POESY
Opening to the Immensity
July 1st - July 4th, 2026
with Alice Girard
MEGÈVE, FRANCE
Step into a realm where softness meets depth,
Each moment a canvas for wild explorations.
A symphony of life unfolds,
Where movement and mindfulness intertwine with worlds unknown.
In poetic escapes, we dance and weave,
Exploring the nuances, the shadows, the depths we unveil.
Spaces of care emerge, where healing takes root,
Exploration and expansion mark the onset of our quest.
Through vulnerability, we discover renewed strength,
Peeling back layers to reveal the core of our existence,
Deepening connections as hearts open wide
Discover the poetry within, transcending both space and time,
Pause and surrender in sanctuaries of the soul.
Let go of fears, dissolve barriers, and allow love to navigate,
In this sacred space, hearts ignite, souls dance.
Feel invited to our first retreat in the French Alps, just a short distance from Megève. Step into a realm of softness & poetry.
A retreat shaped by nature’s rhythm, balancing between slowness and aliveness.
Join Alice for a transformative immersion in an intimate luxury 5-star chalet, where you will journey from the physical to the subtle, discovering the poetry of body & soul and delve into the depths of your being. Allow yourself to pause, surrender & embrace the journey inward.
THE CHALET
The intimate charm of a luxury 5-star Chalet and its private Spa, offering a seamless connection with nature, facing Mont-Blanc.
In the heart of the French Alps, a stone’s throw from Megève, the Chalet & Spa les Cerises welcomes you to an unspoilt natural setting, surrounded by forests, mountain streams, alpine pastures and majestic peaks. The chalet promises a haven of serenity
& refinement, featuring a remarkable practice space. The interiors are a harmonious blend of noble woods, precious textiles and discreet technologies, creating an exceptional stay where every detail counts. Each one of the four rooms has been meticulously designed to create an atmosphere where elegance rhymes with absolute comfort.
ALICE GIRARD
Her teaching is based on gentleness and kindness, listening to others & to yourself and the search for physical, mental & emotional well-being. Her practice, combined with her various training courses and meetings, led her to create her method “The Softness of Flexibility”.
Her Method
The Softness of Flexibility, a unique, sensitive, profound & liberating method combining yoga, pilates, somatic practices and sound bath to explore your infinite possibilities, discover physical, mental & emotional well-being& reconnect with your most authentic self.
She invites you to dive into a soft & poetic universe. To let yourself be guided on an intimate journey into yourself, to create space and softness by exploring your body & your heart. To feel, observe, discover, let yourself be carried away in this poetic interlude suspended outside time. It is an invitation to love. To dance with the invisible. With the poetry of the body, the softness of the heart, the infinity of the soul.
