What You'll Experience
The Reconnect Retreat is an invitation to nourish, explore, create, and realignâwith yourself, nature, and the Creator. Itâs a space to step away from the noise, reset your body and mind, and return to what truly matters. These are the 4 pillars of the retreat:

Nourishment
HEALING THROUGH FOOD
Food is more than just sustenanceâitâs a source of healing, pleasure, and deep connection. At this retreat, youâll experience MĂĄlagaâs incredible subtropical harvest at its peakâmangos, cherimoyas, persimmons, avocados, grapes, and rare tropical fruits cultivated in this unique region. Each meal is crafted with vibrant raw, living plant based ingredients that nourish the body at a cellular level while being deeply satisfying. Youâll also learn how to prepare some of these meals yourself, gaining hands-on skills to carry this nourishment into your everyday life.

Immersion
LEARNING FROM CREATION
Nature is Godâs first revelation, offering wisdom in the way the trees grow, the tides move, and the elements shape the land. This retreat invites you to immerse yourself in that wisdomânot just through observation, but through direct experience. Weâll explore the hills and beaches of MĂĄlaga, engaging with the elementsâearth, water, air, and fireânot just in theory but in practice. Weâll also visit a farm to harvest fruit directly from the trees, strengthening our connection to the land and the gifts it provides. When we slow down and pay attention, nature speaks. And through it, we learn.

Embodiment
MOVING, CREATING, SHARING
Our bodies are our vessels for experiencing life, and caring for them is essential. Each morning, weâll engage in light, functional movement to sharpen the mind, energize the body, and support well-being. But embodiment goes beyond just movementâitâs also about creative expression and shared experience. Through workshops, writing exercises, and meaningful conversations, weâll explore self-discovery, our relationship with nature, and our connection to one another. This retreat is not just about personal growthâitâs about the collective energy of a group coming together to learn, share, and support each other.

Reconnection
ALIGNING YOURSELF
Modern life can leave us feeling disconnectedârushing through the days, out of sync with ourselves, and distant from what truly matters. This retreat is an opportunity to pause, listen, and realign. Through moments of stillness, time in nature, and deep conversations, youâll be guided toward a greater sense of clarity and peace. Weâll explore how to cultivate inner awareness, release perfectionism, and reconnect with the wisdom that already exists within you and around you.
Exhale.
Remember.
Come Home.
Â
Somewhere along the way, life got loud. Youâve been carrying so muchâresponsibilities, expectations, maybe even battles no one else can see. This retreat is an invitation to put it all down for a while. To step into a space where nothing is asked of you except to be present.
Here, you will breathe deeply againâinhaling fresh mountain air, exhaling the weight youâve been holding. You will remember what true nourishment feels likeâin the sweetness of sun-ripened fruit, in food that heals and satisfies, in simple meals shared in good company. You will come home to yourselfâthrough nature, through movement, through the quiet moments where clarity begins to rise.
This is a time to reconnectâwith yourself, with the beauty around you, with Godâs voice whispering through the wind and the waves.
Leave behind the noise. Return to what matters.
Maja's beautiful experience
âI tried to love everyone on the outside, and be nice to everyone, but I forgot to love myself (âŠ) I realized I didnât change, I just became myself again.â
Maja has been part of the 3rd Retreat in MĂĄlaga
Louisa's Testimonial
"The Reconnect Retreat was for sure one of the most beautiful experiences of my life! (...) How can you even feel so connected to people you just met?! After a few days we were already family."
Louisa has been part of the 1st Retreat in MĂĄlaga
Mike's Lesson
"I have resistance to say it, but what Iâve learned about myself, is that everything I need is basically all inside me. I no longer need to search and look for something on the external, to distract myself, or to bring me some fulfillment. Because yeah, just through the breath and through the connection with others and nature and with myself, all these things are healing, and theyâre all within me."
Mike has been with us at 2 retreats already
This retreat is for you if...
- You feel disconnectedâfrom yourself, from nature, from something greaterâand you long to realign.
- You crave a pause, a moment to step away from the rush of life and truly breathe.
- Youâre drawn to nourishment that goes beyond foodâsomething that feeds your body, mind, and soul.
- You want to experience nature deeply, not just as a backdrop, but as a teacher, a healer, a guide.
- You seek clarity and renewal, a space to process, reflect, and return to what matters.
- Youâre ready to reconnect with food, movement, and creativity in a way that feels freeing, joyful, and intuitive.
- You feel called to be part of a meaningful experience, surrounded by people on a similar journeyâsharing meals, stories, and the simple beauty of being present together.
If this speaks to you, trust that pull. This is for you.
The Elements: Learning Through Creation
Godâs creation speaksânot in words, but in the way it moves, grows, and sustains life. The elementsâearth, water, air, and fireâreflect His wisdom, His design, and His presence. Throughout history, saints and seekers have drawn close to God by spending time in nature, learning from its rhythms, its stillness, and its power. At this retreat, we invite you to do the same.
We wonât just observe natureâweâll learn from it, through it, and with it.
- Earth â The foundation beneath us, the source of nourishment and stability. The earth reflects Godâs steadfastness, teaching us patience, trust, and the importance of deep roots. Walking the hills, harvesting fruit from the trees, and feeling the soil beneath our feet reminds us of how He sustains usâphysically and spiritually.
-
Water â Flowing, cleansing, ever-changing. Water mirrors Godâs mercy and renewal, reminding us to release what we hold onto and trust in His grace. Just as the sea moves with the tides, we are called to surrender and allow His plan to carry us forward.
-
Air â Unseen yet vital, filling our lungs with every breath. Air represents Godâs presenceâalways with us, whether we notice or not. Like the wind that shapes landscapes over time, His spirit moves within us, guiding and refining us in ways we may not always see but can always trust.
-
Fire â Light, warmth, transformation. Fire symbolizes Godâs power and purificationâa force that awakens, refines, and calls us to purpose. Whether itâs the heat of the sun on our skin or the warmth of shared meals, fire reminds us to embrace the passion and energy He has given us.
Creation was made not just for us to live in, but to learn from. The more we pay attention to it, the more we understand Godâs natureâHis patience in the slow growth of trees, His mercy in the cleansing waves, His presence in every breath, His power in the refining fire.
At this retreat, we will immerse ourselves in natureânot just for the sake of being in beautiful surroundings, but to listen, to learn, and to draw closer to God.

Haico's experience
"I was a little bit nervous, because I am not vegan (...) but everyone was connecting to each other, and accepting everyone. And that was so nice. You can be who ever you want to be."
Haico was with us at the 2nd edition of the retreat in Tenerife.
A few beautiful words from Keefe
"I think during the retreat I worried that there would be times when I would feel left out or feeling self-sabotaging emotions come up, but I felt so welcomed by everybody, everyone was so lovely. And that just made the experience that much more nicer"

What Joris is saying...
"More than taking something with me from the retreat, I have a sense of leaving something behind. I believe it's not what you accumulate, it's what you can release. I really felt, with the people at the retreat, like I can let go. I feel like I can leave behind part of my anxiety, part of the daily stresses, or doubts... That made me see more love"
Joris has joined 3 retreats so far!
Listen to Alex
"I think I'm a very lucky person, for having met Damian in highschool. We lost contact, but then reconnected many years after, when I started to watch his stories on social media. I thought 'Wow, this is amazing what he's doing'. I knew I wanted to help him and join his retreat without even thinking, and it has completely changed my life!"
