Le Voyage Intime
IMMERSIONS
Come away for a few days. Leave the noise behind. Come back to yourself.
The beginning
Everything begins
with the body.
We return to it. We listen to it, move it, rest it, nourish it and give it time.
Our Immersions are designed for people who need to step away from the rhythm of everyday life and reconnect with what truly matters. Sleep deeply. Breathe. Move. Walk. Swim. Be quiet. Laugh. Eat beautifully. Discover something new.
Movement · Awareness · Presence
Listen.
Move. Rest.
The days are held by an exceptional team of teachers and practitioners, personally led by Anabel Cardenas, a highly accomplished Canadian-Mexican former professional ballet dancer whose life has taken her from the discipline of classical dance to many years devoted to yoga, meditation and Vipassana retreats.
Her approach brings together movement, awareness, discipline and a profound understanding of the body. Nothing is imposed. You are invited to listen, to explore and to discover what feels right for you.
The rhythm
Be.
Sleep deeply. Breathe. Move. Walk. Swim. Be quiet. Laugh. Eat beautifully. Discover something new.
Created by Patricia Schneider
The art of
ageing beautifully.
The Immersions were created by Patricia Schneider, founder of Le Voyage Intime, from a long-standing interest in wellbeing, prevention, longevity, regeneration and the art of ageing beautifully.
For Patricia, taking care of the body is not about stepping away from life, but about having the energy, strength and vitality to enjoy it fully. The Immersions bring together everything she believes can help us live well through the years: movement, rest, nourishing food, curiosity, beauty, nature and time.
Nourishment
Food is part
of the experience.
We believe that what we eat has a profound influence on how we feel, how we think and how we inhabit our bodies.
During an Immersion, food becomes part of the rhythm of the days.
Beautiful, generous, nourishing meals are prepared by a chef with the same attention given to everything else. Fresh, organic ingredients whenever possible. Food that is delicious, alive and beautifully prepared.
There is no diet to follow and nothing to count.
Instead, we rediscover the pleasure of eating well, slowly and consciously, and the simple relationship between good food, energy, clarity and wellbeing.
A few days outside ordinary life
The programme
is never the point.
The programme will include yoga, dance, meditation, hiking, swimming, sauna and massage, as well as workshops and conversations exploring sleep, food, longevity, anti-ageing, regeneration, the body, ageing, journalling, metaphysics and the art of preparing for a new chapter in life.
But the programme is never the point.
The point is to give you time.
Time to sleep. Time to think. Time to be silent. Time to move. Time to talk. Time to do absolutely nothing.
Your phone stays away during the day. The outside world can wait.
We take extraordinary care of the places, the food, the programme, the logistics and the people who come to us. Safety, comfort and wellbeing are never afterthoughts.
And perhaps most importantly, we want you to enjoy yourself.
You may come because you are exhausted. Because you need to disconnect. Because you are beginning again. Because you want to find each other again. Because you have finished one chapter and are wondering what comes next. Or simply because you feel that life would be richer if you gave yourself a few days like these.
You are welcome.
At the end, you leave feeling completely different.

Immersion 01
The Deep Reset
Sometimes, the most radical thing you can do is stop.
Stop answering. Stop rushing. Stop deciding. Stop being available to everyone.
For people whose lives are constantly in motion, the body eventually asks for something else.
The Deep Reset is for that moment.
You leave everything behind for a few days and enter a completely different rhythm. Your days are beautifully structured, with time for yoga, meditation, movement, workshops, walks, swimming, sauna, massage and regenerative food, with real time to rest.
Everything has been thought through for you.
Where you sleep. What you eat. How you move. When you rest. What you discover. Who accompanies you.
There is nothing to organise and nothing to decide.
You simply follow the rhythm of the days and allow yourself to be taken care of.
What makes it different
The Deep Reset is not about doing more in a beautiful place.
It is about stepping away from the demands of everyday life and giving your body and mind the conditions to rest, regenerate and recover.
The programme has a clear structure, but it leaves space to breathe.
For a few days, everything has been arranged so that you can let go.
Immersion 02
For Two
Sometimes, two people simply need time together.
Not between meetings. Not between flights, children, work and everything else that fills a life.
Just time.
For couples who have been busy, distracted or simply carried along by the rhythm of everyday life, an Immersion for Two creates the space to find each other again.
The days are designed around shared experiences: movement, meditation, nature, swimming, beautiful meals, long conversations, massage and unexpected discoveries.
There is time to do things together, and time to simply be together.
Nothing is rushed. Nothing needs to be organised.
Everything is taken care of, so that the two of you can concentrate on what matters most: enjoying each other again.
What makes it different
This is not a couples' retreat.
It is a few days created entirely around two people, their relationship and their pleasure in being together.
The setting, the rhythm, the food, the activities and the moments of quiet are all designed to create something rare:
time that belongs entirely to you both.
For couples who feel they have been growing apart, the Immersion also offers a dedicated relationship workshop, following a carefully developed and highly effective programme designed to help couples reconnect, communicate differently and rediscover the strengths of their relationship.
It is a thoughtful, structured experience, guided with sensitivity and discretion. There is time to talk, time to listen, and time to see each other with fresh eyes.
And there is also time for pleasure: to laugh together, move together, discover something new and simply enjoy being with one another.
Sometimes, you don't need to fix anything.
You simply need to find your way back to each other.
You simply need to find your way back to each other.
Immersion 03
After the Finish Line
For those who have spent years building, leading, achieving and taking care of everyone else.
You may have just retired after a long and demanding career. You may have sold your company, stepped away from a business you created, left a profession that defined you, or simply reached a point where the pace and ambitions of the past no longer feel like the right ones.
For a long time, there was always a next objective.
A company to build. A project to finish. A decision to make. A team to lead. A family to take care of.
And then, suddenly, there is space.
Sometimes that space feels liberating. Sometimes it feels surprisingly unfamiliar.
After the Finish Line is designed for this moment.
A few days away from your usual environment, surrounded by beauty, movement, nature, exceptional food, stimulating conversations and new experiences.
A chance to take care of your body, rediscover your energy, explore new interests and, perhaps for the first time in years, ask yourself a question that has been waiting patiently in the background:
What do I want the next chapter of my life to look like?
The programme invites you to think about vitality, longevity and ageing well, while exploring the things that make life richer at any age: movement, curiosity, friendship, pleasure, learning, nature and connection.
What makes it different
This is not a retirement retreat.
It is for people who are still deeply curious about life and who want the next chapter to be as rich, active and meaningful as the ones that came before.
There is no pressure to reinvent yourself, find a new purpose or make a five-year plan.
Instead, you are given something much more valuable: time and space to discover what genuinely interests you now.
Because when the professional chapter ends, life does not.
It opens.
It opens.
Immersion 04
Families
Some of the most precious moments in life are the ones shared across generations.
Grandparents, parents, children and teenagers rarely have the chance to step away from everyday life at the same time, in the same place, with nothing else competing for their attention.
A Families Immersion is created especially for this.
Three generations can come together for several days in an extraordinary setting, with everything taken care of.
There is time to share experiences and time to follow different rhythms. Grandparents can enjoy the beauty and tranquillity of the place. Parents can finally relax and be present. Children and teenagers can explore, move, swim, discover and have their own adventures.
But the most important moments are the ones everyone shares.
A walk together. A swim. A meal around the same table. A conversation that continues long after dinner. Learning something new together. Laughing at something that becomes a family story.
The programme is carefully designed so that every generation feels included, without asking everyone to do everything together.
What makes it different
This is not a family holiday where everyone happens to be in the same place.
It is an experience created to bring generations closer.
For grandparents, it can be a chance to share something new with the people they love. For parents, an opportunity to be fully present rather than managing the logistics. For children and teenagers, a chance to see their family in a completely different environment.
And because every practical detail is taken care of, the adults can enjoy the days too.
The result is something increasingly rare: several generations sharing the same experience, discovering each other in new ways, and creating memories that belong to everyone.
A few days that your family will remember for years to come.
Immersion 05
Private Groups
Sometimes, you don't want to join a group.
You want to bring your own.
You want to bring your own.
A group of friends who have known each other for years. Siblings who want to spend real time together. A circle of women celebrating a new stage of life. Several couples who want to share an experience. Or simply a group of people who have decided that they would rather create something extraordinary together than follow someone else's programme.
Private Groups bring the full Immersion experience to the people you choose.
For several days, you leave ordinary life behind and enter a different rhythm.
Your days may begin with yoga, movement or meditation, followed by beautiful, regenerative food prepared by a chef. There is time for hiking, swimming, sauna and massage, as well as workshops and conversations exploring sleep, nutrition, longevity, ageing well, the body, regeneration or whatever subjects are most meaningful to your group.
And there is something else: discovery.
Unexpected experiences, inspiring people, beautiful places and moments that could never have been planned quite this way.
Everything is organised around your group, from the place and accommodation to private teachers, practitioners, chefs, excursions and special experiences.
What makes it different
There is no standard programme.
No strangers. No compromises. No predetermined idea of what your days should look like.
The Immersion is created around your group, while preserving what makes the experience so powerful: movement, rest, nourishment, nature, curiosity, connection and time.
You can come simply to reconnect with friends. To celebrate something important. To mark a transition in life. Or because you all need to stop for a few days and experience something completely different together.
You arrive together.
You experience something together.
And you leave with a story that belongs only to your group.
Tell us who you would like to bring, when you would like to go and what you would love to experience.
We will imagine the Immersion with you.
Immersion 06
Professional Gatherings
Why spend those days in another conference room when they could become an experience people will remember?
Some companies take their teams abroad to meet, think, celebrate and create something together.
Le Voyage Intime creates exceptional professional gatherings in beautiful places in Mexico, France, Brazil and beyond.
For companies based in the United States, Europe or elsewhere, we design and organise private experiences for leadership teams, departments, partners, clients or larger groups travelling internationally for meetings, incentives, celebrations or important company moments.
The professional purpose comes first.
You may need several days of meetings to discuss strategy, make decisions, launch a new project, align a leadership team or prepare for an important stage of growth.
We create the environment around that purpose.
A beautiful place. Exceptional accommodation. Private transfers from the airport. Meeting spaces when needed. Excellent regenerative food. And, between working sessions, a carefully designed programme that allows people to breathe, move, discover and connect.
Yoga, meditation, dance, hiking, swimming, sauna and massage can become part of the days. So can cultural experiences, extraordinary meals, visits, encounters with artists or local experts, and workshops created specifically for your group.
Coaching sessions can also be incorporated into the programme, giving participants the opportunity to develop confidence, communication, leadership, creativity and other personal or professional strengths.
The result is a very different kind of business gathering.
People come together to work, but they also have time to think.
They meet outside their usual roles.
They discover one another in a different context.
They return rested, energised and often with a new perspective on themselves, their colleagues and the work they are doing together.
What makes it different
We do not offer a catalogue of corporate packages.
We create the experience around your company, your people and the reason you are bringing them together.
Perhaps you are organising an annual company gathering in Mexico City.
Perhaps your American team needs a few days in France to work on the next stage of the business.
Perhaps you want to reward your best people with an extraordinary experience in Brazil.
Perhaps you are bringing together clients, partners or a leadership team from several countries.
Whatever the purpose, we take care of the experience from beginning to end: choosing the right place, arranging accommodation and transfers, creating the programme, coordinating teachers and practitioners, organising meals and experiences, and making sure that the practical details disappear into the background.
Your people can concentrate on what they came to accomplish.
And when the work is done, they have experienced something they could never have had in an ordinary conference hotel.
Tell us where your team is coming from, what you need to accomplish and where you would like to take them.
We will create an exceptional gathering around it.
