The concept

May 21st-June 6th 2026 &
September 20th-26th 2026

The Surf & Meditation retreat is the result of a collaboration between Natural Surf Lodge and Marie, founder of Terra Atlaya. Marie teaches meditation locally, from Hossegor to Moliets. Combining surfing with meditation offers a unique experience by the ocean in Seignosse, in the Landes region. During this retreat, you will train your body and mind to be fully present in every moment through surfing and meditation – the best way to look after yourself.

Meditation and Forest bathing

The Surf & Meditation retreat also offers the chance to try forest bathing. It involves a two-hour immersion in nature to experience the Landes forest. This practice promotes grounding, mindfulness and regeneration. It is an excellent complement to meditation. Nestled between forest and ocean, the beauty of the Landes countryside provides the perfect setting for this experience. Meditating to the sounds of the forest and focusing on choosing the right wave and making the right move at just the right moment (right place/right time) allows you to cultivate presence in the moment and explore a different way of inhabiting your body and mind. This break in the heart of nature is a unique experience to recharge your batteries deeply, leaving you energised and imbued with the good vibes of the Landes.

    Marie — who is she?

    Marie is the founder of Terra Atlaya, a meditation school based on the Landes Atlantic coast, between Hossegor and Moliets. She has been teaching meditation locally for several years with an approach anchored in nature and the Atlantic landscape — pine forest, ocean, dunes. Her collaboration with Natural Surf Lodge grew naturally from a geographical and pedagogical alignment: the Landes, between forest and ocean, is an ideal setting for an embodied, sensory meditation practice. Marie leads all 8 meditation sessions of the week — morning and afternoon — and guides the forest bathing experience.
