About the Event

A deeper immersion, created for those who have already walked this path and feel called to return.


This 7-day retreat offers 5 full days in silence, giving time to touch the deeper layers of your inner world.

Each of these retreat is unique — shaped by what is present in me and in the collective field at that time.


Whether we journey into grief, joy, relational wounds, ancestral echoes, creativity, or something else entirely, the container of silence and nervous system awareness will hold us as we explore.


This is not just a retreat — it’s a relationship with silence that grows with you.


"External silence can be the doorway to inner silence." Ram Dass

♡ The facilitator

Margaux is a Psycho-Somatic therapist dedicated to facilitating profound journeys of self-discovery and healing. With over a decade of experience as a healer and facilitator, she has devoted her life to helping others grow into their authentic selves. Margaux's expertise spans Integrative Medicine, Energetic Healing, Yoga, and other holistic practices, which she uses to guide individuals toward self-acceptance.

Margaux has organized numerous retreats and has herself spent a transformative month in silence in India, an experience that deepened her belief in the power of silence as a gateway to self-awareness and growth. Her retreats offer a sacred space where participants can explore their inner landscapes, free from the distractions of daily life.

Driven by curiosity, consciousness, and creativity, Margaux approaches her work with a loving heart. She chooses to live each day with integrity, joy, self-awareness, and douceur (gentleness), and she inspires others to do the same. For Margaux, the journey toward self-love and acceptance is not just a personal one; it is essential for transforming the collective consciousness of humanity.

Margaux envisions a world where humans love themselves and each other, a world where everyone feels seen, heard, and loved. In these times, she believes it is more crucial than ever to cultivate self-aware, conscious individuals who live in harmony with nature and embrace compassion and love. Through her retreats and offerings, Margaux empowers people to feel more aligned, guiding them to become who they are.
