We are a small family run Holistic retreat center located in the south east of Spain, in the hills behind Javea and Denía, (the Costa Blanca) midway between Valencia and Alicante. It is on terraced land surrounded by cherry and almond trees with amazing views back to the sea some 20km away. Perfect for a retreat, a rest or walking in the hills.

We invite you to come and enjoy the peace and grandeur of the Spanish mountains and at the same time the Mediterranean climate. Rest, relax, retreat........

Mindfulness is a way of learning to relate directly to whatever is happening in your life, a way of taking charge of your life, a way of doing something for yourself that no one else can do for you — consciously and systematically working with your own stress, anxiety, pain, illness, and the challenges and demands of everyday life.

Mindfulness encourages us to stop, to focus, to tune in to our body, our senses and our inner lives and to sharpen and intensify our relationship to the world around us, offering us a constant source of joy and inspiration.

This retreat, in the spectacular Spanish mountains, will give you an opportunity to deepen your Mindfulness practice and explore your body with yoga. What interests me is how we can use the practice of yoga to really inhabit the body, practice awareness. Use the postures to experience how we react to stepping outside the box. So the yoga will come from that basis.

Guided Mindfulness meditations for stillness, focus, clarity and insight. Facilitated self reflection to help you engage with your creative self. Inspirational readings.
Nurturing time outdoors in Solterrenos orchards.

Take this opportunity to spend some uninterrupted time feeding your creative spirit with like-minded people in lovely surroundings. This will be a small, supportive group, with an experienced group facilitator and Mindfulness teacher. Come and join us, you deserve it!

We have on our doorstep two spectacular walks: one down in to "Hells Gorge" and the other up onto the "Green Horse Mountain"
