EMILY-CLARE HILL
-WOMEN'S RETREAT SPAIN
OCT 26th - 30th 2023
-SELF RESTORE & RECONNECT
WHAT TO EXPECT
Each day will begin with a morning guided meditation, followed by breathing work before a flow asana practice creatively and intelligently sequenced.
Throughout the week we'll work through varying asana practices and requests are very welcomed. I make things accessible to all so levels of practice might vary meaning I’ll offer many options to make you feel comfortable and supported.
The idea of making the retreat women’s only I believe will create a save and secure environment for girls to be girls. To lean into one another in our true nature to listen and hear each other to feel safe and supported by the group.
I’ll be offering a women’s circle during our retreat, an opportunity to connect more deeply with the divine feminine and in turn yourself and true nature.
Each afternoon we’ll connect for discussion, circles, this may sometimes occur late morning rather than early afternoon we feel each day out as they arrive, fully in the moment. But don’t worry I’ll be giving you an easy schedule to follow each morning at breakfast so you don’t have ti worry about timings and plans.
One evening we will have a yoga nidra (guide relaxation) and sound healing session.
Each evening or late afternoon practice (pre dinner) will be a slower offering something more nurturing grounded.
WHERE. . . .
SPAIN, ALMERIA
Join me in this tranquil palm fronded oasis set in 30 acres of citrus and olive groves amidst the dramatic, semi desert countryside with imposing mountains and dazzling sea. This is the perfect spot to support peace, relaxation and practice – and personally one of my favourite retreat places ever! Finca del Alamo is on the edge of the Cabo de Gato National Park and Almeria airport is only 30mins away.
ACCOMODATION
The venue sits in the semi-desert landscape amid lush gardens, its architecture echoing ancient Mediterranean civilizations.
It consists of the main house the ‘Finca’, which won awards in the 80s for its striking modernist design, and a group of converted traditional buildings, the cortijos. The cortijos are just a couple of minutes walk from the main house and next to the yoga studio.
There are shared social and quiet spaces and two eco-pools, one at the house and one with the cortijos.
FOOD & DRINKS
All meals are a delicious vegan spread served up buffet style, with lots of choice. The retreat space use lots of fresh local produce. Our breakfast is self serve fruits if you want a little something before practice. Post practice will be a substantial brunch. An afternoon snack and dinner every day.
Except one day off where will head into town for a meal together.
Alcohol won’t be served with the meals, but we can add some as group or you can order things individually.
WHAT WILL I NEED
Not much, just what ever you like to move in, your day wear, there's pool of course but it's really about letting go of what you need and just letting yourself be, so if you wear the same yoga gear every day then great!
