About this Retreat
Your Guides
After two decades traveling the world and teaching meditation, herbalism, and the traditional arts of Ayurveda, yoga, energy medicine, etc, I settled into these mountains to restore a house forgotten by time. This "monk-witch" life is my reality: a solitary rhythm of prayer with the land, the slow process of restoration, and art as my expression.
Before moving to Northern Spain, I founded a safe space called "The Tree." But after years of service, I felt the calling to release the titles, the organization, and the image. I chose instead a life reclaimed from modern noise, tending the soil and making natural medicines.
My way of being is non-traditional and colorful, rooted in the simplicity. I am not here to be your teacher. I am here as a fellow human, living with the seasons and sharing a moment of time with you. If you wish to share in this pace, you are welcome.
Details of this retreat
On August 12, 2026, the first total solar eclipse in over a century will pass directly over these mountains. This 6-day retreat is a rare invitation to witness this celestial alignment from a private, off-grid sanctuary, far from the crowds and digital noise. You are the only guest in residence, ensuring absolute discretion and a direct, uninterrupted connection to the land and sky.
Choose Your Path: Supported or Private
Because this event is a deeply personal experience, I offer two ways to inhabit the sanctuary during your stay:
The Supported Journey: This is a curated, hands-on experience. We use my 20 years of expertise in energy work, botanical medicine, and somatic movement to prepare your system for the intensity of the eclipse. Includes garden-to-table meals daily, guided mountain walks, and specific rituals to ground the celestial energy.
The Private Hermitage (Unsupported): For those who seek total solitude. You have full use of the house, the gardens, and the "living" apothecary to run your own process. I hold the quiet of the house and manage the basics, but I step back, leaving you in total autonomy to witness the eclipse in your own silence.
The Sanctuary & The Shadow
The house sits in a high-altitude "dead zone" with no phone signal and no electrical noise, making it a biological safe-haven for this event.
Solar Grounding: We use mountain spring water and organic harvests from the garden to keep your body nourished and clear.
The Apothecary: Access to handmade herbal infusions and "The Grounding Kit" (Presence Mist and Heart-Opening Cacao) to support you during the hours of totality.
Presence of the Land: Spend your days with the animals, in the library, or on the trails, building the internal stillness required to meet a moment where the sun briefly disappears

Schedule
The Daily Flow: A Custom Path
There is no fixed program here. Your time is a living experiment in listening to your own rhythm. The structure of each day is personal, shifting based on the retreat you’ve chosen and the depth of support you seek. We move along a spectrum of two primary containers:
The Supported Path
This is an active collaboration for those seeking deeper guidance. Depending on your needs, our day may include:
* Intuitive Presence: Shared silence or check-ins to navigate what is arising.
* Mountain Connection: Guided walks, excursions, or adventures through the local landscape.
* Earth Medicine: Time in the apothecary learning to make natural medicines.
* Ritual: Ceremonies or sessions designed for deep release and reset.
The Self-Guided Path
For those in need of total solitude, I hold the energetic space of the house while granting you full autonomy.
* Total Freedom: The day is yours to inhabit the library, the trails, or the gardens at your own pace.
* Zero Pressure: There is no set routine or expectation to engage.
* Safe Solitude: I am present and available if need be, but the space is primarily yours to explore your own internal rhythm.

The house is surrounded by a wild landscape of mountains, forests, medicinal plants, and streams. There are 6–8 trails accessible directly from the doorstep that lead up and around the mountain, offering various lengths and difficulty levels. Asturias is "Green Spain"—a territory of water, stone, and myth where the veil between worlds feels thin. Unlike the arid plains of the south, this region is steeped in Celtic and Druidic heritage.
