All wellbeing workshops at Les Granges de la Hulotte are entirely optional.

On Your Own or Together
Some experiences are designed for individuals, while others can be enjoyed together during your stay.
Tailored to You
Maria and Éric can help you choose the sessions that best suit your wishes and how you feel at the time.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Workshops
A few helpful answers to guide you towards the workshops that might complement your stay in the Hautes-Pyrénées.
Do I need any previous experience of meditation or the other activities?
Not at all. No previous experience is needed. Meditation, breathing, Yin Yoga, creative activities and mindful walking are introduced gently, with your own pace and comfort in mind.
Can I book just one workshop during my stay?
Yes. Workshops are available individually. You can choose a single session, try several, or simply enjoy your stay without taking part in any activities. Everything is optional.
Can I attend workshops on my own or as a couple?
Yes. Depending on the activity, workshops can be enjoyed individually or as a shared experience for two, during either a personal retreat or a couples getaway.
Why choose a creative workshop, alone or together?
Creating offers a chance to step outside your usual routine and reconnect with a more spontaneous, intuitive side of yourself. You do not need to know how to draw or paint: the experience matters far more than the finished result.
As a couple, a creative session can also be a shared moment of discovery, curiosity and connection, while giving each person space to express themselves.
Maria adapts each session to the people taking part, their interests and their pace.
How do I choose between Maria's and Éric's workshops?
Éric's sessions focus mainly on meditation, breathing, body awareness and nature. Maria's workshops explore creativity, artistic expression and sensory approaches. Follow your interests, or ask us for guidance.
Where do the workshops take place?
Workshops take place at Les Granges de la Hulotte in the Hautes-Pyrénées, near Bagnères-de-Bigorre. Depending on the activity and weather, some sessions may also take place outdoors.
What If Your Stay Offered More Than Just a Break?
Make time during your stay in the Hautes-Pyrénées to slow down, breathe, create and reconnect with yourself. If you wish, choose the workshops that feel right for you.
