La Rentrée
The Return
September 15th - 17th, 2026
An intimate retreat in Paris for women ready to return to themselves, reset with intention, and step boldly into their next chapter.
Reignite your curiosity, courage, creativity, and community in the City of Light.
La Rentrée—the French word for Return—is Paris's most electric season.
It's the moment when the city exhales from summer and surges back to life: galleries reopen, café terraces fill, and something in the air says now is the time.
This retreat invites you into that energy. You'll arrive at the turning point of the year and leave with the clarity, courage, and community to walk fully into what comes next.
No two retreats are the same — because no two groups of women are.
Each GenerateHER retreat is rooted in the rhythm of Les Saisons — crafted around the women who attend and the energy they bring.
Every element of La Rentrée is designed after I know who's joining me. You won't get a minute-by-minute itinerary in advance, because the retreat only comes to life when you do.
This is what makes it rare: this exact gathering will never happen again.
If you're looking for a pre-packaged program, this isn't it. If you're ready for something designed entirely for you, there may still be a seat.
This retreat is for women who:
-Want a level of care that is intentional and rare
- Are ready to let every conversation, experience, and quiet moment turn into magic
-Are willing to show up fully, and be changed by what they find
Each retreat is designed to balance structure with freedom—blending group connection and personal reflection—while giving space to explore creatively and uncover fresh perspectives for what’s next.
Example Itinerary
The itinerary will only be finalized once I know who will be joining me in Paris; each day will unfold with intention and flow, balancing guided sessions, creative discovery, and quiet reflection.
Arrival - Welcome Reception
Meet your people.
There's something that happens when the right women gather in Paris. We'll come together for an intimate evening reception — a chance to connect, settle in, and recognize the remarkable women who will share this experience with you. The retreat begins the moment you walk through the door.
Day 1 - Jardin Secret
How to Identify, Tend, and Act on Your Hidden Dream
Some ideas don't announce themselves loudly. They wait.
Today is the day you finally listen. Through hands-on creative exploration and guided deep reflection, you'll uncover the desires that have been quietly growing — and begin giving them light, language, and life.
Lunch & evening apéro included.
Day 2 - The Four Pillars of Risk-Taking
Courage. Community. Curiosity. Creativity.
This is the heart of the retreat — the mindset shift.
What does it really mean to take a risk while staying true to yourself? Through creative exercises, movement, group discussion, and peer mentoring, you'll stop waiting for permission and start building the foundation for your next chapter.
Lunch included.
Day 3 - Designing What’s Next
Future Forecasting and Planning
Vision without a plan is just a wish.
Today, we turn everything you've uncovered into a clear, aligned framework — personal, creative, or professional. You won't leave Paris wondering what to do next. You'll leave knowing.
Lunch & closing dinner included.
La Réimmersion
Back in your world. Permanently changed.
You'll return to your everyday life — but you won't return the same. You'll carry with you a renewed sense of what's possible, a community of women cheering you on, and a plan that is entirely, unapologetically yours.

“Blown complacency out the window.”
Three days of Jane's Parisian immersion has blown complacency out the window. I can't think of another person who could have brought together a more inspiring group of professionals whose expertise was so specific yet so relevant. I recognize small daily gifts and act on larger opportunities with more courage and gratitude — and without expectation."

Bonjour. I’m Jane Bertch
Why come on this journey with me? My own life has been a testament to embracing change.
I’ve built a life across two foreign countries and navigated three significant career shifts, including leaping from a corporate role into entrepreneurship in an unfamiliar industry and country. Having done it myself on several occasions, I love working with others. My Executive Master’s from INSEAD Business School in France, specializing in Psychodynamics—the psychology of change—deeply influences how I work. It’s shown me, time and again, that true transformation begins with investing in ourselves. I’m excited to share that journey with you.
