THE LEELA
Like a garden, the heart requires regular tending and nurturing to blossom fully. In the realm of Yoga, the heart, particularly the light that dwells within it, becomes a sanctuary we aspire to enter, where the wisdom of the heart can be awakened and embraced. Unlike the mind, which relies on information to understand, the heart reveals itself through surrender, trust, and joy. The heart's power can realign us with our deepest desires, enabling us to rediscover our authenticity and true selves. The heart is a transformative space where we can turn poison into nectar and open a gateway to perceive the world through the lens of love and tenderness.
This immersion invites women to gather and embark on a graceful journey of inner softening, leading to a path abundant with joy and wisdom.
When we allow ourselves the chance to retreat from our daily grind and immerse in nature, community, contemplation and play, we return to a restful and more true state of being, reconnecting with the heart's wisdom and wholeness.
ON THIS 5-NIGHT IMMERSION, WE WILL SPEND OUR DAYS...
THE ART OF PLAY
We will explore the dance of life. Through movement, dance, self-enquiry, and daily ritual, we'll awaken the senses and open up to the flow of creativity, sensuality, and joy.
Through embodied practice, playful ceremony, and simple daily rhythm, we'll shake off the dust of old habits and remember what it feels like to be fully present in our bodies, in our senses, in the dance of life itself.
YOGA PRACTICES
Explore the nourishment and vitality of somatic and breath-centric movement, guiding you home into the body, connecting with your unique inner rhythm and natural life force. Discover how movement can be medicine and a gateway to hearing and feeling your heart's inner wisdom, your intuition, and your creative essence.
Through moving and breathing with generosity and play, you'll bring release and spaciousness into your body and heart-mind field.
ISLAND OF THE SENSES
Ibiza is an island long known as a place of freedom, magic, and transformation. Frolic in the sea, relax by the pool, dance the night away. Allow the Mediterranean salt air to reawaken your senses, reconnecting you with pleasure, play, and your own natural rhythm. Through twice-daily group practices, and delicious food, we'll awaken the senses and discover both inner and outer spaciousness amidst the island's wild, sun-soaked beauty
NOURISHMENT & FEAST
Explore the nourishment and vitality of mindfully curated dining experiences, with simplicity, beauty, and your natural appetite for pleasure. Discover how a meal can be medicine, and a gateway to slowing down, savouring, and feeling truly nourished from the inside out.
Through eating with generosity and presence, you'll bring release and spaciousness into your body and heart-mind field..
Come together with soul sisters, in a space of sun, sensuality, and play to move, feel, and open your heart

Our finca — a traditional Ibicenco farmhouse has been meticulously rebuilt while keeping its authentic soul: exposed beams, stone walls, terracotta floors, and organic linens throughout. You'll wander through lush Ibizan and tropical gardens, fig and banana trees, bamboo and bougainvillea. Tucked away in complete privacy, you're still just minutes on foot from Santa Eulària's white-sand beach, marina, fine dining, cafés and shops — with the Punta Arabí and Las Dalias hippy markets a short drive away.

Who shines with a light that illuminates the path for others to follow. Imagine yourself as this woman, for she resides within you, ready to empower and inspire."

Meet Your Guide
Rachel Nokes
I love to gather.. I’m a connector. I love nothing more than hosting folks to co-create the divine mood. I love to explore ways to express love and sweet union with the earth and with each other, which reminds us that we are all family; we are one. I believe we all hold the key to freedom within our system; my commitment to myself and to you is to play and dance ourselves there through breath-centric movement, mantra and ritual. I’m devoted to exploring the yogic tradition and testing out what the ancients have lovingly shared with us all. I’m happiest when I'm surrounded by friends, chanting sacred sounds, walking barefoot, feeling salt in my hair and sand between my toes. In holding space, I'll guide you to the heart of yourself. It's there the inner teacher resides; it’s through this communion deep within yourself that the freedom resides. I cannot wait to gather with you; my heart aches in the knowing of what will unfold, given the dream team who will be holding you. Hand-picked for their devotion and gifts, we look forward to greeting you with arms wide open.
"We live amidst this constant, unceasing, tidal movement, so it's important to be able to return to, and experience, a rested centre that is able to hold a constellation of qualities all around us, no matter where we are, no matter what might try to break in on our solitude and peace, or what difficult or chaotic threshold we might find ourselves on. We might also, strangely, find ourselves on an unsettling threshold of joy and happiness and wonder how we can make a sure foundation for that happiness; how to continue experiencing it in a more restful way and thus take it a step deeper by understanding its source."

Throughout the whole experience I felt supported by Rachel’s care and how she compassionately held space for our time to unfold organically. Nothing felt rushed or forced, so we could move with the flow and rhythm and be more present. Daily yoga with Rach’s guidance helped us digest our experiences each day. I’m grateful I shared this retreat with a warm-hearted group of people who have now become soul family. Thank you, Rachel, for the ways you held space for this to be such a significant experience.”
