"Change starts from Within"
Whether you’re in need of rest, inspiration or a reset and boost – this retreat will do just that and more! It’s no secret that there’s something mystical and powerful about being in Ibiza. Added to this, the intentions, practices and actions we’ll cultivate over the week make this the turning point you’ve been looking for and your body has been craving!
The traditional finca ‘Casa del Karma’ will embrace you with a homely hug, immersed in typical Ibizan country-side, surrounded by farms and groves. Early in the morning, we’ll stroll down to the ‘mother tree’ the largest tree of the Balearic isles, to sit in silence, ground and welcome the sun as it rises over the hills.
We’ll be nourished with a delicious, cleansing, healthy, local (organic where possible) and anti-inflammatory diet. We’ll enjoy practice twice a day, hike along the coastline, forests, explore some of Ibiza’s magic together, connect with like minded people and have plenty of time for contemplation.

‘REALINE’ combines over 13 years of study in yoga, Bowspring, massage and meditation with the latest findings in fascia (connective tissue) and tensegrity. The practice teaches natural spinal alignment, encourages agile movements and results in balanced, pain-free, joyful embodiment. You’ll notice physical, mental and emotional benefits as your body moves more naturally, your focus becomes embodied and embodiment becomes more joyful. During the retreat you’ll learn the basic shapes and transitions to take your practice with you and integrate a healthy posture into your daily life. Bands, weights and massage balls are included in the practice for extra awakening of parts forgotten or asleep. You’ll leave with a renewed sense of self and with tools and practices to continue at home. Practices will lead us on a progressive journey of activation through different parts of the body, towards a sense of full embodiment where all parts work in harmony, reaching a ‘Shining body & soul’.
MEALS are primarily local, organic where possible, anti-inflammatory and vegetarian. For those who eat eggs, we serve our own farm eggs by our 9 happy resident chickens. Some of our home-grown produce will be also be served. Breakfast and lunches will be our main meals with a light dinner at the end of the day.
We’ll include a demo on how to make the infamous ‘Life Changing Loaf of Bread’
Midweek you’ll have a WHOLE DAY REST with optional morning meditation, practice and breakfast. The rest of the day is ALL YOURS to do exactly as you please! Dani will offer an optional day trip to Formentera for anybody who would like to join (there is an additional charge for this), or you may choose to take a full advantage for a full day silence and maybe even try fasting for the day! It’s up to you.
LOCAL SIGHTSEEING most days (weather dependent) include visiting beaches, local markets or an adventure to the other side of the island to watch the sunset at magical Es Vedra.
NOBLE SILENCE provides the space for insight. It’s harder for insight and ‘AHA’s to happen when we are engaged with others, listening and talking. This is a time for you. It is highly encouraged to disconnect from work emails, phone calls and messages as much as possible. Please do not use this as a work retreat. This is Rest & Recharge retreat. Minimise input and maximise presence. Casa del Karma is a space for rest and retreat in a peaceful surrounding.

Food
There's something quite special about being cooked for all week, and even more so when it's lovingly prepared with fresh, nutritious and cleansing ingredients (local & organic where possible). After just 2-3 days, you'll start to notice changes in your body. Diet is a primary cause for disease and illness. By boosting your system with healthy, fresh meals, you'll leave feeling not only re-energized but also re-inspired with new ideas and a desire to keep looking after yourself. Our hope is that you take many ideas from this retreat to integrate into your lifestyle.
