Details
Be guided by a teacher with 20 years of experience of teaching and leading groups. Beginning each day with a morning deep rest meditation session. Drop underneath the habitual; unravelling what’s no longer necessary, to discover deepening presence and ease. Followed by daily morning and afternoon yoga sessions of 2 hours, giving plenty of time for enquiry and deepening into posture together over the 6 days. Be guided over the week in a yoga practice to encourage a deepening awareness of body consciousness, discovering and nourishing pathways of connectivity of movement and embodiment. Inspired also by am exploration of what Vanda Scaravelli called the 'awakening of the spine'; a discovery of the relationship between the spine, the breath, gravity and the 'wave'. All nourished by daily periods of silence to support your landing into a deepening connection with your vital essence for the depth of your practice. All in the community of the group. Integral to your immersion will be hiking & silent group walking meditation for a strengthening of the connection between your inner landscape and the stunning island nature landscapes surrounding. Where sun, sea, land, and sky come together in perfect harmony on this preserved nature paradise island. One morning, we will take our practice to one of the islands' unspoilt, tranquil beaches for a sunrise morning practice. Beginning with a silent walking meditation through pristine forests to arrive at a beautiful, remote beach. In addition, one afternoon we will go to enjoy the exquisitely beautiful and untouched Southern Beaches. With the option to explore the island landscape/ coast nearby during your stay on foot or using one of the retreat centre bicycles. In between sessions, rest in the retreat estate gardens, by the pool, or in a hammock, soaking up the beautiful sunsets or starry night skies.
Venue
Pobla Corazon Retreat Centre
★ Reviews
Poblado Corazón is located in the rural countryside, just outside of the charming Ciutadella de Menorca. Here we are embraced by the rich ambiance of birds’ songs, treated with fruits from a variety of fruit trees, and spoiled with dramatic sunsets. We are living together with Perry, a Jack Russell Terrier, a community of island-bred hens, and rescue-loving cats – Harry, Tigra, and Ezequiel. Menorca holds the last natural paradises best preserved in the whole Mediterranean. The island is a unique corner of the natural environment due to the fact that the Menorcan inhabitants have learned to keep, from the beginning, a balance of harmony with its natural surroundings. Thanks to this good relationship with its natural environment, Menorca was declared a Reserve of the Biosphere in 1993 by the U.N.E.S.C.O. Our Island offers unique experiences. The many hiking routes available can take you to beautiful, isolated beaches, canyons, and caves with a forgotten history and cliffs with breathtaking views of the sunrise and sunset. In Spanish, Poblado means little village or settlement, while Corazon means heart. Set in a little remote village on the peaceful and stunning island of Menorca. A last natural paradise best preserved in the Mediterranean. At Pobla Corazon, be embraced by the natural bird song and the exquisite gardens where you will find many beautiful, quiet places to sit and rest in contemplation in nature. Also, rest and be refreshed by the beautiful pool with views. At Pobla Corazon, the views allow enjoyment of the incredible sunsets, or you can also simply be bathed under the stars at night. With beautiful indoor and outdoor areas to sit and eat together, and its own lounge kitchen just for retreat guests to enjoy. The yoga sala is a beautiful circular space of 70m2 in the heart of the gardens at Pobla Corazon.
