Stoned Immaculate 

A Retreat into Wonder

April 29th - May 4th, 2025 

with Juan Sierra & Conor Byrnes 

HOSSEGOR, FRANCE

Step into the serene beauty of Hossegor, where ocean waves meet vast skies, and discover the awe of Stoned Immaculate. This retreat invites you to realize the profound perfection of reality —an immaculate awareness untouched by life’s fleeting storms. Rather this awareness nourishes and is vitalized by the dance of life’s patterns. 

 

Like the sky remains unscarred by clouds and tempests, like the ocean remains unharmed by the largest of waves, our essential nature —pure awareness— stands steadfast amid both pain and pleasure. And yet we learn to attune to life’s rhythms in order to sharpen our awareness and harmonize our sensations. When this practice becomes clear, we enter a state of mysterious freedom, where fear dissolves and the pull of ‘what’s next’ vanishes.

 

This is Stoned Immaculate: an exploration of awe, purity, and the realization that you are the vast sky itself, the deep ocean itself. Join us for six days of asana, meditation, pranayama, workshops, surfing, wellness treatments, sauna sessions, walks in the forest, grounding and exploring.

The Airial

In the heart of the pine forest, you will find an oasis of greenery for contemplation. Located 10 minutes away from the beaches and surf spots of Seignosse and Hossegor, the ‘Airial’ extends over five hectares and combines comfort, conviviality and intimacy. The Venue offers a collection of 5 buildings, where contemporary style meets the old, a 25m heated swimming pool, an outdoor sauna and a cold plunge. The 70m2 Shala that

will steal your heart the instant you set foot on the mat with its large windows opening onto the forest. The spacious bedrooms are all decorated with natural colors and materials, mixing brick, wood and large glazing with their own en-suite bathroom, a bathtub or a large walk-in shower. Some smaller and some larger, all rooms have views of the forest and are well appointed with quality in-room comforts.
