Ayurveda and the Andalusian culture are the pillars of this retreat
As you explore the ancient practices of Ayurveda, you'll enhance your health and well-being by focusing on five principles of health – nutrition, movement, emotional well-being, meditation, and rest. In this retreat, not only will you learn about Ayurveda, but you'll also integrate its ancient teachings by creating your own Ayurvedic daily routine, or dinacharya. Thus, the benefits of your experience will extend beyond your time in the retreat.
Each principle of health will be woven into all daily practices. We'll gather in the mornings for breathwork, journaling, yoga asana, and meditation. During the day, you'll have the opportunity to get intimate with the land, dive deeper into your own personal practices, immerse yourself in the culture, or simply relax and enjoy the slower Andalusian way of life. After learning about the teachings of Ayurveda, we'll end each day with a relaxation practice such as Restorative Yoga or Yoga Nidra, we'll integrate, and we'll sit together in a sharing circle.
Along with all this, you'll experience the richness of the Andalusian culture! You'll get to immerse yourself in the culture and learn about its history, architecture, and cuisine. Elena is originally from Andalusia herself! You'll hike the local trails, you'll enjoy the local cuisine, and you'll have the opportunity to experience the local festivals. You'll have time to explore and choose your own adventure as well! Horseback riding, massage, and e-bike guided tours are available on site, at the beautiful Finca "El Moro".

Cultural Offerings
"REINA DE LOS ÁNGELES" PILGRIMAGE IN ALÁJAR
The "Reina de los Ángeles" pilgrimage is a centuries-old annual religious procession held in September. It culminates at the Hermitage of Our Lady Queen of the Angels, a sanctuary on the Peña de Arias Montano. Hundreds of devoted pilgrims travel on foot, on horseback, and in decorated wagons to the mountaintop. The procession includes the primary brotherhood, or "Hermandad Matriz", from Alájar, founded in 1528, as well as nine filial brotherhoods from surrounding towns. When the procession arrives at the hermitage, pilgrims gather to honor the Virgin. The day is filled with celebration and a sense of community.
IBERIAN CURED HAM GASTROTOUR AT "CINCO JOTAS" IN JABUGO
"Cinco Jotas" acorn-fed 100% Iberian ham is a decadent pleasure that many consider to be the most exclusive gourmet "jamón" in the world. The legendary "Cinco Jotas" brand began in 1879 in Jabugo, and has enjoyed international renown ever since. Declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO, Jabugo has been famous since the Middle Ages for the art of producing the most exclusive acorn-fed 100% "ibérico" gourmet ham in the world.
VISIT TO THE MOSQUE IN ALMONASTER LA REAL
The mosque of Almonaster la Real was built between the 9th and 10th centuries. It was built on the remains of a 6th-century Visigoth basilica, whose materials were reused in its construction. After the reconquest of al-Andalus by the Christian kingdoms, it was converted into a shrine. It is in the Roman, Almohad and Gothic styles, and was classified as a historic monument in 1931. As the only mosque in rural Spain that has come down to us mostly intact, this is a site of exceptional historic and artistic value.
VISIT TO THE “GRUTA DE LAS MARAVILLAS” GROTTO
The "Gruta de las Maravillas" is one of the most beautiful and best-preserved grottos in the world. It is a natural spring of infinite beauty carved over the centuries by Nature herself - from water and stone. This spectacular series of galleries, chambers, lakes and underground watercourses inside the "Cerro del Castillo" are formed on Palaeozoic limestone in an enduring and unique karstic system, which is a witness to bygone ages and climates.
Get to know the Andalusian culture through the eyes of the locals!
All cultural offerings are included in the retreat price. Only transportation is to be covered by participants.
"This retreat can only be described as perfect. The location on a remote finca in the sierra of southern Spain couldn’t have been more fitting for a retreat that was all about teaching us that we are all part of nature, and finding practices to get us more in touch with it. Elena’s profound love for the topic, as well as her passion for teaching showed in every segment."
