embracing presence
26th may - 1st June 2025
‘Yoga tells us that the primary experience is our very nature - an open and loving presence. When we’re in this primary experience we have an unqualified intimacy with life.’ ~ Donna Farhi ~
It is with so much love and joy that I present to you the Embracing Presence retreat.
A nourishing 6 night yoga retreat, just 45 minutes from the centre of vibrant Barcelona.
Our private retreat home, La Finca, is bathed in sunlight and completely surrounded by a sea of green trees and a peaceful silence.
This retreat invites you to embrace the magic that exists within each present moment. Without distraction, the normal routines and general life responsibilities, there is potential to meet ourselves as we are, and savour the sweetness of just being. When we really gift ourself the space to slow down, transformation occurs.
PRICES STARTING FROM £880
We arrive on Monday the 26th May, to a New Moon - the most powerful time in the lunar cycle to reflect and set intentions. As the week unfolds, we will weave our intentions through physical practice, meditation, deep rest and community.
Seasonally, this time of year - moving from spring into summer - is all about planting our seeds of intention, getting clear on our dreams, and watching our visions bloom into reality.
Our retreat home provides 200,000 square metres of space to unwind and relax.
We have 10 beautiful bedrooms (options for private or sharing), a dedicated yoga space with room for 24 people, as well as a rooftop practice space with unobstructed views over the Barcelona countryside.
There’s a private pool surrounded by greenery, a sauna and steam room, and so many peaceful nooks to cosy up with a book.

ROOMS, PRICING AND BOOKING!
Important information:
Similar to many retreats, the majority of the rooms are offered as sharing rooms. It’s a beautiful way to connect with lovely, like-minded people. People often come alone, and leave with friends for life! If you come alone, but want to share a room, I will team you up with someone!
A non-refundable deposit of half the total amount (50%) is due to book and secure your spot, and the second half is due by the 26th April 2025.
