"Perfect Retreat"

The food was a major highlight for me - pure joy 3 times a day. Also Lessandra & Heather were fantastic hosts both brilliant yoga teachers & meditation guides. Setting was stunning. Was my first silent retreat and of the 10 / 11 people there only one had done a silent retreat before. So we were all in same boat & the ladies guided us brilliantly. They also were occasionally hilarious - which helps 😁. Can’t say enough good things about this retreat! It’s perfect if you are curious about taking meditation a bit more seriously and practicing more; & there’s some really good yoga sessions to boot. I found the schedules sensible- you do a good deal each day so you feel like you’re really getting the time but it’s not too much - you get nice bits of free time esp in afternoon to have a dip in pool or just wander around. I also thought it was really good value when you think of the all the sessions you get & all the meals & great location…

"Magical retreat - amazing teachers and group"

Fantastic teachers leading the way to our silent retreat. Great meditations, a variety of yoga sessions and workshops on chakras.

The location of the house was perfect: in the middle of a beautiful forest near Barcelona, silent, with loads of places to chill, comfortable beds, and amazing food.

"Best experience to recharge batteries"

A good friend and I, booked the retreat short notice, to get away from our busy jobs. With only some experience in meditation and hardly any in yoga, we weren’t sure what to expect. So we just let ourselves be surprised, quite frankly I was a little worried about the diet during the retreat. It turned out to be an amazing experience and a great journey to oneself. We had the possibility to not participate in the sessions of the schedule, but after being quiet for a while and focussing on oneself, we had no reason to skip sessions, rather the opposite happened and we went through all classes. Heather and Lezanne are the best guides, we were in the best hands, and had to worry about nothing, but just follow their guidance and eat their delicious meals (yes, the food was amazing). Additionally we had a week of warm autumn in a wonderful spacy house in the middle of a tranquil Spanish village. If you are up for the challenge of not talking and getting to know yourself, I could not think of a better setting than with Heather and Lezanne in Spain.

"A truly incredible experience "

This was exactly what I needed to return to myself and kickstart my meditation journey. Heather and Lezanne were great, really attentive and empathetic. The house and location were beautiful and comfortable, a great place to be at one with oneself and nature. I really enjoyed the silence and appreciated that it was enhanced by the fact that we couldn’t make eye contact or interact with anyone else on retreat - it sounds intense, but it was really conducive to staying with ones thoughts. The food was delicious. The activities(like breath work, silent walks, ecstatic dancing, meditation philosophy) were diverse and all really helpful for navigating this personal journey. I could have stayed for an additional week.

As a beginner, I personally could have benefitted from more guided meditation, but given that this is a silent retreat, that wasn’t involved. So just adding that in so you know what you’re getting, but again, it was exactly as described, and Heather and Lezanne did a great job
