It’s time to come home to yourself
Give yourself the gift of taking part in a transformational women’s retreat, held in a stunning, luxurious finca in the magnificent mountains of Andalusia in Southern Spain.
Rest and reconnect away from the demands and distractions of daily life. Invest in some concentrated self-care. Heal body and soul with the support of Emily and Sophie, in the company of other like-minded women. Feel the magic which happens when you connect to your inner guidance and receive the gems your true nature has to share with you.
Imagine yourself relaxing in the warmth of the sun… swimming in the infinity pool overlooking the magnificent mountains… enjoying delicious, healthy meals lovingly prepared for you three times a day…grounding and restoring with daily yoga… reconnecting with your own wisdom, reviving your dreams and inspirations…making new friends or curling up with a good book on a peaceful terrace…enjoying good company under the light of the stars…
What to expect
Emily Roberti, an experienced yoga teacher, will guide you through a well balanced schedule of twice daily yoga, meditation and breathwork. Mornings will be uplifiting and dynamic to help shift stagnation, and evenings will incorporate restorative/yin yoga with guided relaxation (yoga nidra) to soothe the nervous system.
Sophie Partridge, master life coach and experienced tarot reader, will guide you in her workshops to track the messages and guidance of your own true nature. She will offer guided journeys and exercises, share some practical tools, and invite you to reflect, share and journal, all while safely held in a supportive circle of women. During the week each participant will be offered the choice of a one-to-one coaching session or a tarot reading with Sophie.
Delicious plant-based food will be served throughout the retreat. All meals will be vegetarian delights prepared by Benjamin from La Pachamama Organic Kitchen to nourish your body and soul. You won’t be disappointed we promise!
Leave the retreat feeling rooted, revitalised and inspired, clearer on where you are heading, and equipped with some practical tools to help you stay on track.

Retreat Testimonials
-
"I felt called to book this retreat despite having never met either of you. I didn't quite know what I was coming for ... but I sensed some alchemy awaited. Being in your presence was such a gift. I was destined to cross paths with you two gorgeous souls, as well as the other women on the retreat. I learnt something about myself from everyone there. The sunshine, the luminous light and the 'heart chakra green' flora fed me as much as the incredible food, inspiring conversations and introspective sessions"

"There is alchemy at play when these two work together and it's a rare and precious magic. Ask anyone who has done a retreat with Emily and Sophie - just don't tell everyone when you have!"

"It's funny, I think I came away with rest and re-set on my mind but actually what I needed was an open community, space to connect to what is actually happening in my life and permission to be allowed to give time to that. Each yoga practice and coaching session opened up more to me and I've come away feeling like something in me has started to unlock and release. I feel more clarity and more grounded - I didn't think I realised how much I was tucking away which needed to be addressed. A huge thank you"
