FRENCH PYRENEES
BELTANE RETREAT - Nature's Song
with Verity Megan
Mas Vilalte, Corsavy France
30th April - 6th May 2025
Prices from £1250
Join us for the triumphant return of Nature’s Song, now in its third year!
Herald, the return of Summer with a 'Bell's Fire' Retreat to remember, embracing the light of lengthening days and all that flows from the Earth. Beltane is the festival of fertility, where the God and Goddess are entwined - the sun gathering strength to bless the Earth with warmth, awakening her potential. Holding the divine masculine and feminine, your hosts Garwyn Linnell and Verity Megan, will guide you to explore what is being re-born in you during this magical time.
The word Beltane is said to derive from old Irish, meaning 'bright fire' or 'fire of Bels'. It is a magical pivot within the turning wheel, representing our emergence from the darkness into the most expansive, radiant part of the year. At this peak of Spring when all around us sings with life, it is impossible to ignore the calls for growth within us too!



What to expect
An elemental immersion to embody Nature’s wisdom

We will journey through an alchemy of the elements, exploring the landscape within while connecting with the Spirit of the land that holds us.
Each day will begin with an inner orientation through embodied movement before venturing into the wilds for mountain hikes, Forest Bathing and water immersions.
To draw us into the nights, we will end the days with restorative movement, sound meditations and storytelling through the spheres of Cello, Crystal Alchemy singing bowls, voice and Shamanic drum.

Our Venue
Mas Vilalte, Corsavy France

Our venue is the stunning Mas Vilalte Retreat, a secluded hamlet on the South-facing slopes of Mount Canigou. At an altitude of 920m it offers breathtaking views over the surrounding mountains and hills.
Vilalte is at the end of a mile-long private drive, 10km from the small village of Corsavy. Due to its isolated location, you will leave behind the hum and distractions of the modern world. Only the sounds of nature can be heard, and the most beautiful, starlit skies can be seen, a gift of the absence of light pollution. Wild boars, Pyrenees vultures, eagles and much other wildlife can be spotted in addition to a great diversity of botanical species.
Your Guides

Working with the Shamanic directions and Spirit realms, weaving Eastern and Western traditions to understand the powers of nature, the rhythms of the cosmos and our place within it. Practices that effectively heal, inspire and transform – cultivating a deeper connection to self, each other and the natural world.
Yoga, Somatic Experiencing, Qi Gong, Energy & Sound Healing, Mysticism, Folklore & Shamanic Practices
Verity
Verity first came to the mat over 20 years ago, discovering the transformative power of movement and its ability to create pathways of presence, offering space to process life and emotions. Passionate about sharing an integrated, gentle, seasonal, and intuitive approach to wellbeing, she has devoted her life to this work.
An experienced senior teacher in the ISHTA Yoga tradition, Verity has been teaching and sharing yoga since 2016. She has also studied Ayurveda, Yoga Therapy for Women, Somatic Therapy, Mind-Body Integration, Reiki, Sound Healing and Mystical Wisdom.
Her practice combines Eastern training with progressive methods, working in harmony with the shifting seasons to live in relationship with these living, breathing, ever-evolving rhythms. Devoted to the path of supporting others on their journey, her work emphasises our interconnectedness with nature, self, and other, honouring the wisdom of the body as an integral part of the living, breathing Earth.


Garwyn
Born in Vancouver, Canada, Garwyn spent six years living in Germany, studying at the Folkwang University of the Arts, where he completed his bachelor's degree. He later moved to London, receiving a master's degree from the Royal Academy of Music. An avid chamber musician, Garwyn has also had the opportunity to perform as a soloist and an orchestral musician in various venues and countries, from small churches in Italy to concert halls in China. While classical music is his primary area of focus, he also has had the pleasure of collaborating and performing with various artists within the fields of dance, contemporary music, folk, improvisation, jazz, and even poetry.
In 2019, after being confronted with a life-threatening illness, the direction of Garwyn's life took a significant shift on a journey of healing and spiritual development. His own process of physical, psychological, and emotional recovery led him to explore and train in different forms of healing modalities, including Humanistic Counselling, Somatic Bodywork and Movement Therapy; various forms of energetic healing, including Shamanic healing and Reiki, and most significantly using sound as a healing modality through sound journeys, baths, and medicine music.
