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!

You will receive a private room for yourself in a rustic and authentic farmhouse on our property. This farmhouse is builded 60 years ago in typical Spanish style. With recycled and secondhand materials, it's aligned with the rustic vibes of the house and property. You have access to the living room, where there is a table with chairs, a couch, and a kitchenette to make tea or cook an egg. Outside, there is enough space to walk around, do yoga, sit, and meditate. You will have a choice of cute little sitting corners around the property, hammocks, and a pallet-sofa in front of the Finca to see the sunset. Outside there is also a big kitchen with all supplies you need to eat your daily breakfast, snacks and prepare what you want. The Finca is heated with a wood stove, which creates cozy winter evenings. Because of its construction style, it's cool in the summer. For the rest it has a toilet. The shower is outside on the property what creates a refreshing, raw and natural atmosphere around taking a shower. This is something what most people love while being here. The sessions and workshops will be facilitated in the Yurt what will be used as ceremonial space and the nature around the property.

Meals provided

Breakfast · Lunch · Dinner

Diets catered

Vegan · Vegetarian · Gluten-free · Nut Allergy Friendly · Dairy-free

All food is provided by Casa Rico. Raymond will go to the local market and supermarket to provide the ingredients. The meals are prepared by yourself or together! In the daytime, 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. And with dinner at night, we share it as a group. So you have the space and freedom to make the dishes you like, when you like them and as you like them. And dinner at night we share as a community, where we all contribute a part. Think of a homemade soup and eggs from the land made by the hosts, and the guests make a salad. Or Raymond loves to provide a barbecue where guests can help prepare the fire and cut the veggies. Every dinner is unique; one time it’s all about fun and laughter, and the other time it’s about deep conversations and insights. 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.

Schedule

The intention of the program is to bring you through nature, self-awareness practices, Shamanic ceremonies, and breathwork to the place where you want to be. The practices and sessions are the portal and tools to guide you into the depths of yourself. Your truth, your purpose, your soul, your healing. By alternating between letting go of the old and releasing, and embracing the new and embodying, we make sure all the work and tools are available to do this. With the next editions, we are going to focus on the program about letting go of the old year, the previous year, and stepping into the energetic field and intention field for the next year to come. On the day of arrival, you can take your time to land, ground, and integrate into the place and space before we start the opening ceremony when everyone is in. Preferably, this will be at 16:00; if not, a bit later. The opening is to get to know each other, get to know yourself, get to know your intention, and step into the sacredness of the journey. After this dinner will be waiting for you, and a free evening where you can walk under the night sky, write, read, sit by the fire, or go to bed early. From the next morning on, you can wake up every day at the time you prefer. There is no early schedule. We will start around 11:00 with the first session and ceremony. And in the afternoon, there will be a session, workshop, or ceremony held as well. This is the basic and main structure of everyday, with here and there some variability and surprises around!

Testimonials

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!
