Down to earth

RETIRO ANDALUZ

We take you to Andalusia for a 5-day retreat immersed in the stunning nature and culture of the Alpujarras. You will stay at an exclusive location where we place equal emphasis on the physical and the inner landscape.

FOR WHOM

For those who need a reset, ‘something different,” and for those who want to grow in this short life. Back to nature — including your own. Suitable for both beginners and advanced participants.

THE BODY

In preparation, you will receive the Body course. This ensures your energy is already elevated upon arrival. You’ll arrive fit and mentally sharp, allowing the retreat to have an even greater impact.

CORE

Body

We go from from head to body. Less thinking, more feeling.

Mindset

Energy management and building a growth mindset.

Silence

Moving inward - nature, meditation, and relaxation.

Daily program

Morning

07:30 → Body

Carmen leads yoga / Pilates and stress-release exercises.

Carmen’s sessions are ideal for starting the day actively.

For clarity: we work with a small group, allowing Carmen to easily adapt between beginners and advanced participants.

08:15 → Meditation

Marcus guides meditation / mindfulness. Beginners are gently introduced to meditation step by step.

09:30 → Breakfast

Enjoy a generous breakfast!

Afternoon

Space

Before and after lunch we have free time which is just as important as the practices we do. It deepens relaxation, and this is where experience meets integration.

Integration is essential – our aim is to continue along this (new) path where relaxation becomes part of lifestyle.

In practical terms?

This phase of the day is ideal for silence, the mountains, the river, a coffee on the central square, or perhaps a visit to one of the famous white villages. You might also take a nature walk — mindfully with Marcus, or simply on your own.

Evening

17:00 → Workshop

In the late afternoon, there is a workshop inspired by the day’s program. We explore topics such as the body, energy optimization, integration, meditation and mindfulness.

18:00 → Dinner

21:00 → Closing

Meditation followed by a Q&A reflecting on the meditation and/or exercises.

Down to earth → We have access to a beautiful wooden temple. With the sounds of nature all around, you naturally come to rest. There’s nothing you need to do.

Kitchen

All meals are included and freshly prepared. We serve healthy, delicious, nourishing, and well-balanced vegan meals (an option with eggs is available). Ingredients are locally sourced, organic where possible, and — when available — from our own garden. This results in wholesome raw, vegan, and vegetarian dishes.

We are happy to accommodate guests with food allergies and often prepare gluten-free and dairy-free meals — all served with care and love.

You can view this retreat as a gentle way to cleanse body and mind. Your body will be renewed in various ways. Please let us know if you have any special requests so we can take them into account.
