Radical Honesty 8-Day Intensive Retreat in beautiful La Palma, Canary Islands: Transform Your Life by Telling the Truth and Living Out Loud Authentic Connection The key to intimacy is honesty. Learn the core honesty skills as a way to transform yourself and your relationships. Transformational Communication Clear and direct communication is a game-changer. Learn the tools to resolve conflict both within yourself and with others. Self-expression & Self-compassion Discover what wants to be expressed moment-to-moment while cultivating the tools for self-compassion. A Supportive Environment There are so few places where you can be your FULL self. Use this supportive environment to discover who you really are in the moment and emerge a changed person.​​​​​​​ The Immersive Experience There’s nothing like the full-time, communal experience of a Radical Honesty immersive workshop. To really see yourself anew, notice how you’ve held yourself back, and relearn how to connect authentically with others, you need time, community, and great facilitators. Throughout your 9 days at the workshop, Tuulia and Pete will lead the group through a series of learnings in Radical Honesty, including honesty skills training, lectures, paired and group exercises, hot seat work, meditation and movement, naked work, and life stories. At a beautiful secluded hillside villa on the lush island of La Palma overlooking the Atlantic Ocean you can: Enjoy the sunshine and warmth of the Canary Islands. Connect in a deep way with others. Talk about the things that are shameful or embarrassing or difficult for you to talk about. Experience compassion. Learn to express whatever arises in you in the moment: excitement, fear, anger, attraction, appreciation, embarrassment, happiness. Experience the sensations in your body as they arise. Learn and practice being present in the here and now. Share with others – laugh out loud, cry and yell, smile and dance.

Location

Tijarafe, Spain

Tijarafe is a peaceful rural municipality on the rugged west coast of La Palma in Spain’s Canary Islands, known for its dramatic volcanic landscapes, terraced hillsides, and sweeping Atlantic Ocean views. Perched above deep ravines and cliffs, the area is dotted with traditional Canarian houses, small farms, and pine forests, offering a strong sense of nature, space, and tranquility. Life in Tijarafe moves at a slower, grounded pace, shaped by agriculture, local culture, and stunning sunsets, while still being within reach of coastal villages and the island’s network of hiking trails, black-sand beaches, and volcanic scenery.

Schedule

We will begin each day with about 20 minutes of conscious movement and 20 minutes of meditation, followed by breakfast and a morning session of teaching, group conversations and paired exercises. We will then have a healthy lunch and an afternoon siesta. After the break, we will continue working with “hot seat” work, teaching, meditation, movement or dancing, and more paired and small group exercises. At around 19:00, we’ll eat dinner. After dinner, one by one, each person will spend about 45 minutes telling the whole story of his or her life. By the time the workshop has ended, each participant will have told their own life story and will have heard the telling of everyone else’s. Each person will also receive a copy of the video recording of them telling their story. They can later watch their video with their parents, (ex-)spouses, siblings, lovers and friends with whom they have unfinished business in life and use the video-watching as a way to start honest conversations.

Testimonials

info

“I attended two intensive 8-day retreats with Tuulia & Pete. Both have been very powerful experiences that changed my life profoundly. I cried, laughed, shook, danced, shouted, cuddled, whispered, sang. I told the story of my life and was naked with people I had met only a few days before. And I survived. And I fell in love with these strangers. And I fell in love with myself. Today, I breathe and live more freely. Thank you.”

Chelsea, Austria

“After having already done a few Radical Honesty workshops, the 8-day intensive went much deeper and showed me even more than before what stories I tell myself to make myself unhappy. By being in this environment for a longer amount of time and with the closeness created in the group, I took a big step in knowing who I really am and daring to show myself.”

Arjen, Netherlands

“I judge this workshop to be one of the best things I’ve done so far in the area of life improvement (and I’ve done some). I feel tempted to say ‘life changing’ as I now navigate through the world with a sense of freedom & expansion unknown to me before. I felt very safe & seen during the entire, very intense time. I judge Tuulia & Pete to be highly competent coaches and inspiringly authentic.”

Silke, Germany

“The 8-day Intensive was a well-worth investment of time and money to work on myself. Glad I did spend both, and was able to participate in the retreat. I’m amazed by how much of a difference 8 days can make in a life.”

Remo, Switzerland

“After the 8-day Intensive retreat I felt so Alive. Happy with capital H, Feminine with capital F. It truly feels like an Awakening and dancing and singing to my playlist at the train station and airport, floating on the sensations.”

FAQs

Guest requirements

  • On our workshops, we get together to make some agreements about what we will do together for the next nine days. One of the most important agreements is that we will tell the truth to each other completely for the next nine days. If that was all that occurred, and there were no other agenda whatsoever, the course would be powerful because the power of that agreement alone is incredible. You will need to agree to the workshop’s commitments: to keep confidentiality, to tell the truth, to support others in telling the truth, to be on time and present, to allow the trainers to coach you and to ask for what you want. We also recommend you read Brad Blanton’s books Radical Honesty and/or Practicing Radical Honesty before the workshop. Commitment Everyone at the workshop will be expected to commit to participate in every session, including the naked work, body movement, meditation and telling of life stories. If you have any concerns with any of the program, we are happy to discuss those concerns with you.

The remaining balance for the retreat is due 90 days prior to the start date. If this balance is paid earlier than these 90 days, you are eligible to cancel and receive a full refund of this remaining balance, provided you do so at least 90 days before the retreat begins.
