Serene Roots PACA proposes four-day weekend retreats in a village north of Sisteron, nestled within the department of the Hautes Alpes, a part of the picturesque PACA region in France. Our idyllic retreats unfold against the backdrop of the southern tip of the French Alps, providing an exquisite setting for a diverse range of activities. You can find planned programs on our website to help you select the retreat best suited to your aspirations. The schedule for retreats will begin in the spring of 2025.

Erin Lynne is an American artist and journalist who has been residing in the south of France since 2008. Through her workshop, Erin Lynne Studio, she has founded Serene Roots PACA, organizing four-day weekend retreats. Fluent in both English and French, Erin will lead our meditative writing sessions in either language, adapting to the composition of the guest list. In this freeing environment, guests are encouraged to work in the language of their choice, embracing the limitless possibilities.

As the founder of the project, Erin warmly welcomes calls from potential guests, providing an opportunity to get to know each other. This time is crucial for determining if the retreat best matches your needs. It's an exciting moment to share, irrespective of whether the retreat aligns with your expectations. Erin is delighted to engage with like-minded peace seekers, fostering connections and conversations.
