Voice of the Heart: Chanting and Yoga Retreat in Spain (and Spanish)

During this retreat, you’ll be gently guided to open your heart through devotional singing, classical Hatha Yoga practice, and silent meditation. Please note that it is taught in Spanish.

We invite you to a weekend escape to one of Spain’s lesser-known jewels: La Vera. This region stands out as an exceptional natural environment, a hidden paradise, with its dense forests and numerous gorges of crystal-clear waters and natural pools that invite you to dive and relax.

Expect a profound reset from the stress of modern life, settling back into a natural state of well-being and happiness.

You will depart with your soul nurtured by the joy of singing, good company, healthy food, and a deeper connection with your sacred essence!

Location and Accommodation

Finca Pura Vida is a 6-ha property on the slopes of an idyllic valley, hidden in the foothills of the Sierra de Gredos in the region of La Vera, approximately 2 hours from Madrid. La Vera is a unique natural area, one of the secret jewels of Spain, with its lush forests, abundance of crystal clear rivers, and a multitude of pools for bathing and relaxing. The natural space of the estate is very welcoming. There are multiple corners that invite you to connect with nature and yourself. There is also a hill with a 360-degree view of the mountains and the Tiétar valley.

For accommodation, you can choose between a private tent equipped with a mattress and bedding, a bunk bed in a shared dormitory, or a private caravan. The retreat and life generally take place primarily outdoors in the shade of the trees, but for very hot moments, there is also an indoor practice space and several covered common areas.
