A Place to Gather, Rest and Reconnect
At Shanti Lake, we offer more than a place to stay. We offer a peaceful setting for retreats, workshops, trainings, creative projects, wellness experiences, private gatherings and time in nature.
Located within the Domaine de la Grausse, in the Ariège region of the South of France, Shanti Lake is a family-led retreat venue shaped by the land, the surrounding nature, and the people who come here to pause, reconnect and share meaningful experiences.
Our Story
We are Julien and Jenny, and together with our children, we have made Domaine de la Grausse our home. After years living in Switzerland, Spain, England and the United States, we were drawn to this beautiful corner of the French Pyrenees, where we are gradually restoring and developing the property with care, intention and respect for its history.
Our vision for Shanti Lake is simple: to create a welcoming and flexible space where teachers, facilitators, groups and individuals can bring their own retreats and projects to life.
Retreats at Shanti Lake
Shanti Lake welcomes retreats and gatherings of all kinds, including yoga, meditation, wellness, creative workshops, professional trainings, team offsites, educational programs and nature-based experiences.
Each group brings its own energy, practice and purpose. Our role is to provide the setting: comfortable accommodation, inspiring spaces, access to nature, and a calm environment where people can rest, learn, connect and recharge.
Come As You Are
Whether you come for a retreat, a workshop, a private gathering or a quiet stay in nature, you are welcome here.
Shanti Lake is a place to slow down, breathe, share, create and reconnect — in your own way.
