Moorea
Surround yourself by nature and its unique marine life
OCTOBER 2025
Join us on this beautiful island and discover the magic of the South Pacific.
Come practice a daily blend of Yoga styles intended to gradually re-calibrate your entire system. Experience a deeper connection with nature and your body, while also learning about meditation and how to practice it in your daily life.
The aim is to reach a state of flow also known as “being in the zone”. A natural mental state produced by performing activities in full involvement and energized focus. Nature and your body will help you learn how to be more present, aware and relaxed.
Explore the best the island has to offer in our daily tours. We will hike with an experienced guide, swim with whales with a marine biologist, and sail in the ancient Polynesian way. This retreat has been designed to host a small group to ensure we provide the best experience for all.
Please note that Covid-19 vaccination is required to travel to French Polynesia.

The crystal-clear waters of the lagoon are home to a colorful array of fish and corals that you can see through the transparent kayak. Float over the reefs, stop for snorkeling, look for sea turtles and rays, and learn about traditional Polynesian culture from our guide.
Yoga
Practice yoga and meditation daily with Fabrizio Furlanis (visit our website’s About section for biography). We will explore different styles of yoga that blend with our daily activities. During the week, we will learn about the mind from a yogic perspective; what it is, how it works and what are the tools available in order to have a better control over it.
What led us to organize this retreat
Nowadays, people are experiencing feelings of disconnection and isolation. As Doctor Gabor Maté recently shared, we are living four types of alienation: Alienation from nature, alienation from work, alienation from society and alienation from ourselves. It can easily be noticed by observing the damages we are ultimately provoking to our planet…
Many have been feeling unsatisfied with their careers as they are unable to fully express their real talents or aspirations all while receiving undesirable salaries. External stimulation such as social media has been influencing our lives and not entirely in the most positive ways. It has been hindering our communication skills. Our social skills and ability to relate and understand others lack empathy and trust. Unfortunately, this feeling of disconnection reduces our ability to listen to our inner compass so it becomes more and more difficult to cope with stressors.
What to expect
The feeling of Isolation is just an illusion. What we perceive as reality is a process that involves our consciousness. The ego is just a network, a neuronal network. Yoga and meditation are the essential keys to dis-integrate this network.
When our body and mind are properly engaged we produce healthy neurochemicals that are highly beneficial to our health. Dopamine, endorphin, serotonin, oxytocin, anandamide, create neurobiological changes in the mind-body function. The results are tightened focus, fresh perspective, heightened perception, more connections between different ideas, lateral thinking and the loosing up of filters on incoming data.
Exploring more holistic approaches to cope with stress and anxiety is more important than ever if we wish to recalibrate our internal balance and inner strength. Being in nature all while being kinder to body and mind is a great start to re-connect.
