Our concept
Therapeutic travel: going away to transform yourself
Therapeutic travel combines three things usually kept apart: professional human support, immersion in a place and culture, and life in a small group. At its heart is personal transformation.
Why travel can help you rebuild
Encounter. A guide available every day, companions living through similar things, hosts whose culture invites gentleness.
Nature. Walking by the sea at dawn, planting, harvesting, adapting to the heat. Nature brings you back to the present.
The group. A small, stable group for a month creates rare trust. You feel less alone with your story.
Our method
- A daily talking circle led by a support professional
- Regular one-to-one sessions
- Taking part in farm work or useful activities
- Meditation, yoga and art therapy
- Philosophical "spiritual exercises" in the tradition of the ancient philosophers
- A real rest of two to three hours at the hottest time of day
A discovery call comes before departure, and remote follow-up after your return.
