Frida Retreat - Pain seminar on Lanzarote

The Frida Retreat is a biographical project. We deal with our life story, especially with the ruptures in our biography. The retreat is aimed at everyone in whose everyday life pain plays a role - regardless of what kind of pain it is. To what extent are we affected by our pain? Where can we start to take back control?

Painting against pain...
Inspired by Frida Kahlo, who processed her physical and mental pain in wonderful and impressive paintings and thus made it a little more bearable...

The Frida Retreat takes place in the protected space of an old Canarian finca. A good place to come to rest and reflect on the essentials.

The offer is available both in individual settings and in small groups of up to 6 people and lasts 15 hours. Individual sessions can also be booked on request.

Perhaps you would also be interested in a combined offer with an overnight stay? Please do not hesitate to contact me.

As far as accommodation is concerned, I usually make sure that my clients find their own accommodation in the local area. This is simply because everyone has different requirements. Some want their own apartment, while others may just want a simple room. Both are available in the immediate vicinity. I live and work on a finca in La Vegueta, a small Canarian village in the center of the island. Just have a look at Airbnb or Booking. They will show you all the available options for your dates and you can also look at photos. I will also be happy to help you with a few tips.

Or perhaps you would like a complete package for your retreat? There are also accommodation options at my finca. You can either choose your own cottage or share a cottage. Please do not hesitate to contact me.

Meals are not included, as there are also very different needs here. You decide for yourself what is good and right for you. As a rule, you can cater for yourself in your accommodation - either you have your own kitchen or at least cooking facilities. There is a small supermarket in the village where you can buy the essentials, while a larger supermarket is in the next town. On Sundays there is a small farmers' market where local farmers sell their produce. There are also several bars and restaurants in the surrounding area.

Every retreat is individual, which is why the program is tailored to you. Even though we work in a small group, there is enough space for your personal process. We work on 5 days for 3 hours each - the times are coordinated with the participants.

Arrive on your own. If you would like to explore the island or go to the beach outside of the retreat program, we recommend booking a rental car. There are bus connections, but the buses don't run very often and the connection from village to village often involves changing buses. A car gives you more flexibility and you can make much better use of your free time. If you book a car in advance, it will be waiting for you at the airport and you can drive straight to your accommodation.
