Step Into Your Bigger Soul’s Plan While You Craft Your Delicious Life With the Magic of Provence as the Perfect Backdrop
Join me for a transformational 5-day, 4-night journey in Provence and within yourself. Embrace your next big move while indulging in a sacred community of conscious women while the beauty, authenticity, and flavors of Provence awaken your senses, nourish your soul, and transform your life.
SEPT 16-20, 2024
Hello, Beautiful, I'd like to invite you to join me for a life-inspiring experience in Provence in my feminine mentorship and within a sisterhood of other kind women bold enough to step into their next big move, so you finally live out the dream or the message that’s been stirring in your soul
Have you felt a stirring inside, sensing something new, bigger, and more authentic is waiting to emerge within you? You are not alone. This feeling, often mixed with fear and confusion, is what I call "divine discontent." It signals that you're on the brink of your next evolution, your soul's grand plan.
It is a movement you’ve been thinking of creating, a dream you’re constantly thinking of, a business move or book you’ve dreamed of putting out there, a bold message you’ve not ignited or shared yet or an empowering way of being in your relationship you’ve not allowed yourself to express?
In the South of France, we will explore your next big authentic step, expand your threshold of authenticity, in business and life. This retreat is designed to catalyze a bold and courageous transformation into your new life, your own Delicious Life.
If you feel called to explore this next level of evolution within yourself, join me for a delicious week-long immersion in my Provencal farmhouse, under a magnificent 200-year-old tree. This sanctuary is the perfect place to safely delve into your next calling and have you give yourself permission to be the woman you’ve always wanted to be and say or do what you’ve always wanted to but didn’t have the courage to yet.
My philosophy for living a Delicious Life is simple - when you align with all that you dream of and the things you are passionate about, or the next project you are being called to experience in life, the universe responds with waves of abundance and joy.
Many women are now coming into their power, and it is a movement of empowerment that is both personal and collective. You are not alone in this journey.
Many are experiencing deconstruction, shifts, and displacement as they realign with their true purposes. This collective experience is a testament to the transformative power of divine discontent.
It's time to honor this discontent as a divine redirection.
The Question Is, Why Would You Settle For Less Than Absolutely Everything Your Soul Wants For You?
Together, we’ll look at what dreams you’ve been pushing down in the water like a beach ball for way too long, and finally give you the permission to live your truth, create that big next program, movement or launch, express yourself at work, in your most important relationships and in your desires, and explore what it means for you to be the most authentic version of yourself.
This isn’t just “dreaming out loud”. We’ll get super strategic and reverse-engineer how you will step into your next big move and monetize it, live your best life, and be the fullest expression of who you really are. And then, you’ll walk away with an action plan to manifest your version of Your Next Level of Impact and A Delicious Life.
As women, we often carry the weight of societal roles and expectations, which can feel like a trap, especially if we have dreams and purposes that we haven't allowed ourselves to fully activate. Embracing your feminine energy is crucial in this process. The feminine balances us, allowing us to receive and flow rather than just push and achieve.
In my own life and work, I have been deeply called to rebalancing into the feminine. This has involved shedding old ways and embracing a more intuitive, flowing approach to my work and life. It's about living through divine discontent, reclaiming it, and using it as a catalyst for growth and transformation.
"'Being with Fabienne in Provence for a week was a magical experience that had a profound impact on my life. Fabienne has a gift for creating a welcoming environment that encourages self-discovery and growth. Her wisdom, love, and guidance helped me to envision and work towards a life that is deeply fulfilling and authentic. The fact that it was held in Provence only added to the amazingness of it all. I came home with newfound confidence, a sense of purpose, and a toolkit of practices to implement in my everyday life. The retreat was truly a life-altering experience."

Let’s face it. You’re not going to make these bold changes on your own. If you could have, you would have already. You need sacred community and fearless mentorship
We women often talk ourselves out of our big dreams for fear of what people will think, afraid of rocking the boat and simply because of a deep seated fear that it either won’t work out or that we will be cast out of the tribe.
Throughout the week we will spend together, I will be your gate opener, your permission-giver, your spiritual midwife, your strategic partner and your confidant. We will all be that for you.
And while we have meaningful conversations and soul-shaking realizations, we will also embark on excursions to my favorite Provençal markets brimming with abundant local foods, we’ll taste and select olive oils for you to take back home (lavender honey too), and appreciate world-renowned wines that embody the essence of this region, that you can ship back home, if you like.
We’ll dine together, get to know each other, have fun and talk about what you dream of and how to make your most rewarding life a reality.
Here, we will have deep conversations, laughter, camaraderie, and if the mood presents itself, we may push the dining table to the side after Derek grills us an incredible meal so we can dance, or better yet, talk all night next to a fire beneath the stars, under cozy blankets.
Your Dreams, Desires, And Aspirations Matter. There Is No Room For Regret. The Time Is Now.
Could Just A Week Change Your Life Forever? Apparently So. The Provence Retreat Is A Catalyst For Transformation
This intimate retreat is about giving you the space and inspiration to create a juicy, inspired, and deeply fulfilling life for yourself, even in the midst of what you already have going on around you.
This has been life-changing and a big jolt forward in abundance for the women who’ve been joining me in the South of France for the last few retreats. Nothing has come close to this level of transformation for them. And we do it all with incredible love and warmth.
The process for change can be daunting. Our human bodies are wired for survival, and any significant change can trigger our instinct to self-preserve. It's important to recognize this instinct, not judge it, and work with it using tools to reassure the nervous parts of you, understanding that this fear is a natural part of the journey.
This process changed their life too. And now, I’d like to share it with you.
Past participants are still raving about how it changed their lives at a core level

I believe a Delicious Life involves all the senses,
so you feel what it's like to live fully.
We’ll dine together, get to know each other, have fun and talk about what you dream of and how to make your most rewarding life a reality.
Here, we will have deep conversations, laughter, camaraderie, and if the mood presents itself, we may push the dining table to the side after Derek grills us an incredible meal so we can dance, or better yet, talk all night next to a fire beneath the stars, under cozy blankets.
Some days will also be filled with hands-on coaching and excursions, but also fun times in kitchen, surrounded by the jazz or French café music.
Imagine a sacred space, in a loving community of women you will call friends, where you can manifest the life you've always dreamed of—a life filled with passion, purpose, and pleasure.
It's about giving yourself permission to put your needs first by unearthing and creating the Delicious Life of your dreams.
We'll help you gain clarity on what your ideal life looks like, and together, we'll reverse-engineer your intentions, crafting a tangible plan to bring your dreams to fruition.

I returned home feeling rejuvenated and motivated to create a life that is aligned with my values and what makes me happy. Joining this retreat was one of the best decisions I've ever made."

"Attending the 'A Delicious Life Retreat' with Fabienne was truly a transformative experience. It was as if I had walked into a space where I could fully be myself, unapologetically and completely. The retreat is so much more than just a getaway – it's an exploration of self and possibility. I can't thank Fabienne enough for creating this experience. It's been a few months since the retreat, and I still feel the effects rippling through my daily life. If you're on the fence, let me tell you, it's worth it. It’s more than worth it – it's life-changing."
