Our vision
A naturally energising ‘home from home’ set in the dreamy valley of Le Giffre
Nature as the ultimate ‘gym’ for expanding your mind, body and spirit
Le Phare de Morillon is set in the abundant and powerful natural valley of Le Giffre in the Haut Savoie. In our Executive workshops we use this re-connection with nature to inspire our guests to expand in the ways that resonate with their individual needs. There is an abundance of outdoor activities in nature including riverside walks, trekking, cycling, skiing, visiting stunning waterfalls and observing wide mountain panoramas.
We encourage our guests to shake off the contractual cobwebs and restrictions of their everyday routines to expand through the experiences of world class Self-inspired change content and an unspoilt and re-energising Alpine Valley. The natural energies of the chalet and its surroundings can help guests to reflect on their priorities in life and to release more of their unfulfilled potential.
Over the last few years Le Phare de Morillon and its gardens have been gently and beautifully renovated to offer a unique space for personal reflection and expansion. The space includes a beautiful yoga and meditation room, a beamed workshop space with stunning mountain views and comfortable ensuite Executive bedrooms. The organic gardens offer discrete spaces to reconnect to the natural rhythms of life and to allow time for personal expansion.
Nature is reflected in the quality of the food, the air, the energy and the water of the Giffre valley. It is this natural connection that encourages Executives to find their way back to their true path in life when faced by the inevitable ‘Life-changing Turning Points’ that characterise all human lives.
A place to explore your unfulfilled potential through Self-Inspired change
Le Phare in French means the lighthouse. We see ourselves as a natural lighthouse that can help people who are experiencing ‘Life-changing Turning Points’ to see their unfulfilled potential and to expand into a life that is more meaningful for them. It was Eric Fromm who defined the meaning of life as being ‘the act of living it’. Our lighthouse offers workshops and personal coaching to support Executives in navigating their inevitable ‘Life-changing Turning Points’ more skillfully.
All modern Executives live in a overly busy world of challenging targets, tight deadlines and relentless pressure. There is often little time and space to reflect on ways for Executives to expand into their true potential. We recognise that every Executive is unique and has unique needs at any point in time.
Our approach to effective personal change is that it has to be Self-inspired with some expert support to guide Executives through the wisdom and ideas of many others who have gone before them. We have developed a large amount of world class wisdom to help Executives with their self-change processes and to help to re-optimise their life purpose, key relationships and natural well-being. Our workshops are designed to help participants to find the best ways to release their unfulfilled potential with an approach that resonates with unique individuals and their ‘Life-changing Turning Points’.
An ongoing Self-Inspired change community
We have a wide selection of local and international experts to help our guests to get the most out of their visits and our course curriculum. There are three unique and re-energising 4-day ‘long weekend’ courses available at Le Phare de Morillon:
In addition there are advanced international master classes for deeper dives into world class content and processes:
In addition to our workshops and international master classes at Le Phare de Morillon there are three unique shared learning and reflection workshops that use alternative thinking and the natural beauty of Le Giffre valley to provide simple answers to complex questions:
Le Phare de Morillon is also available for customised Executive workshops and Business Planning sessions. These can be arranged on an individual basis to encourage management teams to solve complex business problems in an innovative and inspiring environment.
At Le Phare de Morillon we believe in developing a local and international community based on collaboration and the sharing of world class insights into successful Self-inspired change. We encourage positive interactions between workshop participants and with the local community. Alumni of workshops at Le Phare de Morillon have access to the wide range of Self-inspired change books, materials and best practices processes that have been specially developed at this workshop centre.
Boosting health through the power of nature and knowledge
Le Phare de Morillon is set in an unspoilt mountain valley with fresh air, clean water and access to plenty of natural foods. Alongside good sleep, exercise and sports like skiing, walking and yoga this is the perfect way to re-energise your mind, body and immune system. Our guests are often surprised how much they sleep in the mountains as they learn to relax and tune into the rhythms of a more natural way of life.
We believe in sharing ‘World Class’ knowledge and ideas
Le Phare is a place of shared learning rather than teachers. It is a place where individual participants are encouraged to find their own path and to share their knowledge as a core part of the learning process. We actively encourage the re-integration into lifestyles of often ancient wisdoms that are freely available but often get lost through the daily pressures of life.
We love serving natural and nutritious food and drink
We know that the best way to improve a sense of personal well-being is to provide our guests with pure air, naturally healthy food options, fresh local water and good wine for those who enjoy it. The mountains and river of an unspoilt Alpine valley are the perfect place to learn about smart ways to integrate this well-being into a busy Executive lifestyle.
We care for the beauty of our environment
Recycling, earth-friendly cleaning products, mindful energy use and permaculture gardens are our way of caring for our surroundings. Events held here follow similar environmentally friendly practices. Allowing guests to reconnect with nature through the medium of an organic garden and permaculture.
