The Light Keepers of the France Retreat
The Light Keepers are the women who hold this experience together. Each of us arrived at this work through our own unraveling and returning. What we bring to you has been lived, not borrowed. We are not here to direct your journey but rather to walk beside you through it We each bring own gifts, their own stories, and their own way of seeing.
Meet the people who will hold you.
Mandy Jarvis - Sacred Energy Keeper
Mandy is an Integrative Energy Healer who is devoted to walking beside women and young women through the tender, complicated space between who they’ve been and who they’re becoming. Her work weaves breathwork, frequency, somatics, and intuitive guidance with ancestral and past life work, ley lines, sacred geometry, and the wisdom of The Ancients and Spiritual Guides, all in service of bringing each woman home to herself.
Frequency has become the signature of her practice: a gift for sensing which tones open the body and which vibration helps something long held finally release. What Mandy brings isn’t borrowed from a curriculum. It has been lived, integrated, and woven into the tapestry of everything she offers.
At this retreat, she is the Sacred Energy Keeper alongside Katie, the central thread that creates and holds the containers, reads the room, and knows when to activate and when to simply be still. And if you catch her giggling while she works, join in. Joy and playfulness are part of the journey.

Athena is our green witch, and the one you’ll want next to you on a walk through the hills, because she can tell you most of what is growing alongside you. She’s studying horticulture, which makes her half scientist, half plant whisperer, and fully obsessed with the magic in dirt, leaves, and everything that blooms.
In the kitchen, Athena moonlights behind the scenes, feverishly chopping veggies, utilizing her knowledge of every leaf and root feeding the alchemy of our Kitchen Sorceress.
Athena Poulson- Green Witch
Jillian discovered her love of cooking through homeschooling chemistry, which tells you everything about how her mind works. That curiosity became a calling that took her through kitchens in Thailand, Italy, and beyond, and into a Michelin-starred restaurant in Provence, where she worked under a two-Michelin-starred chef.
Trained in French technique, she believes presentation matters but flavor is always king. At our retreat, she is our Kitchen Sorceress, bringing the intuition and magic of someone who knows a well-crafted meal can do what words sometimes cannot.
