Do not fill the quiet Protect it
March 15th - 19th 2027
A five-day journey for women navigating midlife, changing roles, identity shifts and life transitions.
Your Yport retreat begins here:
Meet the Team
Teresa & Sabine are two friends in our mid-fifties, living in New York City, who met while navigating personal and professional turning points. We come from different backgrounds, but we share the experience of reaching a moment when familiar roles fall away—and the question
“What now?” becomes deeply personal.
Our retreat grew from that experience.
After an unexpected job loss and a challenging search for her next role, Teresa accepted Sabine’s invitation to pause in the quiet village of Yport.
There was no demand to figure everything out. There was room to pause, experience the quiet of village life, and be met with friendship. For Teresa, that stay helped her reframe her life, become clearer about what she wanted, and begin to see new directions.
We want to offer others what mattered to us: a welcoming place to step back when life is changing, without pressure to have an answer or become someone new. A place where quiet, sound meditation, and thoughtful companionship make room for reflection.
Our purpose is not to tell you what your next chapter should look like. It is to offer space—to hear yourself more clearly, reconnect with what matters to you, and explore what might come next, in your own time.
Reflection facilitator & host
Teresa Low
Teresa is from Singapore and spent many years in executive roles in corporate marketing.
When she lost her job, she found herself facing an unfamiliar uncertainty: not knowing what she wanted to do next. An invitation to stay in Yport became an opportunity to step away from the pace and expectations of her everyday life.
Sound meditation facilitator & host
Sabine Feuilloley
Sabine is French, with roots in Yport. Living abroad for most of her life and spending many years working in fashion, her own period of crisis led her toward wellness and the practice of offering sound meditation. Along the way, she came to value something simple: during times of transition, we do not always need more advice or another plan. Sometimes, what we need most is quiet, time, and someone who makes us feel supported.
Genius Loci & host
Yport, FRANCE
Yport is a tranquil and charming fisherman village nested in the Alabaster Normandie coast. Over the centuries, its white cliffs, pebble beach, woody valley and flintstone houses have inspired a large array of painters, writers and city dwellers. Life in Yport has quietly revolved around the sea and its rhythm.
DAY 1
Arrive
I am here. This time is mine.
Transition out of everyday life. Slow the pace and settle into Yport, and the group.
You don't need to accomplish anything here.
DAY 2
Listen
Who have I been? What am I carrying?
Begin listening beneath the noise of everyday roles and responsibilities. Recognize patterns, strengths and parts of yourself you may not see.
DAY 3
Release
What am I ready to put down?
Create space. Not reject the past, but recognize what helped you get here and decide what no longer needs to be carried forward.
DAY 4
See
What matters to me now?
Perspective. After slowing down, listening and putting something down, begin looking forward.
DAY 5
Return
How do I stay connected to
myself when I go home?
Integration rather than another insight exercise.
You are not becoming a new person.
You are returning home more connected to yourself.
"Yport is tranquil in the most beautiful way."

Accommodation
Step into a little piece of Sabine family history and discover the charm of these authentic fishermen’s cottages. Tucked back from the street in the heart of the village, they offer a cozy hideaway just a short stroll from the sea, local shops, and cafés. Their sunny patios, sheltered from the ocean breeze, invite you to linger over morning coffee or unwind after a day by the shore.
