Domaine Lescure Retreats

We are Thomas van Praag and Véronique Van Hoye, a Dutch entrepreneur and a Belgian-born lover of all things beautiful. We’re a creative couple whose adventure to restore an abandoned estate in France has turned into a journey of spiritual and personal growth.
We guide people home to Self by integrating the healing power of IFS, nature and beauty.

We help people find their way home to Self through Internal Family Systems, nature & beauty, on an estate we are lovingly restoring, wabi sabi style.

Winter sun in the main salon. A quiet moment of melancholy now that two lovely IFS retreat guests have departed. Silence, warmth and space, before a new guest arrives tomorrow.

Happy New Year !

We said goodbye to 2025 under a thick blanket of snow. A week without electricity has a way of stripping things back to what matters: warmth, resilience, and finding a way forward when plans fall apart. I shared more about these days on the blog ( link in bio).

As we step into a new year and prepare to welcome our first winter retreat guests tomorrow, everything feels grounded and simple.

Snow-covered trees, a quiet château, and no electricity. The snow took down several trees and a power line. Candlelight and a wood stove for Christmas Eve tonight.

Wishing you Happy Holidays filled with love and joy!

Snow-covered trees, a quiet château, and no electricity. The snow took down several trees and a power line. Candle light and a wood stove. Back to the basics this Christmas Eve.

Wishing you warmth and joy for the Holidays!

Last month we welcomed the team from The Present and Room for Change for an IFS Retreat. Between deep sessions, SoulCollage, and Forest Bathing in the woods, moments unfolded naturally. Quiet reflection, some tears and laughter too. The house and the land held it all, part by part. Thank you @jennifer__dennison, @marnixgeus and @suzanneglorie for your courage and open hearts!

Read the full blog for a glimpse into this retreat. Link in bio.

And we're thrilled to host our first winter retreats this January: a new chapter in the quiet magic of Lescure. If you're a last-minute person, there's still room to join us. Just sends us a message.

Between parts work and presence: the inner child remembering how to play. This is what integration looks like at our IFS Intensive Retreats. Grateful to @suzanneglorie for sharing a moment of inner child joy.

If you want to start the New Year in Self, there's 1 spot left for our January 2nd retreat. Link in bio.

Winter chores in the orchard. Dead asparagus fronds, bare branches. Thomas is making space for what's next.

If you're feeling that pull too...the quiet whisper that it's time for something new, or simply more of Self, our 2026 IFS retreat dates are now live on the website. Link in bio.

I love leaving a small gift for our IFS retreat guests, books on wabi sabi and forest bathing, reminders to slow down and find beauty in the quiet corners of life.

This image, seeing them stacked and ready, brings me back to why we hold IFS Intensive Retreats: to create space for rest, reflection and a gentle return to Self.

Our winter retreat starts on January 2nd. We have 2 spots left if you feel called to join us. Link in bio.
