Welcome to Ibiza. Welcome to the White Island.
I’m very excited to embark on this transformative journey with you as we delve into ancient yogic practices and the sacred energies of Ibiza. This week-long retreat is designed to reconnect you with the ancient wisdom that resides within, blending element-based practices, rituals, ceremonies, and yoga to awaken the modern mystic within you.
Ibiza is truly magical, known for a deep spiritual frequency and stunning nature with hidden gems of caves and coves, the island is a perfect spot for a yoga retreat and deep inner work. In this retreat we dive into the five elements; Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether to connect to the wisdom of the Earth.
During our stay we explore the magic of this island for seven beautiful days. Home base is a stunning sunset retreat place overlooking the sea on the south side of the island. Here, we will be enjoying some peaceful, fun and nourishing days together.
The mornings are spend moving inwards - diving deep into the practice of yoga. After breakfast we either embark on beautiful hikes, chill by the pool, get a massage onsite, go to the beach or adventure on our own. In the afternoon we meet again either in ceremony or explore yogic practices like slow flow, yin, restorative yoga, pranayama and rituals. We end every evening with a meditation and closing circle.
Looking forward to journey with you.
Much love,
Marie-Louise

ISLAND Hike
Ibiza is so much more than music and parties, it is a haven of pure nature, and breathtaking landscapes. You find everything from green hills, olive groves, secret coves, and shimmering turquoise waters. The island is full of magic hiking routes where you will find bliss as your companion, and nature as your dearest friend.
During the retreat we have one longer silent hike together with meditation ritual to really immerse ourselves into the beautiful nature and savor in the magic of the island.
THE TEMASZCAL CEREMONY - traditional sweatlodge
Temazcal is an ancestral shamanic ritual practiced by ancient civilizations throughout Central & North America, including the Maya, Aztecs & Toltecs. It is performed for hygienic, ritualistic, therapeutic and spiritual purposes. It begins with a welcoming ceremony by our Temascalero - Addaligr, who’s a native Mexican brought up partaking in these ceremonies. After that we enter the Temazcal, already at a high temperature, where you will take a seat in a circle around the hot stones. Seated on the bare ground, in the dark our Shaman will sing and add special herbs on the stones to cleanse your body and mind. During the process he will guide us through four ‘doors’ (rounds) where we are invited to sing and share. During the whole ceremony we are seated inside the sweatlodge, which will only be opened for fresh air in between the ‘doors’. It’s a very deep and beautiful experience.
the RETREAt PLACE
Away from the hustle and bustle, there’s a mountain getaway overlooking the sea with a sunset view. A dream destination spread over 30,000 m2.
