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. Also, an intimate overnight experience in the mountains of Quirós. On the day of the eclipse, we’ll hike into the mountains, spend the night on the summit, and descend the following morning. We’ll be guided through breathwork and meditation, creating space to slow down, breathe deeply, reconnect with ourselves, and experience the eclipse from the stillness of the mountain (the supported path).
The summit has always been a place of threshold. Across cultures, mountains have been revered as places where the human and the infinite feel a little closer. Their peaks have long invited pilgrimage, contemplation, and transformation, places where perspective widens and the noise of everyday life falls away.
To witness an eclipse from a summit is to experience two great rhythms at once: the enduring stillness of the mountain and the celestial dance overhead. The mountain embodies stability. The eclipse reminds us to embrace change. Together, they offer a rare invitation to pause, reflect, and welcome transformation.

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.
