In this episode, Leni Cavazos sits down with Agathe Lazaro, designer, retreat space curator, and founder of sacred retreat properties in Provence, France and Pondicherry, India, to explore the deeper layers of retreat creation. This conversation bridges the worlds of hospitality, neuroscience, sensory intelligence, and retreat leadership, revealing why the most powerful retreats are designed with far more than schedules and workshops. ⬛️ In this episode, you’ll discover: ▪️ Why the retreat experience begins long before participants arrive ▪️ How sensory intelligence impacts transformation during retreats ▪️ The connection between beauty, safety, and the nervous system ▪️ Why retreat leaders must act as the “weavers” of the experience ▪️ How subtle details in space, scent, sound, and environment influence the entire journey As Leni often says, a profitable retreat isn’t just about filling the room, it’s about creating an experience that people remember, recommend, and return to. This episode reveals the deeper layer of how that happens. &amp;nbsp; 💬 Connect with today’s guest Agathe Lazaro 🌐 http://www.agathelazaro.com📱 https://www.instagram.com/agathe.lazaro.harmonies/ &amp;nbsp; 🖤 Enjoying the podcast?
