Our small group singing and meditation retreats are the perfect place for singers of all levels to come together and enjoy the amazing benefits of singing in a fun, nurturing, and supportive environment. We can't wait to welcome you!
Join us for our singing and meditation retreat holiday from 30 August - 6 September 2024 in Agon Coutainville, a seaside resort par excellence, located in the Manche department of Normandy, France. We will be staying in a luxurious beachfront townhouse that boasts breathtaking sea views. The property features six bedrooms, six bathrooms/shower rooms, an open-plan living area, a private terrace, and a courtyard. The sea is just a few feet away from the townhouse, providing an unforgettable seaside experience.
Our singing retreat holidays have been running for over 25 years in France, and we have welcomed back many loyal and returning guests. We have also been featured and recommended in the press, including a retreat special in The Guardian.
Absolutely all singing abilities are welcome on our singing and meditation retreats. We aim to share the joy and benefits of finding your voice, singing together, and most importantly, singing from the heart.
We will sing songs from a variety of musical styles, including pop, rock, folk, and world music, as well as simple and soulful songs, chants, mantras, and sound meditations from around the world. The aim is to uplift, relax, bring joy, and nurture our well-being through singing and using our voices. We welcome all singing levels and abilities, and you do not need to read music as all songs will be taught by ear. Our focus is on developing and using our own authentic, natural, and beautiful voices by working holistically with the breath, tone, control, and vocal range.
Our small group retreats allow us to personalize our daily retreat sessions to the group's needs and requirements. We will have singing, meditation, mantra chanting, and yoga and relaxation sessions for all abilities to relax and strengthen the connection between the body, mind, breath and voice. There will also be optional reiki sessions available to offer a further opportunity to relax deeply and nurture yourself. There will be plenty of time to rest, relax, and enjoy the beauty of the Normandy coast and countryside. There are beautiful coastal walks straight from the front door along the promenade.
During your singing and meditation retreat holiday, you will have the pleasure of enjoying delicious home-cooked meals that are prepared with love and served during our shared group mealtimes every day. Our menu features a variety of mouth-watering dishes influenced by various cuisines from around the world, made using fresh seasonal ingredients that are locally sourced whenever possible. You can expect to indulge in slow-cooked fragrant curries, classic French dishes, homemade cakes and more. Our experienced cook, Ema, has been preparing meals for groups and retreats for years, and her recipes have been published in several publications. Currently, she is working on a cookbook that will feature some of the most popular recipes from our retreats. You can also find many of Ema's recipes on our HeartSong Normandie blog.
You can read more about us and what our previous guests have said about our retreats on our testimonials page. We feel incredibly grateful to have so many amazing guests who keep coming back to our singing retreats! Over the past 25 years, we've had the pleasure of getting to know many of them, and they've become wonderful friends. We look forward to welcoming you all for another memorable experience!
"Singing connects the mind with the heart and the heart with the soul. So sing. I dare you!"
