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 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.

Quiet corner in the château. A Sunday that exhales. Wishing you all a restful day. #wabisabi #beauty #sundayserenity #aestheticspaces #timelessinteriors #stillness #IFS #ifstherapy #ifsretreats #personalisedretreats #france @snijder.co

What if abundance isn't about taking everything li

What if abundance isn't about taking everything life offers, but about knowing when to leave a littke untouched as an act of grace? Thomas always leaves one quince on the tree, just like in Japanese Kimamori.

Read my blog about this act of gratitude and restraint through the link in bio.

Our IFS retreat season has now come to a close for this year. The house is quiet again, the orchard resting. We're now welcoming bookings for 2026. Dates are on our site.

Our first guest to take the wheel of the old Landrover and drive himself off the estate after the IFS retreat. When the 'boy who loves adventure' part resurfaces, all smiles. #ifsretreat #IFS #partswork #wabisabi #beautyofimperfection #retreatyourself #healingretreateurope #selfleadership #nature #oldlandrover

A tiny pause in a full IFS retreat, catching a bit of autumn sunshine in the old orangery. Happy Sunday from the château. #ifstherapy #ifsretreat #sundaystillness #wabisabi #IFS #beautyofimperfection #slowmoments #autumnlight #retreatyourself #personalisedretreats

Our new rereat is in full swing. SoulCollage® on the programme today, by the stove, while autumn stirs outside. Thinking back to last week's cozy session with 3 beautiful souls creating from the heart.

A quiet Sunday morning before the next IFS retreat

A quiet Sunday morning before the next IFS retreat begins. Writing morning papers by the stove, the house still, rain tapping on the windows. Tomorrow, new guests, new stories.

Waving goodbye to @suzanneglorie @marnixgeus and @jennifer__dennison after a week of deep inner journeys. Our old Landrover carrying replenished souls home from the château. Until next time...
