This immersive Fantasy Photoshoot Retreat invites you into a world where wildness and romance live side by side. Led by photographer Vanessa Bussoletti, the week unfolds with the natural ease of a fairytale—where the fertile earth, the call of the wind, and the story of old stones gather around you like familiar spirits. Here, in the golden September light of Château de Puy Vidal, you step into three dreamlike versions of yourself: the wild Maiden, the radiant Sovereign Queen, and the beautifully Haunted Romantic who knows the wind by name.

The photography in this retreat works as a journal- that captures you as you awaken the facets of yourself that lie dormant and hidden in a world of loud demands. The part of you that feels the “call of the wild” in your bones. The part of you that has an ancient heart and a childlike spirit. Through inner exploration, poetic styling, and the intimacy of being seen through an artist’s lens, you’ll discover that these inner heroines were never gone—only waiting.

And because this unfolding happens in fellowship with a small circle of kindred spirits, everything deepens. There is something sacred about being witnessed by other women reclaiming their beauty, their wildness, their softness. Evenings become alive, glowing celebrations—dinners by candlelight, immersive atmospheres, and festivities. Here, nestled among the elements, you come home to yourself.

You leave not only with luminous portraits, but with proof:
that you can be gentle and fierce, romantic and untamed, soft and sovereign;
that all of these selves can coexist;
that your inner heroines are ready to step into the light.

Step into a world where the multitudes within you are welcomed, and where the heroine you’ve always sensed within you finally rises, fully and unmistakably, into being.
