Rest. Renew. Reconnect
A retreat for women
Suniai Oliva, Spain
September 20th-24th 2027. 5 days/4 nights
Hello friends,
I'd love you to join me for a deeply relaxing, nourishing & rejuvenating retreat. Set among orange groves just outside Oliva in the tranquil Valencian region of Spain, this retreat is an invitation to take a pause from the busyness of your daily life.
You will be held with love & care as we slow down together, give our nervous systems space to reset & listen to the whisper of our hearts.
When we gift ourselves space to rest & reconnect with our true essence, a natural healing unfolds in its own time. We emerge with renewed aliveness & zest for life.
We will nurture mind, body & soul with nutritious food, prepared with love; gentle embodied movement; True Rest meditation; conscious dance; breathwork; a therapeutic sound bath & enriching company.
There will be plenty of free time to relax by the pool, explore the nearby beach, take a walk or connect with like-hearted friends.
This retreat is a welcoming, non-judgemental space for all. No prior experience of yoga or meditation is necessary. Come just as you are & leave renewed.
"The world is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper" W.B. Yeats
