DEEP NATURE LOCATIONS
The land we journey on is an important contribution to this work and since our previous retreat home of eight years that was Stephanie’s grandfather’s space was passed onto new owners in 2023, the transition to new grounds and walls that will hold us through these journeys comes with much careful consideration.
The call to be immersed even deeper in nature, off-grid, far removed from the noise of the outside world, felt non-negotiable. In 2024 you can find us at a very special venue – Wakana, located on 18 hectares of protected land, situated by a stunning lake and surrounded by an abundance of wildlife and ancient caves, in Cadiz, Southern Spain.
Accommodation
We will be accommodated in a traditional Spanish Cortico [farmhouse] in clean, cosy and comfortable shared rooms and bathrooms. The property also has large yurts with ensuite bathrooms as well as tipis, onsite, if you are interested in one of these at an extra cost please inquire via email.
NOURISH
Much of the food will be sourced locally or directly from the land – catering vegetarian. Specific dietary requirements can be attended to with advance notice.

No.

Rachel
In a nutshell, for the whole of 2015 I was battling with ‘IBS’ and a massive lack of energy, which after a while I accepted had nothing to do with food or a medical problem, but I had no idea how to deal with it. Despite being gluten, dairy, sugar free, vegan, keeping fit, thinking I was sleeping enough (I wasn’t), thinking I was rested enough (I wasn’t), thinking I was calm enough (I wasn’t), thinking I was listening to my intuition (I wasn’t) I just couldn’t get to the root cause to heal my diva insides. Three weeks back from The Medicine Process and I’m near enough, mostly, pretty much symptom free. So I can only put this down to finally finding a way to shift the stuck energy that was causing the issues, letting go of things, breaking down blocks, realigning my wonky chakras and finally learning how to physically and mentally chill the eff out and BREATHE.
