Details

This Shamanic Breathwork Retreat journey in the Spanish mountain area is a perfect way to spent the weekend purposeful and intentional with focus on yourself. With multiple breathing ceremonies, mountains around you and an ecologic environment it's easy to reconnect back with yourself. At Casa Rico Retreats they have seen many people transform their lives with these powerful breathing techniques and journeys. With every breathwork session, you will go on a deep inner journey. It's transcendental, which means that it goes beyond the mind. It's a tool that can guide you into emotions, the message of the soul and past/future experiences. You get to stay in a beautiful private eco-friendly accommodation surrounded by nature, animals, and mountain views. This retreat is all year round, every weekend. There is a change you are alone, or share the journey with others! This retreat journey is truly an opportunity to book something unique. The breathwork has transformational powers in it, and we provide it with a Shamanic edge. You will come to Raymond & Johanna Maria's land, where you will be part of the place for a few days. In this way, you will have your retreat and at the same time experience an alternative lifestyle. Also you will have the change to have your breathwork sessions in a magical and traditional yurt. Raymond & Johanna Maria will lead the sessions, and are both certified breathwork teachers. Unprocessed experiences and emotions lead to stagnation in your breathing and therefore, you can cut yourself off from the flow of life. With breathwork, you can start to release these blockages and emotions, so you can allow life to flow again. Ancient South American, Australian, Indian's and African shamans relied on breathwork as a tool for healing. Controlled breathing was used for its ability to heighten consciousness and access the spirit, leading to mental, emotional, and physical healing. But last century, we lost this simple, natural, and powerful way to access our deeper states. The intention of this retreat is to initiate you back into this old way of approaching holistic health. With different breathing journeys and rhythms, you are going to experience the power of the breath! It's a way to heal, to release emotions, to transform energies, and to enter altered states of consciousness where the Universe can speak to you. The retreat is not only about breathing and breathwork! You will be welcomed at a homestead in the mountains, which is surrounded by nature. Raymond and his wife have found an alternative lifestyle that brings them daily happiness and they want to share this with you. Just being there is already a unique experience in itself. With the singing of the birds around you, waking up from the rooster, living with the cycle of the sun, and seeing nature everywhere around you.

We are so much more then just a retreat-centre. Casa Rico Retreats is our home, where we live our unique and authentic way of life. With the years, our offering became an extension of our individual and family-life. The things that we have learn to love and are passionated about we have translated into our retreat-programs, activities and workshops. This makes the experience with us authentic, real and personal. Casa Rico is located in Finestrat, a mountain village in the province of Valencia. We are surrounded by mountains, and our place is fully off-grid. The guest-spaces are ecological and rustic, we have animals and love to be active with permaculture and self-sufficient projects! Beside the retreat program, workshops and sessions we provide, we love to integrate you in our magical world as well!

Casa Rico Retreats is the name of the accommodation where you will be welcomed! They have a magical guesthouse on their land with three private rooms! You will be welcomed in one of the rooms. The house is built in typical Spanish countryside style, and once you'll enter the place you will feel the history instantly. With rustic furniture, ancient smells, and old tools everywhere it's like you step back in time and timelessness falls over you. You can use all the shared spaces, like the living room, bathroom, terrace, garden, and kitchen. If you are alone, you have the whole house for yourself! If someone else has booked the same time as you, you'll share the house, yet still have your own private sleeping room. Outside, there is enough space to walk around, do yoga, sit, and meditate. You will find cute little sitting corners around the property, hammocks, and a pallet-sofa in front of the Finca to see the sunset. The house is heated with a wood stove, which creates cozy winter evenings. Because of its construction style, it's isolated and cool in the summer.

We noticed that everyone has such a unique eating rhythm and pattern, that we want to honor that in the retreat by creating a more flexible and self-serving vibe. You have the freedom to make your own food in our outside community kitchen. You can enjoy your lunch outside in the sun right in front of your yurt, by yourself or with your fellow retreat-mates. At any time, you can prepare yourself a herbal tea and grab some snacks. There is always fruit, veggies, and nuts and we will make sure that the foods that you love to eat are available. We as Casa Rico Retreats intent to prepare the main dinner of the day for you! It might even appear that we share a diner within the retreat with our family and the group. But as well, feel the freedom to cook for yourself if you like that. You have a big and well designed outside kitchen, barbeque and wood-fired oven!

Schedule

On the first day, you can arrive any time you want after midday. Your room and the finca will be ready for you! When we start our first session depends on our private life schedule, the seasons, and your arrival time. The program is very simple. In total, you'll receive 4 breathwork journeys. And around it, some shorter breathwork practices to influence your inner state, and you can take home. The sessions will be held on: Friday 19:00 (opening breathwork session as introduction, grounding, and starting the journey on a deep level) Saturday 12:00 (trauma breathwork to release stored trauma, tension, stress, and blockages) Saturday 17:00 (Shamanic Elemental Breath to go on a transcendental journey) Sunday 10:00 (an Integrating and Somatic Breathwork journey to let everything find its place in your body) The sessions and ceremonies will be held in nature around the property, the mountains, and our sacred space, the Yurt! The Yurt is a magical, spiritual, and safe space where you can completely immerse yourself in your journey. Around the sessions, you have plenty of time to enjoy nature, reflect, journal, read, go on a hike in the mountains, visit the town, or the beach! There is a lot to do and to experience on and off our plot!

Testimonials

info

Transforming and reconnecting 3 days. Coming to the breathwork retreat with Femke was a very spontaneous decision for me. From our first call on (still back home) I felt very welcomed and safe sharing my topics with Femke. During the retreat I really ennjoyed staying in the (luxury) tent, relaxing, playing with Aram, talking to the hosts and other visitors and interacting with the animals. I always felt comfortable taking time for myself and just relaxing too (like lying around in the hammock, going on a morning hike). Breathing with Femke was a very new, intense experience for me - leading to such a fast, deeply transforming process. She always took a lot of time for sharing before and after the breathwork and shared really important knowledge with me. Now 3 months later a lot of things have changed for me - I've felt so much power to take bigger steps in direction of my individual path and releasing old patterns and anxieties. I am looking forward to staying with Femke and the family again soon! :)

I was feeling overworked from city life and wanted a place to unwind, reconnect to myself, and experience nature in its truest form. I chose this retreat because it offered the opportunity to go off-grid while being immersed in nature. It was set in a beautiful and remote location and the guide and his family sounded very warm and inviting, and they were. After spending the 4 days off-grid with Raymond, I had the space to realize certain things about my life that I then went home and changed. I feel more confident in who I am and in my own healing and incredibly connected to myself and the world around me. As long as you try to say yes to everything they recommend for you, it will allow you to grow and experience the retreat exactly how you are meant to experience it. Raymond and Femke are very good listeners and creative curators of this experience, and it's incredibly tailored to each person and what they need out of it.

Amazing experience! Needed a break and wanted to try something new. I chose this retreat as I already had flights to Alicante and this was close by. Breathwork, meditation, wrestling, singing round a campfire; a world away from city life! Ray, Femke and Aram are beautiful people. I'm definitely going back to see them!
