Meeting the Dragons
Courage is born where fear is faced.
Every person has dragons. Some appear as anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or conflict. This retreat is an invitation to stop avoiding the very experiences that are asking you to become someone greater.
When fear is no longer your enemy, it becomes your greatest teacher.

Courage
Every person has dragons. Some appear as anxiety. Some as perfectionism. Some as people-pleasing. Some as conflict. Some as success itself.
This retreat is an invitation to stop avoiding the very experiences that are asking you to become someone greater. Through courageous conversations, experiential practices, emotional intelligence, archetypal work and intuitive strategy, you'll learn how to face your dragons with wisdom instead of resistance.
Because every dragon guards something precious — your voice, your freedom, your purpose, your life.

Retreat Location
La Confiance
Plazac, Dordogne, France
La Confiance, meaning "Confidence," sits on four acres and was built in 1821. Comprised of four buildings centered around a natural courtyard, it maintains its old-world charm while offering fully modern amenities. With fabulous views, it rests just minutes from the region's most treasured attractions.
Located in the Valley of the Dordogne, the rural surrounding is quiet and peaceful. The region is the historic medieval center of France, known as the "land of 1,000 castles," with well-preserved cultural sites and French gardens.

Meet Your Host
Aline Hanle
From inner authority to embodied sovereignty
Aline Hanle does not teach leadership as a concept. She lives it as a state of coherence. For over two decades, Aline has guided women, founders, and leaders through profound transitions — moving beyond self-improvement into embodied authority.
Her work is rooted in one simple truth: Sovereignty is not something you claim once. It is something you live, moment by moment.
Aline's approach weaves emotional intelligence, nervous system awareness, intuitive strategy, and lived experience into a grounded, elegant practice of leadership that does not rely on force, performance, or collapse.
Her work is not about becoming more. It is about stabilizing who you already are. Aline works with women who have already done the healing, the therapy, the searching — and are now ready to live from the center of themselves in relationships, leadership, and life.
