The Self-Loving Parents Retreats
Our concept
Our yoga and spiritual retreats for parents and kids allow parents to enjoy a powerful time of reconnection with themselves through soul and body practices, connection with a community of fellow parents, and quality time apart and together with their kids.
At the same time, through art workshops, stories telling, games, and activities in nature, children spend beautiful moments under the attentive care of a professional childhood educator.
Spiritual and in-depth nourishing holidays for the whole family!
Parents Program
Spiritual practices such as yoga, pranayama, meditation, breathwork, sharing circles, mantra singing, bonfire nights, ecstatic dance, cacao ceremony, sauna, etc. But also, some free time without the kids to spend with their partner, to rest, chill or read in the garden, go for a walk in the forest, journal, or connect with the other parents of the group.
Nothing else to do than reconnect with yourself, your beloved one if he came too, and your kids, enjoying fresh organic food, and a beautiful home. We take care of everything!
You have been longing for those relaxing, healing, and nourishing holidays, we promise you…
Kids program
Depending on the age group, kids will do yoga, and workshops such as dyeing t-shirts, and creating dream catchers, clay figures, flower crowns, or mandalas with natural elements.
They will spend time in nature doing outdoor activities, walks in nature, and various games to learn about animals and the environment.
When the evening comes, they will bake their own bread and cook it on the woodfire telling stories.
Your children will spend beautiful moments with other kids, just next to you, under the attentive care of Estela, our professional childhood educator.
Note:
For our retreats, we aim at dividing kids into two age groups. One with children between the ages of two and six and the second one between six and nine. We are thinking about organizing different retreats for different age groups. If parents have children between the two age groups we will find the best solution for them to participate in the retreats.
Since these are our first retreats, we allow all parents to apply no matter what is the age of their children and will see what age groups children belong to after receiving applications.

Warm clothes for the evenings by the fire.
A notebook or your journal.

A symbolic homemade gift that you will offer to another parent during one of our sharing circles.
Donation of toys, games, books, clothes, etc. that you don’t use anymore and that we invite you to share with the tribe.
Recommended mindset - commitment
Disconnect from your daily life, and from your phone, to reconnect to yourself, your child(ren), your partner, and the present moment. During the retreat, we will ask you to not use your phone, iPad, or other means to access social networks, media, or news, and to enjoy fully the time you have chosen to dedicate to yourself and to your loved one(s). You will have access to your phone for emergencies and news calls only.
Openness and authenticity, allowing yourself to be seen as you really are, and accepting to see how things really are too.
Trust and vulnerability, we will be sharing deep personal stuff, and we invite you to do so too.
Non-judgment, no criticism, using the principles of non-violent communication if you know them.
Kindness and welcoming attitude towards the staff, and the parents and children that will spend this time with you.
Respect for the premises and the neighbors.
Tolerance and understanding, we are just launching this new concept of retreats, so not everything may be perfect.
