Soul Medicine Kundalini Yoga Retreat
Location: Ibiza
Mood: Nurturing, soul healing Kundalini retreat in the mountains
Dates: 2nd – 6th June
We heal the soul though connecting to nature, we heal the soul by being, by allowing, by feeling we heal the soul by listening to that still voice of the soul within and developing that dialogue.
The experience here is to really re-connect, to plug back in, to allow in the space to nourish, the time to replenish, the energy to open, the vibration to heal and the frequency to elevate
We go deep into exploring our connection to our purpose, our intuition, our feeling and have an opportunity to listen to our soul and our soul’s calling and tune into what we really have come here to express, to make manifest, to experience, to vibrate. We reside at our beautiful Xuclar Beach House, an elegant beach house set high up in the mountain surrounded by forest and opposite the beach.
This is true Ibiza style at it finest, an authentic Ibizan experience, with incredible sunsets and secluded spots for watching the sun go down. Each room is named after one of the glorious local beaches along this precious northern coast of the island and each room has stunning views either out to sea or of the mountains. Info and booking.
