An Escape to Nature in French Polynesia – Add a little French to your life !

AN ESCAPE TO YOUR INNER SELF IN TAHITI

We crafted a 9 day escape to the island of Tahiti in the fall of 2020, to combine the perfect environment and conditions to reconnect with yourself.

Renowned for its spellbinding nature, incredible sunsets and passionate dances, Tahiti is French, and only eight hours away from the West coast. We believe it also offers the perfect environment to explore these existential questions: What would I like to add, change or subtract to my life? What are my intrinsic values, and how can I better align my life with these values?

Away from everyday life “noise”, immersed in one of Mother Nature’s most beautiful creations, it becomes easier to get in touch with your inner self and we have designed this trip to be like a retreat, so you have the space, time and freedom to reflect on these major questions, kindly guided by a certified coach.

How gratifying to do this, all while sailing the Tahiti waters? You’ve seen the postcard images with volcanic peaks rising above azure blue lagoons, the secluded white sand beaches shaded by lush palm trees, now you can come experience all of it with us, with the additional opportunity to reflect on your life, and re-align your direction.

WELCOME ON BOARD

Private-Yacht style cruising outside the usual tourist clichés, just as we like it in our micro travel concept! Your ship is a boutique catamaran with big ship comfort and a knack for adventures.

MEET HUGUETTE & MARLYNN

Your Tahiti journey will be personally accompanied by Marlynn Haslund and Huguette Marsicano. Marlynn is a certified coach and Huguette is a gastronome and international lifestyle consultant. They have developed several projects together, but this trip-retreat is by far their favorite one!

A note from Marlynn: Hi! I am a Coach. Sometimes a “Career Coach”, sometimes a “Life Coach” sometimes a “Performance Improvement Coach” but essentially it all comes down to helping people figure out what they want, identify any roadblocks, and create an action plan to move forward. My approach is grounded in The Co-Active Model of Coaching with the influences of many behavioral psychologists, organizational theorists and learning professionals. For this retreat I have applied my skills and creativity to design interactive learning experiences that are as insightful as they are fun and engaging. Our Tahiti Retreat is an opportunity to do some exploring both internally and externally. I hope your will join us in this wonderful journey!

WHAT WILL YOUR DAY LOOK LIKE?

Each day, we will start off with a Yoga Your Way session – no experience is necessary, and our instructor will help you find your yoga practice based on your interest and ability.

In the morning, there will be 6 highly interactive workshops designed to help you explore your values and how you can amplify them in your life.

The rest of the day is up to you! Join in on the visits and excursions of the day or recline on the deck with your favorite book. Either way, you will have plenty of time to relax, rejuvenate and enjoy the camaraderie of your fellow travelers.

WHAT WILL YOUR MEALS TASTE LIKE?

Delicious local food and wines are an integral part of this journey. From finest island cuisine to delicious home-cooked fare, our meals are always colorful, authentic and flavorsome, and enjoyed in a leisurely French fashion. You will love the Tahitian cuisine, it is a fantastic blend of Polynesian tradition with a French twist.
