At the feet of the volcano, on the island of the wind, with its earthy colors and expansive ocean, we will gather to explore our connection to the elements within and around us.
As women, we are a reflection of the cosmos and are deeply connected to the Earth. Just like the Moon, we go through cycles of expansion and contraction and just like the Earth, we go through seasons within the month and within our life.
In this elemental retreat, you will be guided to remember your innate bond to Mother Nature. The yoga practices will invite you to explore the different qualities of the elements of Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether and recognize that you embody their qualities within yourself and can harness them when most needed.
Join As Within, So Without to remember your true nature.
At the feet of the volcano
This retreat will be hosted by the beautiful Casa Erbane, a beautiful villa hidden in a nature reserve in Lajares, a small town in the north of the island.
With its modern and minimalist style, the villa embodies the region's spirit and with colorful and sophisticated decor contrasted with raw and warm materials, nature is omnipresent in the house. Each space and bedroom has an incredible view of the volcano, and peace of mind can be felt in every corner.
The villa has six bedrooms, all with an ensuite bathroom and volcano view. You can choose between single occupancy (very limited availability), shared twin room, or triple room.
Yoga and salty skin
Two yoga practices will frame our days. After a slow silent morning wake up, we will be meeting in the beautiful yoga shala with its magical window overlooking the volcano (or outside by the pool) and move through a dynamic vinyasa practice.
After a delicious plant-based brunch and free time spent enjoying the pool, exploring the town, relaxing at the beach, swimming in the sea, surfing or going for a walk in nature, we will meet again for a calming evening practice (restorative, yin or Nidra). Our days will end with a nourishing vegan dinner and time for connection.
Veronica will offer a Womb’s Wisdom special practice midweek and integrate elements such as sound and essential oils in her offerings.
Ruth, La Cocinera Saludable, will be our chef for this retreat.
She prepares her dishes with so much love and the results speak for themselves. All meals (brunch and dinner) will be vegan with some vegetarian options and mostly gluten free and always prepared with fresh and high quality products.
Refreshments will also be available throughout the day and include tea, coffee, water and fruit.
Any dietary requirement can be catered for, just inform us beforehand!
