Retraite au cœur des Landes du 11 au 13 avril 2025
Bienvenue chez toi
What stops us from daring? This is a topic that has particularly driven me for years, because for me, it is the key to our fulfillment. The soul came to this beautiful Earth to embody itself, to experience matter and spread its art, yet it often seems hindered, constricted in its expression. Do you feel that too? This sensation that something very grand wants to radiate from all sides, something even limitless. But when we keep it inside, when we don’t dare, we live a rather monotonous, restricted life, without really knowing how to give it meaning. And as you’ve understood, I find that… a real shame 😀
So let’s go, let’s dare!
La retraite
Here we are, 3 days and 2 nights in the heart of the Landes forest together to unlock all of that and ensure that this immense soul lets its immensity burst forth! It’s beautiful, personally I say yes. What about you? Imagine a retreat with yourself, to come and meet yourself and settle internally. Just like this sublime place in the heart of the Landes forest that will welcome us into its cradle.
A retreat with yourself, but also from your life, your daily routine, the identity you’ve built, because for me, that’s the true meaning of this word. To retreat to find oneself, and then share it with the world. This world that moves so fast and in which we want to accomplish many things, often leaving little room for self-fulfillment. So I propose something to you: if it’s fast outside, let’s slow down inside. Does that tempt you? Then let’s continue 🙂
Ce que nous explorerons
If you follow me a bit, you’ve probably seen different facets of me, ranging from transmitting profound teachings to going out in the street dressed as a Care Bear to hug people. And then between the two, various projects, workshops, conferences where I express myself, I talk about love, daring, confidence.
Why am I telling you this? Simply because I didn’t do any of this before. Shy, uncomfortable in my own skin, terrified of public speaking… Yes, some don’t believe me when I say it, but I assure you it’s true. So what’s the secret? Well, it’s very simple: be REAL. So simple, yet so delicate. We don’t dare simply because we don’t dare to be authentic, to be ourselves. Shall we take the journey together?
"N'oublie pas que tes pensées créent ta réalité. Si tu penses que cette résolution est difficile, commence par croire qu'elle est facile."
Citation de moi-même 🙂
- Would you like to take action but don’t dare?
- Do you judge yourself, do you feel like you’re not enough?
- Do you constantly compare yourself to others?
- Do you feel like you’re playing a role to fit in?
- Do you have trouble feeling what’s happening inside you?
- Are you often caught up in heavy thoughts?
- Do you have difficulty expressing yourself authentically?
- Do you know something is bubbling inside you but you can’t offer it to the world?
Being yourself goes through different stages, and in this retreat, I will share with you those that allowed me to unlock all these super levels, and that you too will unlock. It brings me joy just writing it, because in my opinion, there is nothing more beautiful than fully expressing oneself in one’s art, from one’s being. When I say “art,” be careful, I’m not talking about a particular profession or function, because we would then fall back into the conditioning that precisely restricts us. Art for me is your unique expression, your uniqueness, that which makes you YOU and no one else.

Activities
The 3 days will be structured around 3 main axes: introspection, radiance, and integration, centered on the theme of “Dare”.

The retreat will be punctuated by short moments of free time necessary for integration, reflection, and introspection. You can enjoy the place at your leisure during these moments (no phone, as a reminder) and we will plan some sharing afterwards.

Some pictures of the place
Thanks for their testimonials 🙏
I’ve attended many workshops and courses, and it feels so good to find someone who sets a framework that is both structured and sensitive, allowing me to feel completely safe to experience what I needed to. Each of Youval’s proposals is an invitation to let go of the mind, the to-do lists of things to release or improve, to truly plant oneself in the present moment, which is by far the most restorative of all possibilities. It’s about facing a principle of reality, it’s about facing oneself (finally!), it’s also about learning to face the other, to truly meet them. All the practices he offers deserve to be much better known by us Westerners, disconnected from our obvious truths and stuck in our heads. Everything I’ve done with Youval has been truly positive and salvific for me. I found something there that I’ve rarely found elsewhere. Thank you, Youval!
Léa
I’ve had the opportunity to experience several sound baths in recent years, but Youval’s recent one opened me to a subtle plane I had never felt before. Thank you, Youval, for this pure and subtle experience, for this moment of presence and deep regeneration.
Alexia
Thank you very much, Youval, for the space you opened for me. A neutral space where I could release all the emotions I had been suppressing for months, which were blocking me in my professional and romantic life. It did me a world of good, I recommend your treatments with my eyes closed. Thank you again.
Fanny
Last night, extraordinary transmutations occurred. I wrote a letter explaining what I felt, and what I still feel, especially this fear of getting hit… again. I feel like I’m in transition, ready to move on. It’s vibrating within me.
Jérémy
I had the sensation of a deep and instantaneous healing, like I might have had with 6 months of alternative therapies that I usually practice.
Alexis
I am so happy I listened to myself by signing up for Youval’s workshop. He has a gift for creating a safe and benevolent space where we are invited to authentically express what we are experiencing in the moment.
Katrien
I felt as if I was pierced through; what I experienced will impact many areas of my life.
Élodie
I don’t know if it’s the delayed effect of the truth circle, but no doubt breaches were opened in my wall. I just spent at least 20 minutes crying, and I hadn’t cried in 20 years. Thank you for that.
Isabelle
Gratitude to you, Youval, for taking me into your universe for a session full of emotions, where you coached me and allowed me to explore spaces that will help me go even further in my authenticity. Thank you, you are magical!!

Quelques mots sur moi
For several years, I have been passionate about the power of presence, and I am happy to now combine it with the power of authenticity. This allows for extremely profound transformations to occur effortlessly, simply by being oneself. How do we meet beyond our masks, who are we really? This is what I wish to convey to you.
Today, I feel immense joy in my role as a teacher and therapist, guiding people to connect with their deep self and accept all parts of themselves. It is by fully and authentically revealing ourselves that we can be complete and be the true creators of our lives.
