ESSENCE OF EARTH

Spain Retreat

4th - 7th September 2026

4 days / 3 nights

Just £175 deposit to secure your space. Rooms start from £595.

Come as you are, and leave feeling whole.

As the final days of summer drift toward the Autumn Equinox, let’s gather together for a special retreat in the mountains of Southern Spain to nurture our own inner essence, and tune into the

essence of earth.

Imagine a long weekend with zero obligations - just wild swimming, sunshine, nature, and practices that help you come back into you.

Nestled between the quiet of the nature reserve and the energetically charged mountains of milky quartz and iron ore, it’s the perfect environment to settle your nervous system and reconnect with your centre.

If your heart is calling for more stillness or your body is craving more joy, we’d love to have you!

Let’s celebrate the end of the season together with clarity, presence, and gratitude.

What’s included:

Accommodation in a private retreat centre, just for our group! It’s located within a nature reserve, and is based in a 500yr old watermill that’s been lovingly restored with sustainability at the heart & its original Moorish design.

Surrounded by mountains rich in milky quartz, promoting emotional balance & spiritual growth, and iron ore enhancing grounding & protection. The perfect setting to recharge your energy.

Daily yoga, meditation & breathwork classes, set in two beautiful spaces: The Circle & The Shala.

Explore the local beach, connect with the water, the sun, the sand.

Group walk within the mountains to bring our meditation off the mat and connect with the land.

Cacao Circle under the stars! Attuning us with our hearts and inner-guidance.

Creative corner - bring your own craft projects or use our art materials to tap into your creative side.

Relax by the pool or wild swim in ‘The Balsa’ (a huge water holding) fed with pure water from an ancient natural underground spring.

Wholesome, plant-based meals with seasonal ingredients, to nourish the body, indulge the senses & keep your energy vibrant. Catered by OmniSol.

A special gift from Sara - Access to guided nature meditations (created specifically for this retreat) to do as solo practice within and around the nature reserve, in your spare time.

A special gift from OmniSol (Jamie) - A little surprise he’s created for you to take away and use at home ;)

A warm community of like-minded people; 8-9 participants only, for a more intentional experience.

“This retreat was a deeply healing and transformative experience. Sara holds space with rare authenticity in a way that feels sacred and safe, allowing the heart to open and the spirit to soften. Jamie’s plant-based meals were prepared with such love and intention that each one felt like nourishment for both body and soul. Together they created a sanctuary of light, mindfulness, and gentle medicine. I left feeling renewed, grateful, and profoundly connected to nature, myself, and the beautiful community that formed so effortlessly within the retreat.”

PAYMENT OPTIONS & POLICIES: You can pay in full or split your payment into installments for financial flexibility. A £175 non-refundable deposit is required to secure your space. You can cancel up to 90 days before the retreat for a full refund (excluding the deposit) or up to 60 days before the retreat for a 50% refund (excluding the deposit). Unfortunately, refunds are not possible from 7th July onward, as this date marks 59 days until the retreat starts.

What’s not included: Flights, and travel from & to the airport (but I can help you with organising to share a taxi with other participants nearer the time). Extras: There’s a snack shop & gift shop onsite, there will be the option to have a massage at the venue (booking in advance is required). *Our previous retreat guests highly recommend the masseuse!

Nearest airports:

Almeria = 50 minutes drive

Alicante = 2.5hr drive - Recommended because it has the most options for morning flights (from London) on the Friday - most guests will be coming from here and opting to share transfers to and from the airport. Once everyone has sent me their flights I can help organise a cab/ mini bus to pick everyone up from here to the venue on the Friday, and back on the Monday after check-out.

CLICK HERE for some flight examples from London to Alicante, arriving on 4th and leaving on 7th Sept.

THIS RETREAT IS LIMITED TO 8-9 PARTICIPANTS.

Please note that there are a few rescue animals around the venue as the owners foster dogs and cats from the local shelter (but they will not bother you and can be away from the venue if this is an issue for you - please let me know). If we’re lucky, we may see a wild chameleon or two!

“My experience on Sara's retreat was so special. From prior to the retreat starting, to the very end, Sara was informative about our experience, caring about our needs, intentional about the practices she provided us, and caring for all of our wants. She shared space with us and led beautiful conversations. The location was phenomenal and I experienced deep change from the ceremony and the ability to really slow down from my fast paced life. You could taste Jamie's food was made with love, it was delicious and wholesome! I always felt light and satisfied at the end of them. Really grateful for the both of them, what a special retreat!”
