About The Retreat
AliKats has teamed up with Great Heights Pathways to offer fully catered, holistic mountain retreats based in Morzine, France.
Press pause on the everyday. Immerse yourself in nature. Work with a life and leadership coach to support you through challenge and change.
Tune inwards with yoga and meditation. Allow our mountain guides to take you beyond the beaten path. Nourish yourself with seasonal, delicious food from some of the best chefs in the Alps.
For those ready to open their eyes, hearts, and souls after winter hibernations, here’s a taste of what you’ll experience in this awakening:
We start the experience with self-reflection exercises and a two hour pre-retreat coaching session with Caitlin where you’ll delve into the changes you’re making and set clear, personal intentions for you.
A journey into the wild. Like all our Back to Nature retreats, this is a personal development experience that combines deep curiosity about your inner world with nature, movement, learning and human connection.
It involves coaching conversations (1-1 and group), hiking between 5-20km per day, daily meditation and yoga, nourishing food, a luxurious place to call home, and sharing stories among strangers who quickly become friends.
We work with that creative and energetic charge to help you accelerate your work and life changes. Expect to be invigorated by mountain hikes with rewarding views, wild swimming, forest bathing, outdoor campfires, and more.

Reviews
“I went into the weekend with an open mind, open heart, ready for whatever the elements and Caitlin had in store for us. I wasn’t disappointed by either! It was truly a ‘working out’ for body, mind and soul – revitalising to the core. The exercises Caitlin facilitated gave me new perspectives from which to interrogate my personal and work life and the yoga connected the physical to the elemental in the most perfect way. I loved connecting with the other women on board and hope to stay in touch. I feel nourished from the time in nature, new connections and delicious journey from beginning to end. Thank you Caitlin!” – Tara, Business Founder, 33, London
“We just finished a wonderful weekend with Great Heights Pathways. Get out of your comfort zone and daily routine by embracing nature and yourself. A weekend of companionship and self-reflection. A valuable experience for everyone!” – Jake, Financier, 50, London
“As a retreat newbie, I arrived excited and unsure about what was to come, and what inspirations and revelations the weekend would produce. After 2 days challenging myself physically and mentally, I feel inspired and grounded in equal measure. Stunning nature, physical adventure and well thought-out dialogue with a mixed group has shifted my perspective and pushed me out of my comfort zone. I’m leaving with a re-energised sense of adventure, helpful insights and a new community. Caitlin’s passion for nature and the holistic approach to yoga created a safe and welcome environment to be transformed or to simply relish in the here and now.” – Meghan, Business Consultant, 33, London
