Inner Attunement Retreat
May 1 - 5, 2026
Re-connect with your purpose through nature-immersed restoration in Menorcan wilderness.
The Invitation
Amidst these tumultuous and heart-breaking times, you feel something inside shift. Maybe it begins as a faint whisper or a tug at the heart and grows clearer: the call to re-connect with your inner truth and purpose.
This retreat is an invitation to those who have scaled summits of external success, but still search for internal alignment. It is an experiential training in attunement to who we really are: our unique gifts, core values, and visions for a more beautiful world.
Over 5 days and 4 nights on the soulful Spanish island of Menorca, we cultivate powerful tools to reconnect with our original compass. Anchored by the silence, slowness and natural wonder of this astoundingly well-preserved UNESCO coastal biosphere, and guided by the intelligence of neuroscience and contemplative tradition alike, we engage ‘inner’ and ‘outer’ nature — body, breath, senses and spectacular landscapes — to gain access to our intuition and bravely approach the big questions.
Each morning begins with quiet reflection, journaling and a mindful ‘0 km’ breakfast of local products. We then embark on a silent hike exploring an awe-inspiring stretch of Menorcan coastline, complete with a nature-immersed meditation. Afternoons offer spacious time to connect over lunch, relax solo, or engage in deeper work (or better yet, play) through attunement workshops that employ aromas, language, and inner anthropology. In the early evenings, we downshift our rhythm with restorative yoga and yoga nidra, a guided sleep practice renowned for its rejuvenating benefits. Each day ends with a beautiful al fresco dinner prepared by a private chef, filled with deep community and unforgettable conversations.
Our retreat takes place at a lovingly restored, 19th century private villa in Menorca’s northeast territory, surrounded by wild olive trees and the most diverse and pristine calas (coves) on the island. Passionately curated by local stewards, this stunning property offers cozy interiors with artisanal touches and serene outdoor spaces overlooking medicinal herb fields and panoramic vistas.
