-drenched breaks, reading in a hammock, swimming—all are invitations to slow down and return to what truly matters.
At once gentle, attentive, and deeply human, the approach invites you to move, rest, and simply be, just as you are.

The Sanctuary.
Nestled within ten hectares of private parkland and forest, the Château de Cadrès offers a peaceful, contemplative setting conducive to rest and introspection. Carefully restored, the château preserves its architectural character while providing quiet, spacious, and timeless interiors. A dedicated, light-filled studio overlooks the sequoias and the surrounding rolling landscape, creating an ideal space for movement, meditation, and sound practices. Terraces encircle the château, opening onto sweeping views of the countryside and inviting guests to pause, read, or simply savor the moment.
Between sessions, time is intentionally left free—to enjoy the pool, stroll through the gardens, or rest in the shade. The setting fosters a slower pace, allowing the stay to unfold naturally, without distractions.
The Cuisine.
Meals at Stillness are simple, seasonal, and nourishing—an essential part of the retreat experience. The vegetarian cuisine is thoughtfully prepared to complement both the daily rhythm and the time spent on the mat. Shared around the table, meals offer a natural opportunity to slow down, connect, and savor the food mindfully. Tea, coffee, and herbal infusions are available throughout the day, allowing guests to transition between practice, rest, and meals at their own pace.
Specific dietary requirements can be accommodated upon request, ensuring every guest feels supported and well-cared-for.
