the
location
THE peace keeper estate | gers, France
Deep in the rural countryside of southwestern France, tucked amongst rolling hills and seas of sunflowers, our house hums with a timeless tune. Here time's outward bounds relax; here time is once more personal, once more yours.
The Peace Keeper Estate is a restored farmhouse with a pool and sauna, surrounded by woods and vineyards. The little village of Saint-Orens Pouy Petite is a short walk or bike ride away, while Bordeaux and Toulouse are close enough to visit in a day.
The fertile land nourishes an encompassing culture of cuisine. We'll not only taste what our farmer neighbors have to offer, but learn to make to a few local specialties from our French-trained chef.

about emilie
& marlys
Chance brings us together, but it's choice that takes us deeper. The more our lives are changed by our friends, and the more we change our friends' lives in turn, the clearer our choices in all things become.
This was obvious from the moment we met. While we embody different disciplines and legacies, we share the hunger to connect with and transform people through movement.
We've taught for a combined total of 25 years. We've guided thousands of students from all walks of life. We've led countless workshops, trainings and retreats. But because we met each other, it feels like we're just beginning.
We want to offer you the refreshment that comes from new and unexpected connections, braided through movement and creative practices that will help you create a healthy, harmonious lifestyle you can take home with you. The magic that creates lasting change is simple but not easy: it's only the choice to live without pretending you know all the answers. It's a choice made easier with the right friends at your side.
Let's make magic together!
