the retreat:

Join Morgan O'Hare and Bailey Wesselmann, along with their partners, for an unforgettable 7-day Couples Retreat in the heart of Provence at a stunning private villa in the Luberon. Whether you're joining with a romantic partner, a close friend, or a family member, this retreat is centered around JOY—taking it easy, indulging in the simple pleasures of life, and creating meaningful connections in an intimate and relaxed environment. Ryan O'Hare will be capturing beautiful moments throughout the retreat, so you can fully immerse yourself in the experience while preserving the memories.

This retreat is all about presence, pleasure, and play. Sleep in a little longer, savor incredible French-inspired meals by our private chef, move your body through joyful yoga practices, and enjoy leisurely afternoons lounging by the private pool, playing tennis, or exploring the countryside.

The Villa

Set in the rolling hills of the Luberon, our luxurious private villa is a dream destination for rest and relaxation. With a private pool, tennis court, sprawling gardens, and stunning views, it offers the perfect mix of elegance and comfort. The villa is just a 30-minute stroll from the picturesque village of Gordes, allowing for easy exploration of local cafés, markets, and historic streets.

Couples are encouraged to rent a car together (two couples per car recommended) for flexibility in exploring the surrounding region.

yoga & programming

Each morning, coffee and a light breakfast (fresh fruit, yogurt, etc.) will be available before we gather for a 9:00 AM morning yoga practice. These all-levels dynamic vinyasa flow sessions will be infused with breathwork, meditation, and connection exercises to cultivate joy, intimacy, and presence.

In the afternoons, we will have two dedicated partner workshops:

  • Partner Yoga & Inversions Workshop – A playful and empowering session exploring backbends, partner-assisted poses, and inversions.

  • Yin & Thai Massage Workshop – A relaxing and deeply connective workshop incorporating elements of Thai massage and assisted yin stretching.

The rest of the afternoons are completely free for you to enjoy at your own pace—whether that means unwinding by the pool, playing tennis, exploring the surrounding villages, or simply soaking in the beauty of the French countryside.

Nourishment

Our private chef will prepare delicious French-inspired meals that celebrate fresh, seasonal ingredients. Think healthy-ish gourmet cuisine, including a variety of French classics with a lighter, nourishing twist—and, of course, dessert! The chef can accommodate special diets as needed.

  • Morning: Coffee and light breakfast (fresh fruit, yogurt, etc.)

  • 11:00 AM Brunch: A big spread with egg dishes, fresh bread, local cheeses, and more

  • 5:00 PM Spritz & Snacks: Enjoy classic French aperitifs (spritz, wine, beer) with chef-prepared snacks by the pool

  • 6:30 PM Dinner: A beautiful multi-course meal with a glass or two of wine included

All food and drink at the villa are included, but participants are welcome to bring their own alcohol if they have specific preferences. Any dining or drinks outside the villa will be at participants' own expense.

WhAT We will do

This retreat is all about embracing joy, presence, and connection in the breathtaking countryside of Provence. Designed for couples, close friends, or family members, each day invites you to slow down, savor life’s simple pleasures, and create unforgettable memories together.

Mornings will begin with a light breakfast followed by a dynamic yoga practice infused with breathwork, meditation, and partner connection exercises. These sessions are designed to cultivate intimacy, playfulness, and a deep sense of presence with yourself and your partner.

Afternoons are yours to enjoy at your own pace—lounge by the private pool, play a game of tennis, take a scenic stroll to the nearby village of Gordes, or simply relax and soak in the beauty of the Luberon countryside. Throughout the week, we will also come together for two special partner workshops—one focusing on playful yoga and inversions, and the other on restorative yin yoga and Thai massage techniques for deep relaxation and connection.

As the sun begins to set, we’ll gather for aperitifs and chef-prepared snacks by the pool before indulging in a multi-course French-inspired dinner, complete with a glass (or two) of wine. Evenings are all about unwinding, connecting, and enjoying the magic of this luxurious retreat setting.

This retreat is an invitation to embrace ease, playfulness, and meaningful connection in one of the most picturesque places in the world. Whether you’re deepening your yoga practice, savoring exquisite meals, or simply enjoying the slow pace of Provence, each moment is designed to bring joy, relaxation, and a sense of togetherness.
