“The only true journey is not the one to new landscapes, but the one to a new perspective on yourself.”
– Marcel Proust

Olivier Vaneeckhout

I offer you a time out and a safe space to find balance and live your authentic life. You are:

— Experiencing life transitions: Such as going through a divorce, career changes, health issues and you are looking for direction.

— Dealing with work related stress: You are coping with stress, exhaustion or burnout and you are looking for a time out.

— Seeking personal growth: You desire a deeper connection with your inner values. You crave depth and adventure.

— A young adult: You are facing pressures of societal expectations and need clear direction. You are at risk of depression and anxiety.

— A coach, therapist, facilitator or psychiatrist: You are in need of a new or deeper direction and inspiration.

— A group of friends:  Your group of friends is looking to deepen connections in a meaningful way.

— A corporate team or organisation: Your organization is seeking a refreshed sense of purpose, navigating transitions or seeking stronger internal cohesion.

Conscious Soul Connection by Olivier Vaneeckhout

Personalized guidance for yourself or for your group.

Individual Guidance

This 1-on-1 setting allows for flexibility to customize your program to be fully adapted to your needs. It also ensures a confidential environment where you can openly discuss sensitive issues. You receive my full attention, ensuring that I can delve deeply into subjects relevant to you. 

Group Retreats in France

Group retreats typically have a predefined program and theme. Participating in a group retreat allows you to meet and interact with participants who share similar interests or challenges. This community aspect provides a network of support that can continue beyond your retreat. 

Guidance for Groups

Customized guidance for your group involves creating a tailored retreat experience designed to meet the specific needs of your group, whether it’s your corporate team, your organisation or group of friends. Every aspect of the retreat is built to align with your group’s specific needs.

Conscious Soul Connection

The impact on you.

1. Recognition

The challenges you are facing are not exceptional but rather a common experience many face in the current fast and chaotic times. These experiences and feelings are part of a normal private or professional journey.

2. Stress Reduction

Your stay is in an eco-friendly nature setting and activities like body massage will give you relaxation.

3. Nature Connection

Activities such as guided walks and reflection sessions in nature will lead you to a more balanced mental health.

4. Physical Well-being

Physical activities such as walking, swimming or biking contribute to improved physical well-being.

5. Actionable Insights

Conversations aimed at translating insights into actions could significantly impact your ability to make meaningful life changes.

6. Personal growth

Personal insights and ongoing conversations will help you understand your intrinsic motivations and personal challenges.

7. Sustained Support

Post-retreat follow-up sessions ensure ongoing support and help maintain momentum in your personal development journey.

“Villa Sainte Marie is a place of grounding and introspection. It’s the perfect spot to slow down, allowing for a deeper dive into one’s own themes and creativity. With hosts who are discreetly present, instinctively understanding what you need and available whenever necessary.”

Gino Peremans

Transformational Executive coach

“This is a great place to re-connect with yourself and have the best possible experience in the south of France together with nice people.”

Villa Sainte Marie, Limoux

Villa Sainte Marie is an exceptional place located in the village of Limoux. The main nearby cities are Carcasonne (25km), Narbonne (90km), Toulouse (100km) and Perpignan (150km)

Limoux is internationally well known for its carnival and for producing sparkling wine, Blanquette de Limoux. It is close to the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean Sea.

Villa Sainte Marie will be your home where you will stay in the main house with cute blue shutters or in a beautiful wooden house, both with a small kitchen. The land is covered with flowers and fruit trees on 13,000 square meters. Fresh healthy drinking water is provided from the neighbouring town of Alet-Les-Bains.

The house is built on a hill with 5 different ground levels. The sun is very present as the land is oriented to the south. The centre of Limoux is in walking distance with many shops, restaurants and a Friday market with fresh vegetables, local cheese and specialities.
