ACCELERATED PRIVATE HEALING: TAILORED ONE-ON-ONE IFS RETREATS FOR LEADERS

Being a founder, entrepreneur, PEP or CEO is a deeply demanding journey. For  business owners, executives, and other top performers, the highs are exhilarating, but the pressures—decision fatigue, financial risk, heavy responsibilities, and personal sacrifices—can take a toll.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) encourages us to explore our inner parts with curiosity and compassion. Unlike traditional talk therapy, which often focuses on suppressing or changing them, in IFS, every part is welcomed and valued.

INTENSIVES

We have daily, elongated IFS sessions. This intensive approach and retreat setting bring about a deep-dive experience, allowing you to achieve in a single stay what might take months in traditional therapy. You can stay connected with (re)discovered parts in a compassionate way, in an uninterrupted space needed for deep healing.  This approach, backed by neuroscience, strengthens new neural pathways, and supports lasting transformation and meaningful change. Neuroplasticity in full effect.

PRIVACY

We understand the importance of privacy for high-level leaders. Our One-on-One IFS Retreats are designed to be fully confidential, held in our secluded French estate, ensuring complete discretion and a safe space for deep healing. During your bespoke retreat,your healing journey remains exclusive and secure.


Why would you choose a One-on-One IFS Retreat?

  • You don’t have the time to devote to weekly therapy sessions. Your demanding schedule requires a focused, accelerated approach.
  • Your circumstances make a private, one-on-one setting essential.
  • You sense a profound shift or transformation approaching in your life or career.
  • Traditional therapy or coaching hasn’t created the breakthrough you’re seeking.
  • You have big dreams and ambitions – but feel stuck and overwhelmed and sometimes close to burning out altogether. IFS guides you to embrace and navigate fear and other challenges rather than suppress them.
  • You just sold your business and are wondering what’s next, seeking a path that aligns with your values and deeper sense of purpose. Some of your parts are struggling to adjust to your new financial reality.
  • You feel drawn to nature, beauty, and stillness as essential parts of your healing journey.

Now, imagine diving deeper into your healing by spending a few days in a French château. Surrounded by 44 hectares of natural beauty, right in the middle of the Parc des Grands Causses, a UNESCO World Heritage site. With no neighbours within kilometers, privacy and tranquility are assured—allowing you to retreat fully into your own journey, undisturbed.

Throughout the year, we offer One-on-One IFS Retreats in French, English, and Dutch. Perfect for both newcomers to IFS and those with advanced experience, these intensive retreats offer a powerful space for reflection, growth, and reinvention. Your hosts and expert coaches, Thomas and Véronique, bring a unique and complementary approach. Thomas, a former business owner, has firsthand experience in navigating transitions and reinventing oneself. With a corporate background and intuitive gifts, Véronique integrates SoulCollage®, Dreamwork, and the quiet beauty of Wabi Sabi to help you embrace all parts of yourself with compassion and curiosity. Together, they create an impactful experience tailored to your needs.

Domaine Lescure provides the perfect environment to facilitate profound healing and transformation; nature and beauty in abundance and uninterrupted time to tend to the Self.

 

What is Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Internal Family Systems (IFS or Parts Work) is based on the premise that the human mind is multiple by nature – and fortunately so! It consists of parts interacting with each other and the outside world, just like members of a family do. Underlying these parts is the Self, compassionate, calm, curious, creative… the Self can never be harmed.

Parts protect the system, without them we would not function. But, especially when wounded, they can take on extreme roles and act in a destructive way.

Nonetheless, parts always have a positive intent.

 

IFS takes a non-pathologising stance. People might have (wounded) parts who got stuck in the past, but all healing resources are within each of us and can be accessed by turning to these parts with curiosity and Self energy.

IFS is most often used as a transformative, evidence-based psychotherapy, but it is also a thoroughly beautiful way of looking at life.

Watch dr. Richard Schwartz, founder of IFS explain the role of Self and parts.

 


ONE-ON-ONE IFS RETREATS FOR LEADERS

WHY Intensives- Leaders
– WHY –
Are IFS One-on-Ones right for you?

Did you know that most inner healing happens in the hours following your IFS session? At least, when you remain in the zone and you stay connected with the parts you’ve just rediscovered.

 

By allowing these parts to experience Self-energy, and giving them the love they crave, you create new neurological connections — the essence of healing.

 

Studies in neuroscience (from Harvard and other universities) have shown that these practices can lead to measurable change in brain structure and function. This evidence-based understanding highlights the importance of giving yourself time to integrate experiences from therapy, as it allows your brain to reinforce new patterns and support lasting transformation.

 

Our IFS One-on-Ones maximize this crucial integration time.
