Our Story

Our Story

We bought this beautiful property in 2021 after moving from our home in England. We loved our small Airbnb back in the UK however Sarah’s love for spiritual empowerment mixed with Darren’s love of South France made this the perfect opportunity. Our property was built in 1768 and was extended in 1831. We love the balconies overlooking the rolling hills and lush forests, the location being a stones throw from the Holy town of Lourdes, everything down to its little blue shutters.  We have been busy renovating our home so that people from across the world get to enjoy it as much as us. Finished with beautiful décor, exemplary hospitality and highly skilled practitioners, we hope whilst sat reading this you can feel the homes powerful energies. If it’s inner peace, connecting with your true self  or unlocking your full potential, we can accommodate!

​

We know wellness comes from the outside as well as the inside, so our retreat is personalised to balance physical movement with time for rest and reflection; to nourish from within with wholesome, healthy food, and to soothe from the outside with tranquil, natural surroundings. Our retreat is located in the most stunning and peaceful setting, so that our guests can enjoy an enriching and memorable experience that will change the concept of daily life into moments of deep connection and appreciation. Founded by Sarah Navesey, 2022, The Soulful Retreat was born into fruition and it became more than just a personal story.

Since 2023, The Soulful Retreat has been creating unique and enriching retreat experiences for guests to enjoy. What started out as a personal journey and weekend workshop has grown into a transformative Spiritual Retreat that has changed lives. We offer retreats to address all aspects and every interest, so let us know what you need and we’ll help guide you in the right direction.
