7-Day Retreat at the Monastère des Ségriès, France
with Amoda Maa & Kavi
June 5-11, 2027
Set in the peaceful landscape of Provence, the Monastère des Ségriès offers a rare space to step away from the movement of everyday life and enter more deeply into the simplicity of being. Surrounded by the quiet beauty of the French countryside and the atmosphere of an ancient monastic place, the retreat invites you to slow down, turn inward, and discover the freedom and intimacy that are already here.
Each day includes two sessions with Amoda Maa and Kavi, weaving together silent and guided meditation, illuminating discourse, and intimate dialogue. Amoda offers the primary teachings, pointing directly to the silent radiance of being and the possibility of living from what is most essential and true. Kavi brings a complementary presence through silence, poetry, and occasional dialogue.
There is also spaciousness between sessions — to walk, rest, be in nature, share meals, and allow the teachings to settle more deeply into lived experience. Evenings may bring spontaneous gatherings of poetry, music, or simple conversation, held in a spirit of ease and warmth.
The retreat also offers the rare opportunity to spend time in a community of shared sincerity, where friendship can deepen naturally and the simplicity of being together becomes part of the retreat itself.
