2023 Chamonix Firegirl Retreat
June 17-22, 2023
Chamonix, France
Move Your Body.
Still Your Mind.
Join us in the French Alps for a 6-day/5-night, all-women, mindfulness and movement retreat at one of our favorite places on earth.
Chamonix, France.
Tucked high in the French Alps, Chamonix is known for world-class hiking, skiing, climbing, and endurance running. Home to the very first winter Olympics and the world-famous Marathon Du Mont Blanc, Chamonix offers the best of French food and hospitality and some of the loveliest alpine views in the world.
Embodiment is Our Focus.
Some of us need to remember how to be still and know. Some of us need to let nature - fresh air and steep mountains - remind us we actually have bodies that want to move.
At the 2023 Chamonix Firegirl Retreat, we’ll do both.
This six-day intensive retreat is a reset button for your mind, your muscles, and your nervous system, but it will do your heart and spirit good too.
With cutting-edge, trauma-informed coaching we will identify some root causes of anxiety and fear and learn new practices for working with them while moving our bodies in delightful, refreshing locations all over the Chamonix Valley.
At Girl Catch Fire, we also believe that healing and restoration are best done in community. Our retreats are a place for vulnerability, joy, honesty, and courage. Some of our retreat alumni have become friends for life.
Two Options
Firegirl Retreats are intimate spaces for high-level life and performance coaching. We believe that happens best when the retreat feels a bit like a slumber party.
However, we recognize that while some women want all that late-night, yoga-pants camaraderie, others want their own room and en suite bath.
We’re cool with either approach and this year in Chamonix you can choose.
Option 1
Shared Lodging in one of our two Retreat Houses.
Six days Five nights, all-inclusive food, and lodging in a beautiful private home in Chamonix.
Both properties are easy walking distance from each other and the village. They both include hot tubs, big front porches and HUGE views.
There are lovely single, and double occupancy rooms with views. The houses are 5BR 3BA.
You can book a single room (depending on availability).
You can book in with a friend and be roommates. Or we can give you a roommate who can become a new BFF.
Included is an airport transfer to/from Geneva Airport at a set time around 11 am on Saturday 6/17, returning on 6/22 at approximately 10 am.
Included are three gluten-free, paleo-leaning, green-heavy meals per day. Plus evening happy hours, French wine, and dessert.
We’ll also host challenging, daily group coaching sessions full of inspiration and leading-edge, trauma-informed, personal development strategy.
Guided meditations, yoga, and a trip up the famous Aiguille du Midi. The highest point in Europe accessible by cable car.
Plus, awesome, hot-off-the-press Firegirl swag and a few other surprises!
In-House: $4200
Option 2
You arrange your own lodging and participate fully in every other way.
We recommend Hotel Le Morgane because it’s in the village, on the river & on the road to the retreat house. 10 min walk.
Le Morgane is a lovely hotel, with a pool and spa and views of the mountains. However, you’re welcome to lodge where you like. We can make a number of recommendations.
This option, minus the lodging, is still all-inclusive of meals, training materials, van transport, etc.
Alternatively, you can request the retreat location and look for an Airbnb in the immediate area.
Since the retreat will be held at the retreat house and various locations determined by weather etc, it’s advisable to lodge as close as possible. We can send you the exact location of the Retreat House.

What do people say about
Firegirl Retreats?
“Everything about this retreat was restful and encouraging. The deep conversations, the community...not to mention the freedom to hike and explore in a beautiful environment, surrounded by delicious food. ”
“This week in France has been full of tears and laughter, preservation and perseverance, small sparks of fire to reignite my purpose.””
“I left the retreat with greater peace and was challenged to dream big about the future.”
“How liberating it is to realize that I can write a deliberate, empowering new story for my own life, and confidently execute it. I cannot wait to meet the person that I am becoming, as I know I have waited for her to have the courage to emerge for a very long time”
“I’m appreciative of your strong sense of faith and how that guides you to guide others. I’m not a Christian, but always felt completely aligned with your spirituality throughout our journey.”
“Erin was so frustrating. She wouldn’t tell me what to do. And that was the whole point and she knew it. I’d been living to take care of and please everyone else. The questions guide me to find me. What do I WANT? And how to move one star at a time to get it. It has been a slow “marinade”. But the journey is worth it.”
“I will never forget how God will use us to work on His behalf in someone else’s life. I needed to be rescued and he sent you.”
“Erin was great at picking up on things that I said which highlighted subconscious thoughts, and helped me articulate some things I was feeling but could not put my finger on. Erin is a perceptive listener who readily reflects back to you what she hears. ”
