About this Retreat
Your Guides
Founder of SOUL IN TOUCH • Bodyworker • Guide in Conscious Touch & Movement
Marco’s work is rooted in presence. Through Thai Yoga Bodywork, Qi Gong, and intuitive touch, he guides others back to the body — back to a slower, more honest way of being.
With over 15 years of experience in holistic body practices, Marco created the SOUL IN TOUCH method to offer more than technique — it’s a path of remembrance: of trust, sensitivity, and the deep intelligence of human connection.
He holds space with quiet clarity, inviting each participant to reconnect with themselves through breath, touch, and movement. His teachings are not about performance — but about softening, listening, and coming home.
Marco lives with his family on a retreat finca in Tenerife, where he offers immersive trainings for those ready to slow down and explore the medicine of embodied presence.
Details of this retreat
# Back to the Roots: A Holistic Living Retreat in Tenerife
In a world that often feels fast-paced, demanding, and disconnected, many of us long for something simpler, more authentic, and more nourishing.
**Back to the Roots** is an invitation to slow down, reconnect with nature, calm the nervous system, and rediscover the essentials of a healthy and fulfilling life.
Hosted at **Casa el Riego**, a living eco-project in the peaceful countryside of Tenerife, this retreat offers a unique blend of holistic practices, sustainable living, community, and nature immersion. It is a space where personal well-being, meaningful human connection, and a conscious relationship with nature come together.
Throughout the week, participants will explore:
• Yoga
• Qi Gong
• SOUL IN TOUCH Bodywork
• Healthy Vegetarian Cooking
• Sustainable Living Practices
• Gardening & Connection with the Land
• Nature Walks & Outdoor Experiences
• Community & Meaningful Human Connection
Together, these experiences create a supportive environment for relaxation, self-discovery, personal growth, and inspiration. Our intention is not only to offer a meaningful retreat experience, but also to provide practical tools that participants can integrate into their daily lives long after the retreat has ended.
Whether it is a healthier way of eating, a simple Yoga or Qi Gong practice, a deeper connection with nature, or a more conscious approach to everyday living, participants are encouraged to take home sustainable habits and inspiration that continue to support their well-being.
Equally important is the sense of community that naturally emerges throughout the week. Sharing meals, practices, conversations, and meaningful experiences creates a space where genuine connections can develop. Many participants arrive as strangers and leave feeling like friends — and part of the extended Casa el Riego family.
The retreat is hosted by **Asociación AMAEL**, a non-profit organization dedicated to holistic well-being, sustainable living, education, and community development. Any surplus generated through our activities is reinvested into the development of Casa el Riego and the creation of a thriving ecosystem that supports our mission and values.
If you are looking for a retreat that combines personal growth, meaningful connection, sustainable living, practical inspiration, and time in nature, Back to the Roots offers a unique and enriching experience.
Return to the roots. Return to yourself.
