ESSENCE OF EARTH

Spain Retreat

5th - 8th September 2025

A beautiful opportunity to come together and enjoy the final days of summer, journeying into the sacred space within ourselves to nurture, nourish and connect to our inner essence and the essence of earth.

This Friday to Monday retreat includes practices to help you tune into the elements, stillness and Self; set within a nature reserve in southern Spain, energeticaly charged by mountains of milky quartz and iron ore, with wild swimming, sunshine, an empty to-do list and the chance to simply be - it’s the perfect gift for your mind, body and soul as we start preparing for the shift that comes with the Autumn Equinox.

Let’s deepen our connection with Mother Nature and consciously bring summer to a close with gratitude in our hearts, clarity within our minds, clean air in our lungs and sunshine in our cells.
