Why choose this retreat?
Charmain and Rosemary have trained in powerful and effective trauma release methods and have personally experienced the challenges and confusions that can arise during this process. They have undergone significant shifts in perceptual awareness and now enjoy profound changes in both peace of mind and everyday life. Having resolved patterns of lack, grievance, worth, and limitation, they have reclaimed a deep joy for life, living, and human connection.
Participants are individually assessed before arriving at the retreat, and the programme is tailored to their specific needs. This personalised approach, combined with a small group environment, provides both one-on-one healing and group dynamic support for integration.
During the retreat, we share evidence-based trauma release exercises, drawing upon practices such as internal family systems, EMDR, and somatic emotional release. We also incorporate biodynamic breathwork and trauma release (TM), along with inspiration from spiritual traditions, including Advaita Vedanta, Buddhist Fetter work, and A Course in Miracles. This combination of shadow release and awareness practices creates a powerful potential for mind release and Self-realisation.
Accommodation & Food
The accommodation is a spacious luxury townhouse set against the medieval backdrop of the renowned town of Lauzerte. It features a stunning terrace with panoramic views, elegant décor, and a tranquil location. Lovingly restored with great attention to detail, the property retains its historic charm and offers a profound sense of safety and serenity.

5 Day Retreat Itinerary
We value the natural flow and adaptability of each retreat, keeping our itinerary focused yet flexible. Our commitment is to optimal healing for everyone while respecting individual needs throughout the process. While we embrace the organic unfolding of the retreat, we offer the following outline as a possible schedule.
Each day begins with heart-opening prayers and cacao, followed by gentle meditation and somatic release exercises. A teaching session then introduces the philosophies behind each healing modality, covering Internal Family Systems, trauma healing with EMDR, nervous system regulation, somatic release, ego dynamics, and repurposing life experiences for personal transformation. These experiential sessions help participants build a personal toolkit of complementary healing methods to continue their journey beyond the retreat.
Following the morning session, participants will either receive a one-on-one session or engage in a personalised healing exercise.
After lunch, the group will participate in a Biodynamic Breathwork session, followed by sharing and integration. The late afternoon includes additional one-on-one sessions or personalised exercises before winding down for dinner.
Each evening, we gather for a nourishing dinner, using this time for authentic communication, reflection, and shared support. We come together in community to explore what connection means to us as individuals. There is also space for joy—laughing, dancing, and celebrating love and togetherness.
Post Retreat Support & Intergration
Rosemary and Charmain will continue to support you on your healing journey beyond the retreat, offering two follow-up one-on-one sessions as part of the programme. It is essential that any shifts and transformations are integrated into your daily life. We understand that these changes may impact your personal relationships and life goals, and we are here to support you as you take this step.
In addition to the retreat programme, we invite you to join the Sanatio Community, connecting with like-minded individuals on a similar path. This includes access to daily support groups, one-on-one sessions, and community retreats, workshops, and events.
