change the world
Clos de Gaye is built on a vision that extraordinary things can happen when individuals and communities come together to take part in inspirational experiences that bring healing to our world.
Our founder, Caroline Watson, is a recognised global leader and visionary entrepreneur who has created multiple projects that work with both grassroots and high-level leaders to bring about transformative change around the world.
In addition to our local programmes, Clos de Gaye is also the site of a series of residential retreats, action summits and meetings that aim to bring together both international and local leaders committed to going beyond the destruction we see around us, bringing a new world into being.
We also run an active programme of events and workshops for local underserved communities in the Béarn area and have a particular interest in supporting migrant, refugee and displaced populations, in line with our founder’s background in international development and humanitarian work.
