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.

The last of our June retreats has drawn to a close The last of our June retreats has drawn to a close. Time for a slow and soft Sunday on the château terrace, full of quiet beauty and birdsong. Wishing you a lovely weekend! #ifsretreats #personalisedretreats #wabisabi #beauty #nature #sundaystillness #oldshutters #oldwalls #chateaulife #fauxaccacia #blossom #sombreuilrose #france
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
