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.

Calling all last-minute inner growth adventurers!

Calling all last-minute inner growth adventurers! We have a spot left for our IFS Intensive Retreats in January and it's calling your name. Alternatively, step into spring with a deeper connection to Self by joining us in our château for the retreat in March/April. IFS, Forest Bathing, Soul Collage, and more.

No Monday blues here:
Thomas driving off in our vintage Land Rover to work in the woods. IFS teaches us we all have inner parts to explore. Today, Thomas is showing up for his rugged and playful ones.

Golden hour in the château living room. So happy

Golden hour in the château living room. So happy that Emotional Portrait is back on the wall after restoration by the artist. Thank you @yumiko.yoneda. Later this month, we’re hosting an IFS retreat here (more info through the link in bio), and I cannot imagine welcoming our guests to this space with an empty spot on the wall. Like missing a dear friend. #IFSretreat #IFSTherapy #IFSIntensives #MindfulMoments #wabisabi #beauty #art #artheals #magicsunlight #winter #retreatyourself #franceretreat #chateaulife

Back to work after the New Year recess, and there'

Back to work after the New Year recess, and there's no better way to kick things off than with some fresh air and yard work on the beautiful chateau grounds. Nothing like reconnecting with nature to recharge and set the tone for the year ahead!

Excited to start prepping for the upcoming IFS retreats later this month. If you want to dive deeper into self-discovery and growth, you can find more details about our IFS Intensives in the bio.

As we enter the new year, it’s the perfect time

As we enter the new year, it’s the perfect time to reflect—not just on what’s behind us, but on who we’re becoming. What do you see when you look at yourself this year? I’ve written a blog post about reflections and mirrors (link in bio). Thank you @marnixgeus for the cute photo of us in our full chateau glory. Here’s to fresh starts, deeper self-awareness, and the power of looking within. Happy New Year! #newbeginnings #newyearnewyou #ifsretreats #internalfamilysystems #ifstherapy #wabisabi #beauty #nature #retreatyourself #soulcollage #selfgrowthjourney #lookingwithin #chateau #franceretreat

Tired of the holiday blues that creep in every yea

Tired of the holiday blues that creep in every year around this time? Feeling stuck and overwhelmed? These feelings might stem from inner parts that carry unresolved emotions or burdens. IFS helps you connect with these parts, so you can break free from the cycle. We still have spots left for our January IFS Intensives. Last year, we had the magic of snow. Join us for healing, connection, and peaceful winter vibes. Link in bio for more info about our unique programme with IFS, Forest Bathing and Soul Collage. Or send me a message. #IFSTherapy #IFSTherapy #soulcollage #personalisedretreats #retreatyourself #wabisabi #beauty #nature #forestbathing #frenchcountryside #healingspace #france

Not every beauty is easily revealed, but here I go

Not every beauty is easily revealed, but here I got lucky with the château staircase. Like an older, reserved lady of nobility, Lescure keeps its splendor hidden, leaving much to the imagination. What a beautiful setting for the inner journey of IFS. #reservedbeauty #quietgrace #wabisabi #beauty #chateaustaircase #personalisedretreats #IFSTherapy #IFSIntensives #innerwork #internalfamilysystems #france

A bittersweet moment as a new friend prepares to leave. His bags packed with the warmth of shared moments. The connections we make here as as special as the place itself. Safe travels @marnixgeus, wishing you lots of inspiration on your trip and hope you carry a piece of Lescure magic with you! #gratitude #memoriestocarry #newfoundinsights #inspiration #selfdiscovery #chateauhallway #antiquemirror #wabisabi #beauty #personalisedretreats #IFSIntensives #frenchchateau
