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.

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.

The retreat is structured in such a way that we walk a path of grief that leads to various places of power on the island. At the individual stations, we enter into our grief, process our feelings, catch up on words that have not been said and say goodbye. We celebrate the farewell in an intensive ritual at the turning point of the path. We then set off on the way back. We see the previous stages from a different perspective, can leave our grief behind us and turn our attention to healing.

This process is accompanied by intensive self-awareness sessions and healing circles and conversations. Individual therapy sessions can also be arranged separately if required.

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 do not 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.
