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.
While wandering through an antique shop, I stumble While wandering through an antique shop, I stumbled upon an old Chinese statue. Unmistakenly him. The perfect embodiment of my inner hermit, whom I met through collage. Lately, I've been moving at the pace of The Hermit, slower and quieter. Our journey at Domaine Lescure has taken a beautiful turn inward. It's less about paint colours and power tools and more about presence and the quiet magic of IFS and SoulCollage®. My latest blog is a love letter to this next phase: one where the château holds space for the growth and transformation of our guests. If you're curious how SoulCollage®, IFS, and Wabi Sabi all fit into our French adventure, this one is for you. Link in bio.

Goodmorning! Welcome to Lescure's hall of mirrors. Goodmorning! Welcome to Lescure's hall of mirrors. IFS invites me to ask myself gentle questions and respond with curiosity, not judgement. Like gazing into the scars of an old mirror and meeting yourself and the world around you with kindness. Want to explore IFS therapy?

A quiet moment during our IFS retreat to remember A quiet moment during our IFS retreat to remember my dad, 8 years since he passed. Today, I made a 'father card' during a Soul Collage session with our client. Through it, I connected with a side of him I rarely saw when he was alive: his young, rebellious spirit. It felt like he was encouraging me to awaken that part of him in myself, to live more boldly, in ways he perhaps couldn't. I placed the card in Lescure's chapel besides fresh roses and a candle. At the time, I wrote a blog about his passing. Link in bio if you want to read it. Pardon the flowery language, I was grieving. #oldchapel #rememberingmydad #soulcollage #wabisabi #beauty #roses #ifsretreat #ifsintensives #innerwork #partswork #personalisedretreats #france
