The Retreat
“The Mindful Mill is an antidote to the modern world;
it is a place of true beauty and peace.”
Why choose The Mindful Mill
Welcome to paradise...The Mindful Mill is an idyllic hideaway in the medieval village of Sauve in the South of France. It is the perfect retreat destination; here you are invigorated by the beauty of nature and soothed by the peaceful ambience that ripples through the village. Sauve is a unique spot, known for its bohemian atmosphere and its alternative community - you will find an abundance of holistic therapies and creative folk creating a richness that makes Sauve an incredibly special part of the world.
As soon as you arrive at The Mindful Mill, you will immediately start to unwind. The tranquil garden – complete with a pool, a hot tub and front-seat river views – will calm the busiest of minds, and our private dock will immediately invite your worries to sail away. Here you will be able to rest, relax and recharge as you enjoy yoga and meditation sessions, rambles through the rugged countryside, strolls around the historical village centre and pool side bathing as you get lost in that book you’ve been meaning to read for months! The retreat focusses on mindful living, so mindfulness is at the heart of everything that we do. We hope that our retreat will be more than just time to rest and reset; we endeavour to provide an experience that will stay with you forever by providing mindfulness coaching that you can use in your daily life, enabling you to retreat to a calm place in your mind whenever you need to.
What we offer
Our 3-day Retreat package includes transfers, 3 yoga sessions, 6 meditation sessions, a Qui gong class, a 90 minute ramble through La Mer de Rochers (The Sea of Rocks), a forest bathing session, unlimited use of the pool, hot tub and all other facilities at The Mindful Mill as well as breakfast and lunch. We can also arrange for any additional sessions/ treatments for you during your stay if you wish to experience a larger slice of the holistic therapies available here in Sauve. Below we have a list of recommended accommodation available in Sauve - most people prefer to book it themselves but we are more than happy to book it on your behalf if preferred. There is a fantastic selection of restaurants (including take-away) in the village that we are confident you will enjoy - in our experience of hosting retreats we find that most participants prefer to eat out of an evening hence why we do not include dinner in our package, however if this is a problem, please do let us know and we will be happy to make alternative arrangements for you. Contact us to find out more. We look forward to welcoming you to The Mindful Mill.
Disclaimer – Whilst we are able to help in any way we can with booking and securing your accommodation (the cost of which will simply be added to the retreat fee), we cannot take any responsibility for your accommodation experience. We do, however, only recommend accommodation that we have seen ourselves and hope that our recommendations will be suitable for your needs. Similarly, whilst we can recommend and book additional sessions/ treatments, we cannot take any responsibility for your experience of these additional services and payment must be made direct to the practitioner/ business owner. Please note, we do not have parking available at The Mindful Mill, however there are various carparks in Sauve, all within 5 minute walking distance from us.
