Yoga & Gong Bath Retreat Experience

Corsica 15 – 21 May 2026

Whispers of Courage

The Power of Change, Self-Love, and Prosperity

Cultivate the Meditative Mind and Activate your Intuition, guided by Movement, Active Meditation, Sound Healing and Mantra

We are delighted to invite you to Whispers of Courage, an exclusive retreat set on Corsica—“The Island of Beauty.” For seven transformative nights, you’ll be welcomed at Villa Flaka, a beautiful haven in Cargèse with open views of the Mediterranean Sea, just a short distance from the shore. This sanctuary offers the perfect setting to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and awaken the courage needed to embrace change, embody self-love, and create true prosperity in your life.

Corsica, with its rugged mountains, hidden coves, and breathtaking coastline, has long been a land of renewal and quiet transformation. Having hosted already two retreats here before, we know its natural beauty gently supports inner work, amplifying every practice and intention with a touch of the mystical. Surrounded by this brilliance, you will be guided on a journey of courage, creativity, and connection.

Retreat Theme

Courage as the Gateway to Transformation

Change is an undeniable part of life—yet it so often awakens resistance, fear, and self-doubt. Whispers of Courage invites you to meet change not as a burden, but as a teacher. Here, fear is transformed into fuel, and obstacles become stepping stones toward growth. Through embodied practices, meditation, and the healing resonance of sound, you will rediscover and nurture the foundation of self-love—the fertile ground from which true transformation blossoms.

When self-love deepens, courage arises with ease. It empowers you to step beyond limitations, dissolve old patterns, and trust the unfolding of your path. From this place of inner alignment, the heart opens, clarity expands, and joy flows naturally. Prosperity in its most authentic form emerges when courage meets compassion—when you dare to honor your deepest desires while cultivating harmony within.

By attuning to the whispers of courage within, you will learn to quiet the noise of self-doubt, soften the grip of fear, and awaken the strength to live fully, freely, and authentically.

Together we will journey through profound inner explorations—awakening awareness, shedding stress, and igniting vitality. We will welcome new perspectives, support the body and mind in healing, and, most importantly, rejuvenate the nervous system while cultivating the gift of an open heart. An open heart offers both refuge and renewal; it is the wellspring of self-love, guiding you to embrace change with grace and to walk prosperously into the life that awaits you.

What to Expect

Over the course of this week-long retreat, you will be guided through:

• Dynamic and Restorative Practices designed to release blockages, expand energy, and connect body and mind.
• Active and Silent Meditations to strengthen focus, cultivate clarity, and deepen presence.
• Sound Gong Baths that elevate vibration and create inner spaciousness.
• Breathwork and Transformative Practices to dissolve limiting beliefs, reframe fear, and awaken new pathways to growth.

Each day will combine movement, meditation, and integration, helping you build resilience, self-trust, and a deeper sense of connection. You’ll not only recharge your energy but also gain practical tools to carry courage, self-love, and prosperity into your daily life long after the retreat ends.

This retreat is an invitation to rise into your courage—to soften into your heart, embody your authentic self, and create space for a prosperous and fulfilling future.
