Detailed Itinerary
Your day-by-day transformation journey
Day 1
Arrival & Welcome
Arrival & Check-In
Upon landing at Charles de Gaulle (CDG) or Orly (ORY), you'll make your way to our carefully selected boutique hotel. A friendly member of our team will be on hand in the lobby from 2 PM onward to assist with hotel check-in. After you've freshened up, join us at the designated meeting point for a light refreshment and your Paris welcome packet, complete with maps, emergency contacts, and your the experience itinerary.
Introductions & Welcome
At 5 PM, we'll gather in our private garden terrace. E.N. Howie will open with a brief inspirational address, setting the tone for transformation and connection. You'll have the chance to introduce yourself to fellow participants in a guided ice-breaker exercise designed to foster instant camaraderie and spark meaningful conversation.
Dinner
At 6 PM, we'll move to a lovingly restored bistro just steps from the Seine. Over a three-course meal of classic French fare, think seasonal salad, coq au vin (or a vegetarian specialty), and a decadent dessert, you'll have time to deepen new friendships. Our chef is happy to accommodate dietary needs; please let us know any allergies or preferences ahead of time.
After-Dinner Walk
As dusk settles, we'll take a gentle 30-minute stroll along the riverbank, pausing at the Pont des Arts for a moment of reflection and to admire the city's twinkling lights. This short walk serves as a living "quiet time," allowing you to absorb the energy of Paris and set your intentions for the days ahead.
Evening Journaling & Expression of Intention
Back at the hotel by 8:30 PM, you'll receive your Awakening Journal. In the privacy of your room or in the hotel's lounge nook, spend 20 minutes capturing your first impressions, hopes, and intentions for this week-long journey. This simple practice of writing, "What I intend to awaken within me…", grounds your experience and primes your subconscious for growth.

Brand & Heart Workshop

Free-Roam Time
After lunch, enjoy free-roam time to uncover hidden ateliers, savor a gourmet macaron, or simply bask in the boulevard's energy. Return by 5:30 PM for an informal evening reflective chat in the hotel's lounge, sharing "aha" moments and insights on how you'll infuse purpose into your everyday.

Day 3
Vision & Clarity
Morning Session: Foundations of Identity
At 8:30 AM, we'll gather in the hotel's light-filled conference room for our "Identity & History" session. E.N. Howie will draw parallels between the Louvre's storied past and our personal journeys of self-discovery. Through guided discussion and partner exercises, you'll explore how layers of history in the world's greatest museum mirror the layers of your own identity.
"In the Light" Experience
At 10:00 AM, we'll step into the Tuileries Garden for a centering breathing ceremony. Surrounded by sculpted greenery and flowing fountains, you'll engage in a brief mindfulness exercise that opens your mind and heart before you enter the museum, so you can truly "see" beyond stone and canvas.

Guided Museum Visit
From 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM, join our expert guide for a two-hour tour of the Louvre's highlights. You'll stand before the Mona Lisa, trace the wings of Victory, and discover a hidden fresco in a quiet corridor, each piece illuminating themes of purpose, resilience, and transformation.

At 3:00 PM, the rest of the afternoon is yours to roam. Stroll the Tuileries & Orangerie, cross to Musée d'Orsay, explore Saint-Germain-des-Prés, wander Île de la Cité, browse the Bouquinistes, sketch in the Sully Wing, or shop Rue de Rivoli.
Reflective Chat & Journal Exercise
At 7:30 PM, we'll reconvene in the hotel's salon for a casual reflective chat. Tonight, revisit "The Plan" chapter in your journal: "Which element of my personal vision am I ready to outline today, inspired by the Louvre's balance of tradition and innovation?"
