Journey through the South of France
Elegance • Pleasure • Deep Renewal
A Luxury Retreat with Farhad Khan
September 26 – October 7, 2027
Provence Château + Rhône River Cruise
THE EXPERIENCE
An Invitation into Beauty, Slowness, and Connection
There is a way of living in the South of France that feels almost timeless.
Mornings unfold slowly. Light lingers longer. Meals become moments to savour, not rush.
This journey is an invitation into that rhythm.
Not simply to visit — but to soften into it.
To reconnect with yourself, with others, and with the quiet beauty that exists when life is given space.
Blending refined travel with meaningful retreat experiences, this is a journey designed to nourish your body, calm your nervous system, and awaken a deeper sense of presence.
YOUR HOSTS
Led by Heart, Guided by Experience
Farhad Khan
SOUND HEALER · YOGA & MEDITATION TEACHER
Farhad Khan is a master sound healer, E-RYT 500 yoga teacher (with over 10,000 hours of teaching experience), breathwork practitioner, and meditation guide who has been leading international retreats for nearly two decades. His work is rooted in presence, depth, and devotion to the heart.
Through the powerful resonance of crystal bowls, gongs, handpan, and chimes, Farhad creates immersive experiences that gently regulate the nervous system, invite emotional release, and support spiritual reconnection. His teachings are not about performance — they are about remembrance. A returning to stillness. A softening into truth.
