I participated in a New Year’s retreat for women with Ishtar. A few days outside of time in a beautiful and welcoming place. The program was flexible and fluid, adapting to each person and fostering empowerment. We experienced many magical moments, offering our souls spaces for healing, authentic expression, and deep connection.

Bugarach — the mountain, the water, the wind, the fire, the forest, the moon… a place of communion with the elements…
Ishtar… her tenderness, her integrity, and her benevolence welcome us into an oasis of gentleness…
To dance, to sing, to vibrate, to laugh, to cry, to be… simply to be, and to be able to share it in complete safety…
The delicate presence of Akhil and his delicious cuisine are like an elixir…
Precious moments… moments of grace… a gift from the heavens.
Gratitude.

Spending five days in Bugarach was a truly special journey into our inner goddess, carefully guided by Ishtar. She led us through the process with practices that felt soft yet incredibly powerful. I never ended the day feeling tired or exhausted — only relaxed, open‑hearted, and deeply grounded.
What I cherish most from this experience is the connection I formed with a beautiful circle of women. The space felt so safe, inviting to open up and connect more deeply with ourselves and with each other.
The retreat took place in a unique natural environment, surrounded by mountains and a lake, which helped to disconnect from the noise of daily life. And of course, I cannot forget to mention the delicious and nourishing plant‑based meals, all prepared with so much love.

It was exquisitely soft and deeply replenishing — a true nourishment for the soul, in an embodied, grounded way. I felt gently held by Ishtar and her land, as if wrapped in a quiet, loving presence. It became the perfect cocoon to come home to myself. Everything is taken care of with delicacy — the food is delicious and nourishing in itself — so everyone can simply relax, surrender, and land.

Quality of listening. Always the right word. Never any judgment. Fragrance of infinite love.
A benefactor.
That’s the exact word…

When I look back at the workshops of Ishtar I attended to, there are some keywords popping up :
Slowing down, Simplicity, connection with nature – each other – my deeper self.
Without you noticing it, she creates a safe unifying field. To explore, to share, to heal and to enjoy. Supported by the wonderful organic food made with love by Akhil. A workshop with Ishtar is a big gift to myself. Thank you Ishtar.

With a vibrant softness, beauty and tranquility…  I’ve just emerged from a beautiful retreat from which will be more to come. Unfolding in me a sacred connection to earth in my daily life. Grateful. Ishtar’s retreats have moved my life deeply into relaxation and self love. And not to mention my daily life connected with the divine. Playful, loving presence and expanding awareness. 🌹
