ROOT & RISE - 5-Day Herbal & Mind-Body Healing: Restore your inner balance, Learn how to sustain it
With Laetitia Luzi and Yannick Idmond
June 17 - 21, 2026
SOOTHE & EMPOWER YOUR INNER BALANCE WITH TRADITIONAL HERBALISM AND MIND-BODY PRACTICES
Feel renewed, reclaim calm, restore balance — and leave with lifelong tools to care for your well-being and nervous system.
This 5-day immersive retreat is designed for anyone feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally drained, or simply longing for a deeper sense of peace and clarity. In a lush and tranquil setting, you’ll be guided through a powerful combination of herbal wisdom, emotional care tools, and collective healing experiences.
You’ll discover how plants can nurture the nervous system and emotional health through interactive and sensory herbal workshops — learning not only how to use them safely and effectively, but also how to connect with the ones that are most aligned with your own needs. You’ll also experience guided hypnotherapy sessions, nature-based practices, guided meditation, and supportive group reflection to help restore inner calm and resilience. A relaxing shiatsu session early in the retreat will help settle both body and mind.
All of this unfolds in the magical environment of Loural Ecovillage, nestled between mountains, forest, river, and gardens. You’ll have full access to the natural pool, waterfall, sauna, swimming pools, and peaceful spaces for integration and rest. Here, nature is not just a backdrop — it’s part of your healing journey.
Led by experienced, certified practitioners, this retreat is not just a break — it’s a turning point. You’ll return home with a renewed nervous system, a clearer mind, and a personalized toolkit to sustain your emotional balance and support your long-term well-being.
