This beneficial and heart-opening retreat week is dedicated to the wisdom of the heart.
The heart is the source of love and compassion. This is the guiding principle in bhakti yoga, a yoga practice of devotion and surrender, and of connection with the universal aspect within and around you, which you can experience in your daily life.
The intention of the exercises is to heal and open your heart and to awaken the energy in the body. Firstly through relaxation, rest and stillness in order to promote acceptance of where you are right now in your life. This brings you closer to your feelings and your inner wisdom.
This week provides emotional peace, healing and soothing of the nervous system.

The healing effect of yoga lies in honouring yourself throughout the practice. Yoga means wholeness. The heart is the gateway to the field of full potential and inner peace.
With her yoga and meditation sessions, Dorien focuses primarily on opening the heart. Her sessions are a combination of Hatha, Yin, meditation, Sufi, Dru and shamanic exercises aimed at feeling contact with your heart, body and mind, and being able to connect with them attentively.

Through her years of experience as a teacher, trainer and entrepreneur, she knows better than anyone how to lovingly guide you back to yourself. Her sessions are a balm for body and mind, bringing you into a state of inner peace, openness and self-love both physically and mentally. It is the ultimate state where the self-healing capacity becomes active again.

Alongside the yoga and meditation classes, more than enough time has been left in the programme to do exactly what you need. You are free to make use of all the facilities on the estate, such as the lovely saltwater swimming pool, the many romantic terraces where you can read a book, or rest in a hammock in the large garden. There is a tennis court with rackets and balls that you can use, you can hire one of the (electric) mountain bikes, take a lovely walk in the surrounding area and much more!

It is also possible to book a private Ayurvedic healing massage with Dorien during your stay.
95 euros per hour, 140 euros for 1.5 hours.

On top of a hill, in the middle of a vast nature reserve, lies our characteristic and rare house from 1700, on two hectares of land. In former days pilgrims stayed here on their way to Barcelona. The authentic Spanish renovated farmhouse is surrounded by gardens, terraces, farmland and woods and contains a unique diversity of trees and plants. One of those mighty centuries-old trees extends its long branches over the side of our old house…
