JUST 4 SPACES REMAINING!
Let’s come together to celebrate, transform and shine at our annual retreat at the incredible Suryalila in November 2020!
Join us for another special retreat at the stunning Suryalila with our founder, Kat, and one of our incredible teachers, Lucy McCarthy. It’s a cosy event with just 20 participants and gives us the chance to prepare for the oncoming winter- it’s the highlight of Kat’s year! All levels of practice are catered for; our only requirement is that we all adopt a friendly open-heartedness so we can all shine, together.
Winter Wellness Retreat Thursday 5th to Monday 9th November 2020
About Suryalila
We will be joining together at the absolutely incredible Suryalila in Spain for a winter wellbeing gathering, to enjoy the last of the season’s sunshine! With its beautifully decorated rooms, gorgeous rolling hills and olive groves, sauna, salt water pool and nourishing meals, Suryalila offers it all.
Suryalila has a magnificent dome yoga shala. This stunning space with underfloor heating has a dome window with breathtaking views across the horizon.
This gorgeous retreat centre in the heart of the rolling hills of Andalucía, less than an hour from the historic cities of Cadiz and Seville, is also home to the permaculture project, Dandyadara. It is nestled serenely in a large river valley on the edge of a mountainous national park and it is perfectly located to visit the culturally rich towns of the region and unspoilt beaches of the Costa de Luz. A striking part of the natural beauty of the property is the breathtaking vista extending in all directions: gently undulating hills, fields of sunflowers, and lakes.
“Suryalila is a magical spot – you feel the deep peace the moment you arrive, and after one night, you never want to leave again.”
Martin D. Clark, editor OM Yoga and Lifestyle Magazine.
The Retreat
Bookings are now open for this amazing opportunity to learn with one of our very popular MFML yoga teachers Lucy McCarthy who will be teaching classes in the morning to fire your soul and get you moving and in the evening to ground and centre. Kat Farrants, Founder of MFML will join the group on this retreat and will be giving fireside chats on transformation and manifestation. Suryalila is the perfect environment in which to bask in the beauty of the natural surroundings, be fed the most incredible food and in your downtime enjoy the delights of massages and saunas! What’s not to love?
This will be a very small, personal group and there will be time to laugh, talk or to enjoy the beautiful local nature. The atmosphere will be cosy, intimate and supportive. Give yourself the gift of nourishment and invest in yourself in the best way possible.
The freshly prepared food here is so good and a very real reason that our founder Kat has kept coming back! A hearty, breakfast, lunch and dinner are served, using some of the freshest, seasonal and locally-sourced organic fruit and vegetables prepared freshly in the kitchen, straight from the garden. Nutritionally balanced and well planned to sustain you with vital vitamins and minerals and leave you feeling energised. Vegan diets, food allergies and intolerances can all be catered for.
In your spare time, you can simply relax, or take part in the many activities on offer; you could wander the permaculture project, take walks among the hills, explore the scenery on horseback, relax in the sauna and soak up local culture in the nearby towns.
There will only be a maximum of 20 spaces on this retreat.
Daily Programme
On this retreat we will be using the dynamic morning session to heat, cleanse and purify the body and mind ready for the winter ahead, and the afternoon sessions will be an exploration of more restorative practices such as breath work, restorative yoga and yoga nidra.
