Note from the host
We hope you are keeping well! …truly well! We urge you to keep positive in these challenging times. We are practicing the tools we have learned over our recent retreats here, doing lots of yoga, breathing, meditation, mindfulness, living in the moment and appreciating the things we often don’t have time for.
So, we won't stop working behind the scenes organizing for when the world comes to rights and you can travel freely again, and we can safely re-open our doors to give you a whole-hearted welcome.
We believe it's important to keep dreaming of the sunnier times ahead… so keep an eye-out on up-coming retreats especially designed with your safety and health in mind! We are organizing beautiful content and ongoing Communal Living Retreats to give 'Happy Vibes' to inspire you for the future and your summer here away from the crowds, nestled within the Marbella Hills!
For now, spend precious time with your family and loved ones, appreciate the little things in life, be grateful for your health, and enjoy every day as a gift!
