Host your retreat at the big fields
A hidden gem for small retreats in nature
Are you a coach, therapist, or facilitator dreaming of a space that feels both grounded and expansive – where your group can settle, soften, and reconnect with what really matters?
At The Big Fields, we welcome intimate retreats for up to 10 people. Whether you’re leading a one-on-one therapy weekend, a women’s circle, a yoga gathering, or a creative business mastermind – we’d love to hear from you.
Rooted in nature
You lead, we support
Host it your way
Host your retreat in summer 2025
Now in soft-opening phase
We’re currently in the process of bringing this place fully to life – building extra guest rooms, expanding the garden, adding spaces to gather, rest, and play.
This means:
- A few spots are available this summer and autumn (2025) for early groups of max 7 people
- At a reduced rate, in exchange for flexibility and feedback
- It’s simple, cozy, and full of heart – but not ‘finished’ yet.
If your retreat thrives on authenticity, connection, and nature (rather than hotel polish), this could be a magical place to start.
What to expect
You lead, we support
Want to focus solely on guiding your group – and let us handle the rest?
We’d love to support you with the planning, logistics, and on-site presence so you can stay in your zone. From meals to mood to movement – we’ve got you.
We can assist with:
- Horse-guided coaching sessions
- Yoga classes
- Local walking or hiking routes
- Campfire circles
- A visiting massage therapist or bodyworker
- Shuttles to and from the nearest train stations
- A snack & tea station throughout the day
- Optional arrival rituals or closing ceremonies
- Creative sessions with natural materials
- Visits to nearby lakes, markets or forests
Tell us your vision, and we’ll help bring it to life.
Our location
Why here?
The Big Fields is tucked away in the rolling hills of the Vosges – quiet, green, and just far enough from everyday life. Surrounded by forest, meadows, and starry skies, it’s a place where people exhale and reconnect.
It’s easy to reach by car or train (not too far from the Netherlands or Belgium), and offers the kind of privacy and spaciousness that lets a group really drop in.
Here, you’ll find not just a venue, but a sense of home. Whether you’re sitting by the fire, walking with the horses, sharing a meal from our garden, or guiding your group through transformation – you’ll feel the land holding you.
