Holism & Epigenetics: The Core of This Work

This retreat embraces the full complexity of being human. It’s not something you book in thirty seconds after seeing a pretty picture on Instagram. It asks for reflection, for clarity, for a real “yes” from you. That’s why there are a lot of words here — so that by the time you step into this space, you know exactly what you are saying yes to. If you’re more pragmatic and prefer to see the structure first, that’s fine — jump to this page for the daily rhythm and practices, and then come back here to understand the deeper philosophy behind it.

I stand on two foundations: One foot in the measurable, the observable, the grounded. The other in the unseen, the ancestral, the spiritual.For me, HOLISM means understanding a human being as an indivisible whole — body, mind, and spirit — where each part constantly shapes and is shaped by the others. You cannot change one without affecting the rest.EPIGENETICS is science’s way of confirming what many ancient traditions have known for centuries: our environment — physical, emotional, spiritual — shapes the way our genes express themselves. What we eat, how we move, the quality of our sleep, the safety we feel, the stories we tell ourselves — all of it leaves a trace. Change the environment, and the body, the mind, and life itself begin to change too.

This is why the retreat is not about teaching you what to believe, but about creating the conditions for you to experience for yourself how change happens. From the measurable — like how natural light resets your melatonin cycles — to the subtle — like how a rested body creates space for emotional clarity, which in turn opens the way to more aligned life choices

Weaving Worlds: A Journey Across Traditions

My own path has been a weaving of worlds:

The analytical lens of Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalysis in France.
The healing touch of Thai massage and the stillness of Vipassana in Thailand.
The depth of Yoga and Ayurveda.
The humility learned from Senegal — its material simplicity, animist roots, and the poetic mysticism of Sufi Islam.
The opening of consciousness through plant medicine journeys in Colombia and Costa Rica.
The Medicine Wheel teachings of the North American Twisted Hair tradition — whose purpose is to braid together all ancestral knowledge to guide us back into balance with nature and with ourselves.

All of these threads meet here, in this retreat. Not as a “method,” but as a living experience.

Who is this for?This is not a retreat you join, “have an experience,” and then move on. It’s a turning point.Some arrive exhausted, burned out, or trapped in patterns carried for years. Others are in transition — facing a health challenge, navigating a big life change, or simply longing for deeper alignment.

What matters is not where you come from, but your willingness to be present, to be challenged, and to explore both science and spirit in service of a well-lived life. You don’t need to know yoga or meditation or be familiar with any tradition — just come as you are, ready to be brave. Whatever brings you, the work is the same: to reconnect with the truth of your body, the clarity of your mind, and the courage of your spirit.I don’t promise comfort - I promise (your) truth.
