With daily Yoga, Meditation, nourishing food, rituals in nature, pilgrimages and plenty of rest this is an opportunity to nurture and reconnect to yourself, spend time with a like minded community and make memories to carry with you for a lifetime.

Our home for the week:

Only a short ride from the airport (FUE) Casa Lapaz is located in the quiet village of Tindaya, tucked away in the desert with views to the sea and the Sacred Mountain. The venue was designed by a lovely family who live on site with their three young children and farm animals.

With airy, green and cosy spaces this unique venue has all the comforts you need whilst remaining true to the essence of desert living with its raw elements and homely style.

The simplicity of the desert becomes the canvas for deep contemplation to find the Oasis within.

Feed your soul:

We believe in the alchemy of food and the profound impact it has on our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

As the direct intermediary between human and spirit, food carries the essence of the earth and the energy of those who grow, prepare, and consume it.

Therefore, we approach food with great care and intention, ensuring that it is nourishing, fresh, and primarily vegetarian and vegan. Thanks to the beautiful garden on site, our menu will also feature some farm-to-table produce.

Breakfast: Awaken your senses with our buffet featuring the freshest local produce, cereals, bread, and a range of plant-based options.

Midday treat: creative, colourful and bountiful treats that will entice your taste buds and arouse your energy.

Dinner: is a celebration of quality ingredients and culinary artistry, served with love and passion, colour and fire, crafted to nourish your body and soul.

Cristine

“I am writing this over a month after returning home and what's struck me most is how much the practices and intentions I learnt on the retreat have continued to stay with me and improve my "real" life.

This isn't just a chance to do yoga in a sunny, beautiful villa (although it is that!): it's also a chance to really look inward, take stock of life, and move forward with clarity and purpose. I now feel calmer, more present, and much more aligned with how to live in accordance with my values.

Robbie and Vanessa are both incredibly warm, caring and special people, and they effortlessly cultivated an atmosphere of trust, sharing and growth. I came away from the week with a much clearer sense of what brings me contentment and fulfillment, and that is priceless.”

Dani is just beautiful through and through.
She is so welcoming and inclusive to all and I always feel totally at ease in her presence. There is a real sense that her work is her passion and her truth. Every experience I’ve had with Dani is so authentic and heartfelt. I can’t commend her enough as a yoga teacher, menstrual mentor and guide and magical human being. Thank you Dani.
