Creative Escape: Vitaliseur de Marion Cooking, Intuitive Painting & Yoga

The Power of Joyful Cooking with the Vitaliseur de Marion

Discover a magical culinary tool that preserves vitamins, minerals, and flavor while reducing pesticides and non-nutrients.
With Marie-Laure, you’ll learn to cook healthy, delicious meals, fish, vegetables, eggs, as well as cakes, breads, or meats… pure delight!
In Ayurveda, it’s not about eating only seeds or being strictly vegetarian, it’s about bringing consciousness to your plate. During this weekend, set aside your Thermomix or air fryer and rediscover the true taste of food while awakening your digestive fire.

Free Your Creativity Through Intuitive Art

Guided by Hortense, you’ll explore your creativity through intuitive drawing and painting in a gentle, nurturing atmosphere.
No technique required, simply an invitation to let yourself be guided by your intuition, your colors, your emotions…
These workshops become a true bridge back to yourself: helping you express what words sometimes can’t, calm the constant flow of thoughts, and reveal hidden potentials. A unique experience filled with softness, joy, and self-connection, where creation becomes a space of freedom and renewal.

Yoga as a space for presence and grounding

Guided by Gloria, the Hatha Yoga sessions complete the weekend as a gentle return to the body and to oneself. Offered as an optional practice, these accessible sessions are open to everyone and invite you to move with awareness, breathe deeply, and release tension.
Each session is designed as a moment of listening and presence, where respect for the body and its natural rhythm is at the heart of the experience. Yoga becomes a space for grounding, recentering, and fluidity, in harmony with conscious cooking and creative expression, for a holistic and gentle approach to well-being.

Gloria Monnier

Gloria has always been passionate about yoga, movement, human connection, and meaningful relationships. Having practiced yoga for nearly ten years, she recently decided to embark on the journey of teaching and guiding others.

Trained in Hatha Yoga by a physiotherapist by the ocean, she is deeply committed to leading others on an inner journey that fosters clarity and awareness. Through her teaching, she aims to share what yoga has brought into her own life: a deeper reconnection to the body and access to one’s inner resources.

Graduated from a management school specialized in hospitality and gastronomy, Gloria has always found fulfillment in being of service to others. This sensitivity naturally informs her approach today, as she offers thoughtful, adapted sessions where listening, presence, and respect for the body are at the heart of the experience.
