Ibiza, Spain
for who ?
This retreat is for everybody who feels ready for transformation. For those adventurers that choose to live more attentive and feel deeper in the moment: that love yoga but don't have to be a pro, that love to dive into nature to connect with silence and beauty. For those who want to experience the nurturing Ibiza sun, sea and purity and are open for authentic sharing in circle.
Green hidden-away valleys welcome us on our hike. The scent of fresh figs, flowers and oranges spreads a dark musky aroma, as we aproach the eternal source: a unique sanctuary with age old canals giving water and life to the valleys below. Our attention has dropped once again, we are ready for meditation after this magic silent exploration of pure Ibicencan undiscovered countryside. Sit still, breathe the air, breathe this new life into your lungs and fill yourself with gratitude for so much beauty and love.
After the walk out of your mind retreat you :
- Have transformed parts of your stuck patterns, core unworthiness and blind spots into more awareness and more joy, through authentic sharing in circle
- Feel more inspired, more alive and confident to master those parts in your life where you held back, lacked confidence & vision. You walk away with tools to take leadership in those fields like relationships and work
- Feel more embodied
- Had a magical recharging time with nurturing sun, sea, healthy food & silence: a cleansing of body and mind and a break from daily patterns that cause you stress and worry.
- Allow more and more space for a process of growth, insight and self acceptance
- Experience a natural movement from feeling isolated and contracted towards expansion and a longer lasting openness of the heart and feeling deeper in the moment
- Made wonderful connections with like minded friends in a pure and magical place, sharing laughter and tears, relaxation and healing time, transformation and openness
Powerspot: Es Vedra
On the beautiful island of Ibiza, nestled in the Mediterranean, right in front of the magical rock of ES VEDRA- a transformational powerspot, we will have intention work, hikes and sunset bliss yoga sessions. The Rock Es Vedra is this omnipresent majestic radiating source of high vibration that you can have your own dialogue with. A true master. A place of purity, beauty as well as intensity and presence. This is where the sky meets the earth, a gateway to another world. We will use this space 2 sunsets for its intensifying and purifying quality. Enjoy the endless sunset, the yoga on the roof, or chill lazily in the hammock on the veranda. Feel invited to become one with the universe, one with yourself.
this retreat is for
- people that are open for authentic sharing in circle, that are willing to explore their vulnerability
- people that are willing to let go of old habit patterns, old conditioning, people that won't run away when they hear words like: sharing, transformation, energy or resistance

- People that rather stay the same all the time
- people that are stuck in victimhood: everything around you can be blamed for the problems that are piling up: life just generally sucks and that won't change
- People that hate adventure
- people that doubt wether they can hike more than 30 minutes without getting bored or tired

- Your hosts Lucien & Kasia want nothing more than for you to feel at home in a warm, safe and nurturing space
- You sleep in the monastery built by father Palau. He lived on Es Vedra for 5 years from 1856-1861, and after that experience, he founded the monastery with the aid of the Carmelite order and locals. The Nuns still live and pray in the monastery and welcome you with open arms.
- You will be served the best healthy food that is not only made with tons of love but also with local ingredients.
- Enjoy hikes that bring you to places that the best guides of Ibiza can't find, to get you in touch with the authentic soul of the island in its purest form
- That also offers a container to slowly disentangle some of your 'stubborn' mind conditioning and invite you to gently but literally step out of your comfort zone
- Silent time in meditation and during the hikes creates space to connect with what's moving inside of you
- Take practical tools home with you to integrate your expanded self into your daily life
- Before and after the Es Vedra rooftopyoga session: cars and people pile up just before sunset time on the sunset platform further away...you, however, will be hanging out in the hammock, on the roof or on one of the many intimate corners of the balcony to merge with the sun beyond the horizon of your mind into bliss and peace.

more joy and aliveness
By coming on this retreat, you give yourself the birthright of self- exploration, love and attention in a nurturing and safe space with inspiring people. By accepting who you are, as you are, without making yourself wrong, you will expand your capacity for joy.
Through the authentic sharing in circle, you will feel more alive and connected to your heart. Through yoga and breathwork you will release tension, worries and stress from your body, creating more space inside, to embody who you want to show up as in life.
And through hikefulness you get the chance to connect with the beauty of nature and the stillness inside of you to integrate it all, bringing more clarity into your life.
We further provide tools for a longer lasting process by offering coaching and/or breathwork sessions after the retreat, or advanced hikefulness sessions with discount when you come back to Ibiza. Our intention is for you to not only have a magical experience here but to integrate this energy and expanded awareness in your daily life at home and to share it with your loved ones.

Over the last 12 years I’ve worked in 5 different countries helping hundreds of people release physical and emotional tension in their bodies, allowing themselves to express their authentic self and step into a sovereign and purposeful life. My passion is empowerment through embodiment. I believe that only if we embrace and honor our whole being, the mind/body connection, can we truly reclaim our human potential of love, happiness and harmony.
What I do know for certain: We are creatures designed for happiness and well being. We are energy beings with the potential to create and heal.. We are powerful. We are wise. And we are here to awaken to our true purpose- stepping into a life of alignmet with nature and soul.

Thank you so much for such inspiring time. We had a very good week with hikes & yoga at stunning locations. My purpose was to find relaxation through being active. And then i was pleased to find so much more along the way, including spontaneous mindful exercises to increase attention to being in the moment
