Yearly Retreat

Once a year, I invite a small group to step out of the routine and give the practice room to breathe. We live together and recalibrate to a natural rhythm, we share delicious meals and let the days unfold: morning meditation and practice, long brunches, afternoons of rest and walking, evenings of gentle practice and conversation.

We arrive on Saturday 8 May in the afternoon and close on Wednesday 13 May after breakfast, five days, four nights. This is the deepest way I know to share this work: how to live and embody it for several days and return home changed. 

Mallorca in May is coming into its best. The light is soft, the air smells of spring and the summer crowds haven't yet arrived. Our retreat house sits peacefully with expansive views across fields to the Tramuntana mountains.

We will swim in the sea, walk a part of the dry stone paths and eat outdoors under the trees. The island does half the work for us: it slows you down before you've even unrolled your mat.

Mornings begin in silence with meditation and practice in the studio, which opens onto the terrace and the hills beyond. Afternoons are for rest by the garden, on the terrace or out exploring: markets, villages, walks and swims. Evenings we eat together, long tables and long talks before quiet retreating into our peaceful rooms. 

Nothing is compulsory, everything is optional. Most people leave standing differently, breathing differently, feel rested and re-inspired.

We have the a beautifully restored authentic Mallorcan family home to ourselves: simple, beautiful rooms, a stunning practice studio with views to the mountains, shaded terraces for meals and gardens to disappear into. Rooms are shared twins, with a limited number of single rooms available on request.
