Step away from daily life and give yourself a chance to focus on what’s important; allow yourself to spend a few precious days in nature practising mindfulness and set clear intentions for how to improve your wellness in the long term. But these are no ordinary retreats….. Here’s where our experiences differ from your run-of-the-mill wellness retreat — you’ll be guided through the entire process by a professional life and leadership coach. This facilitator will work with you to ensure you return to your daily life with a clear path forward and a framework to achieve it.
Our 4-night women’s wellness and mindfulness retreats are designed to help foster connection with yourself, others, and nature. Located in Morzine in the mountains of the French Alps, you can expect stunning scenery; delicious, locally sourced, gourmet food; and movement that grounds and challenges in equal measure, from yoga and meditation to exhilarating mountain hikes and wild swimming.

It’s a carefully crafted and guided experience to help you align with both your inner purpose and the outer world — enabling you to move forward with intention.
Why go on our wellness & mindfulness retreat for women?
Whether it’s time to leave your job, pursue an entrepreneurial endeavor, or you need to redefine yourself after a life or relationship change; our retreats are designed to help you uncover new layers of wellbeing and inner purpose, whilst being surrounded by a circle of like-minded women.
Our women’s retreats involve solitary practices like journaling and meditation, as well as group experiences and coaching that deepen connection, understanding, and shared support. You’ll experience beautiful scenery, nourishing food, and a breadth of physical experiences: from exhilarating mountain hikes and wild swimming to the slow, grounding movements of yoga and Qi Gong.
Your coaching work with our professional life and leadership coach, Caitlin Cockerton, begins before the retreat; is deepened with one-to-one and group coaching throughout the experience; and is integrated with a post-retreat session, supporting you in the return to daily life. You will leave equipped with inner resources and resilience, a clear path forward and a framework to venture onwards.
Seasonal, nourishing, gourmet
It is always Alikats' intention that the food they serve should be delicious, beautiful, nourishing, appropriately indulgent, and always made from scratch using the best available ingredients. Local and seasonal produce is at the heart of every dish, for reasons of sustainability but also because it is pure joy to eat food when it is perfectly ripe and ready to eat!
They love to share the wild treasures that they gather on their walks through the woods and the fields along with produce growing in the AliKats’ kitchen garden and from the local farms and then create dishes that showcase their delicate individual flavors and also how harmoniously they can work together.
Foraged ingredients inspire many of the dishes and also go into their own homemade tisanes, botanical syrups, kombucha, and kefir. By eating what is growing on their doorstep, they are following nature's cues as to what their bodies need most at that moment.
The retreats show how beautiful food can move with he rhythms of nature
Eating in harmony with the seasons also ensures they put vegetables at the center of the menus and this is one of the most important things the can do for your own health and for the health of the planet. Every meal is full of fresh fruits, herbs and vegetables, whole grains, nuts and seeds, and carefully chosen minimally processed dairy products from local farms.
They are mindful to provide you with the food that will best fuel you for the day ahead. Breakfasts, lunches, and snacks are designed to be cleansing, energizing, and sustaining in equal measure whereas the gourmet 3-course dinners are created to celebrate and honor the day's discoveries, spark delight, and trigger conversation to help enhance the connection between the group.
