Nature Connection Micro Retreat
Sunday 11th May 09:30 - 14:00 / 14:30 : Le Bettey, Chamonix
Welcome to Nature Connection Micro Retreats in Chamonix, France
​
This is a chance to step away from your day to day life, to take a pause and reset your mind, emotions and nervous system. With a small group of like minded supportive people, we will immerse ourselves in the beautiful nature of Chamonix valley or a few amazing hours. This is also a chance to reflect on and share what is working well (and perhaps not so well in your life), to relax and recharge so you can be ready for the weeks and month ahead. ​
Who is this for?
​
This nature connection day is for people who are feeling the need to pause, breathe and reconnect - both with yourself and with something bigger. You might be in a time of transition, feeling a little burnt out, or simply looking for a deeper sense of presence and calm in your life.
​
It’s especially supportive for those who spend a lot of time thinking, doing, or caring for others - and are ready to take a few hours to be gently held by nature, rather than always holding things together yourself.
​
This experience is open to all curious and open-minded adults, whether you're new to mindfulness and nature practices or have been exploring them for years. You don’t need to be particularly “outdoorsy” or have any particular level of experience - just a willingness to walk, share, reflect and be present.​
​You might enjoy this if:
-
You’re seeking more clarity, perspective or direction in your life
-
You want to reset your nervous system and reduce stress or overwhelm
-
You’d like to feel more connected—to yourself, to nature, and to a kind, supportive group
-
You value time outdoors and appreciate the beauty of simple, meaningful moments
-
You’re curious about personal growth but don’t want anything too intense or “heavy”
The day is designed to be relaxed, grounding and restorative. The walk is accessible (5km distance with +- 250m vertical) and the practices are always optional - you’ll be invited, not instructed.
​
Whether you're local or visiting the Chamonix valley, this is an opportunity to slow down, step away from everyday busyness, and return home to yourself in a natural, peaceful setting.
​What to Expect:
​
-
A chance to slow down in nature: We will spend 5 hours together taking our time to connect with ourselves, with nature and with each other. The pace will be slow, we will spend time in stillness and silence as well as talking, laughing and exploring.
-
Practices to connect with self and nature: I will provide a number of invitations to help guide you into deeper connection with yourself and with nature in a mindful way. These practices come from a wide range of teachings and techniques, and you are free to work with them in whatever way works best for you.
-
Time for sharing with others: There will be opportunities at the start, during and at the end to share your insights, challenges, dreams and thoughts with the rest of the group. The tone will be supportive, and there will be no pressure to show up in any particular way, other than an agreement to be present, inclusive, genuine and curious towards each other and nature. We will be a maximum of 7 people including myself.
-
Group pique-nique lunch: A simple group lunch will be provided, and we will stop for a pique-nique, but feel free to bring food, drinks (non-alcoholic) and snacks to share with the group.
-
Easy hiking: Approximately 5km with 250m up / down.
-
A Relaxed schedule: Meet at 09.30 at Le Bettey car park (Between Le Coupeau and La Flatière above Chamonix), finish at the same place between 14:00 and 14:30.
