Sanctuary healing by DM
A gentler space to reconnect
Rest is framed here as a chance to step out of the roles and pressures that can leave women depleted. Sanctuary Healing by DM brings together relaxation, wellness and meaningful conversation in a women-focused setting, with an emphasis on slowing down and reconnecting with yourself. Its approach grew from the host’s experience in caregiving, emotional support and wellness, and from a belief in the value of stillness and emotional safety. The retreat’s listed facilities include a spa, sauna and pool, alongside a kitchen, coffee and tea, towels, housekeeping and free parking. Meal options include vegan, vegetarian and meat-inclusive choices, with meals arranged on request. The venue is also arranged on request, so guests should confirm the setting and retreat details before making plans. Rates start at EUR 1,990; check directly what is included for your dates.
