To find out more/book a retreat/have a chat, email me at MargarethaMontagu@gmail.com. Retreats available from March to December.
Not sure which retreat will suit you best? I’m happy to chat about the different options, so you can choose the best retreat for you. Each retreat is different, and one might suit you better than another, so I like to chat with each guest before they book, to ensure the best possible match. I love these chats, they allow us to get to know each other a bit beforehand, and offer you the opportunity to ask all the questions you may have, for example how to get here, before you pay the deposit. Just email me at MargarethaMontagu@gmail.com.
Your Retreat Host: Dr Margaretha Montagu
“The most awesome and precious experience I can offer you is a walking retreat away from the hustle and bustle, in the sun-drenched southwest of France, in a 200-year-old farmhouse, set in lush meadows on the edge of an ancient forest, so that you can relax, without a care in the world, recharge your batteries and reconnect with your authentic self and with nature in the presence of my Friesian and Falabella horses and by walking sections of the Camino de Santiago de Compostela. Especially if you are currently struggling with some tough challenges.
Working all hours as a medical doctor, I was overwhelmed and exhausted, and in desperation, I attended my first retreat. I was hooked from the moment I arrived, and I have since attended a variety of retreats. I so profoundly believe in the beneficial effect of attending retreats that I have made hosting retreats – online and onsite – my life’s work. At Esprit Meraki, the little French farmhouse I always dreamed of owning, you can release emotional baggage, confront difficulties, contemplate current challenges, aspirations, and areas ripe for improvement, cultivate greater resilience, and reevaluate your life choices while you walk the Camino de Santiago.”

Solo, Slow and Sustainable Tourism
During our retreats, I do my best to foster an environment where everyone feels understood, valued, supported and inspired. This includes providing opportunity and access for people of different races, ages, colours, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disabilities, and socioeconomic orientations. I actively invest in my own development to help me create an anti-racist, anti-oppressive, equitable and inclusive setting.
