Summary

ARRIVE, RELAX, REFUEL – this is the place where you will find ideal conditions and pleasant temperatures for your break all year round. Be fully present, be yourself, from the very first moment. The all-inclusive retreat includes accommodation, meditation, Feldenkrais, all meals, and several mindfulness island excursions where you will experience the breathtaking nature of La Palma. The seminar house "Casa Las Enanas" is a historic Canarian townhouse located in close proximity to the well-maintained beach.

THE MINDFULNESS PROGRAM begins with Zazen and Qi Gong, which are morning meditations that bring the mind and body into a state of calm and mindfulness. After breakfast, you can participate in a relaxing Feldenkrais class. These lessons will help you find your inner balance and rhythm and focus your attention on the present moment. This seminar places a special focus on the effects of breathing as well as clear seeing and walking.

OUR ISLAND EXCURSIONS take you into the beautiful nature of the green volcanic island, which has been declared a biosphere reserve in its entirety. Among the adventures that await you are relaxing hikes through laurel forests, lava fields, blooming landscapes, and a night walk under the starry sky.

GABRIELE LEX is a Feldenkrais and meditation teacher. She ran the mindfulness studio "Panta Rhei" in Berlin for 25 years and also worked there as a therapist. She has been practicing Zen and mindfulness meditation for many years and teaches courses in Shojin Ryori, the vegan Japanese Zen temple cuisine.
