Details

Hello friends, I'd love you to join me for a deeply relaxing, nourishing & rejuvenating retreat. Set among orange groves just outside Oliva in the tranquil Valencian region of Spain, this retreat is an invitation to take a pause from the busyness of your daily life. You will be held with love & care as we slow down together, give our nervous systems space to reset & listen to the whisper of our hearts. When we gift ourselves space to rest & reconnect with our true essence, a natural healing unfolds in its own time. We emerge with renewed aliveness & zest for life. We will nurture mind, body & soul with nutritious food, prepared with love; gentle embodied movement; True Rest® meditation; conscious dance; breathwork; a therapeutic sound bath & enriching company. There will be plenty of free time to relax by the pool, explore the nearby beach, take a walk or connect with like-hearted friends. This retreat is a welcoming, non-judgemental space for all. No prior experience of yoga or meditation is necessary. Come just as you are & leave renewed.

Dear Amanda, I just wanted to say a big thank you for the retreat in Portugal. The classes and the way you guided them really suited me and enabled me to participate despite not being very able. Many Thanks, John

Hi Amanda, thank you for the retreat in Portugal and the calmness you instilled at a very difficult time in my life. It made me realise how important it is for me to attend to me and prioritise my needs.

Janice Urquhart, Scotland

Dear Amanda, it was such a joy to spend time with you in Portugal and I am looking forward to next May (signed up already!!). I had such a wonderful trip and will remember the special times on retreat and just how much you have given me (and taught me about myself) during our amazing meditation sessions. With much love, Lyn
