ARRIVE, RELAX, RECHARGE YOUR BATTERIES -
This is the place where you will find ideal conditions and pleasant temperatures all year round for your time out. Be completely there, be yourself, from the very first moment. The all-inclusive retreat includes accommodation, meditation, Feldenkrais, all meals and several mindfulness island excursions, during which you will experience the breathtaking nature of La Palma. The seminar house "Casa Las Enanas" is a historic Canarian town house and is located in the immediate vicinity of the well-kept beach.
THE MINDFULNESS PROGRAM
begins with zazen and qi gong, the morning meditations that lead the mind and body into a state of calm and mindfulness. After breakfast, you can then take part in a relaxing Feldenkrais lesson. These lessons will help you find your inner balance and rhythm and focus your attention on the present moment. A special focus in this seminar is on the effect of breathing as well as clear seeing and walking.
OUR ISLAND ADVENTURES
take you into the beautiful nature of the green volcanic island, which has been declared a biosphere reserve in its entirety. The adventures that await you include a hike through a laurel forest, the four springs hike and the descent from the Ermita de las Nieves. Weather permitting, we will take a night walk to observe the stars.
