Each meal is complemented by warm herbal infusions. We also encourage everyone to enjoy lemon water and herbal infusions throughout the day.

in between meals if needed.
​
We invite you to eat mindfully, in harmony with your body's needs. By participating in our daily activities, you'll gradually discover a natural balance within your body. Our atmosphere and facilitators provide a natural support for anyone seeking to achieve a balanced lifestyle.
Animals:
​
Our space is shared with both dogs and cats, while donkeys roam in the grassy hill field of our backyard.
​
Free time:
​
You will have plenty of free time to simply be, or to engage in your own practices and rituals. We encourage reflective time and contemplation, journaling, arts, music. Inviting you to embrace the essence of your being and bringing in presence and mindful awareness in all of life's dynamic expressions.
You can also explore the area, by foot or bicycle.
​
This is not a requirement but a recommendation;
We invite you to put your phone and other screens aside. And we give you the opportunity to lock them away for the time of the retreat, if any necessary calls or work related tasks needs to be dealt with we encourage you to care for that before coming. We understand this is not always possible though, so you can engage with WIFI related moments in the privacy of your room,
Communication:
We promote communication that is mindful and present.
We encourage genuine expression and invite you to connect deeply with what truly needs to be said. We often engage in lighthearted conversations for various reasons, and can easily lose ourselves in the flow of words.
Many times, we speak out of ingrained habits shaped by the cultural, familial,
and social energy fields surrounding us.
This retreat offers a chance for you to strengthen your connection with all aspects of life, and mindful communication
plays a significant role in that journey.
​
We will have periods of noble silence, allowing you to explore how gracefully life can flow, and how communication can thrive even in the absence of words.
​
Creative Contribution:
​
We encourage you to bring your unique perspective and creative ideas. Whether you have a project to share or a new area to explore,
this is a space to deepen your connection to yourself and others.
​
This retreat is not just a break from routine:
​
it's an opportunity to transform your life and reconnect with
the essence of who you are. We look forward to welcoming you to our community and supporting you on this profound journey.
​​Let go of what no longer serves you, and
give space to EXPRESS FROM the pure essence of your Being.
​​
Open up to all parts of yourself, so your Life can start
unfolding from your innermost Truth.
​Experience Peace and Unity,
beyond all the Belief forms you have created,
in your inner and outer worlds,
