STEP INTO YOUR POWER
nested by the mountains & guided by the elements

 

Nested by the Andalusian mountains, guided by the ever flowing clouds, carried by the untouchable air, held by the solid earth and experiencing the spaciousness and vastness of it all - we’ll be utilizing the power of raw nature to step into the power within. 

Guided by the five elements - Earth, Water, Air, Fire & Ether -  you’ll explore different aspects of yourself. The Elemental approach allows us to explore the wisdom of Nature while exploring our inner climate and restoring ourselves to natural balance. By harmonizing the 5 Elements and yin/yang energy within us, we can find a natural rhythm that aligns with Nature's cycles. We won’t be necessarily looking for anything, changing anything, but rather tapping into what's already within. Your individual power is always there - lying in the understanding of one’s true authentic self and in the interplay of strength and softness at the same time. 

You can therefore expect heated practices, exploration of physical and mental edges, but the power of gentleness too. This retreat is not for complete beginners as we expect you to have a bit of experience with vinyasa or the physical practice of yoga. We’ll be mostly practicing yoga movements, meditation, breathwork and sound baths in a spacious Spanish valley, but you can  look forward to loads of new pathways and practices too. Our workshops and ceremonies will help you to let go of what is no longer needed to create space where you can blossom into your fullest, deepest and wi(l)dest potential. 

Importantly, this is a special event that we’re curating for an intimate setting of 10 people only

Let’s relax and retreat into ourselves whilst uncovering that strength within, shall we?

ABOUT THE MILL SPACE


The Mill Space is an intimate venue based in a unique watermill located in the spectacular UNESCO registered Cabo de Gata National Park, Almeria, Spain. 

A visit to the mill is like stepping back in time. Walking up the palm fringed cobbled driveway gives you the feel of a bygone era. The Mill feels homely and hobbit-like with quirky al fresco dining areas, outstanding views, a stylish swimming pool and the occasional bray of a donkey. 

The ancient 500 year old watermill has been lovingly restored in keeping with its original Moorish design. The extraordinary building is complemented with rounded walls and wooden beams, traditional cane ceilings, a cave room, studded doors and intricate mosaics based on those found in the Alhambra region of Spain. The mill has been tastefully renovated, using many ecological materials. It features antique windows, doors and an original grain hopper. 

A wonderful feature of the Mill Space is the circle. Back in the days the circle was the place where the milling process took place, but now it is now being used as a reinvented sacred space, where we’re going to enjoy our practices - moving with the elements, flowing with nature, uncovering the internal wisdom. The circle holds a special energy that is unlike anything else.
