Treat yourself to a Viva-infused 4-day immersion.

A small group revelling in the land of possibilities with the understanding that it’s absolutely fine to bring all of you, nothing is off the table.

The essence of Viva is a fusion of stillness and frivolity! Both will be on offer at this retreat.

A deep pause in the busy-ness of life, a place of fun and laughter because life is not to be taken too seriously as Sydney Banks so often pointed out.

Embracing the joy the flexibility and freedom to adjust and follow where the wisdom in the room leads us.

We are creating a space where you can listen deeply to yourself.

Time you perhaps promise yourself at home … but it rarely happens.

Sacred space.

Sacred time.

For YOU.

Michaelangelo uncovered David through chipping away at the surface and removing all the excess material.

What if stillness and listening within offers that opportunity?

What if playful exploration uncovers YOU?

Releases YOU?

The unfettered YOU.

The YOU that is YOU.

The YOU that is always there.

Patient.

Loving.

Vibrant.

Whole.

Creative.

Pure potential.

Possibility.

Everything that sources the richness of Life. YOU.

That’s what we are up to during these 4 days together.

Part solo – diving deep within.

Part group – exploring together.

Enough structure to be helpful.

Lots of space to wonder and wander.

Imagine what it would be like to see habitual patterns that play out day after day and not be influenced by them.

What would life look like then?

How would you be spending your days?

Would you take up new hobbies?

Create new relationships?

How would relationship to anything be different?

The possibilities are endless.

This is the fertile ground we want to play in. The land of possibilities.

Are you ready to come and play with us?

To see YOU?

Beyond the beliefs and patterns?

Explore the possibilities?

To go home having realised the Truth of YOU.

And to continue experiencing life beyond the habitual patterns.

We are holding space for 12 beautiful souls to come be in this exploratory space of discovery.

This is sacred time and space.

Your sacred time and space.

We know the perfect group will come together.

You know if this resonates.

Where does the Retreat take place?

Beautiful Albir!

Situated in a lovely corner of the Costa Blanca, on the coast, and with all the amenities of a small, quiet, yet lively town, Albir is the ideal location for the retreat. Everything you could need to make this a relaxing, enjoyable and memorable experience can be found within walking distance including the beach, cafes, bars and restaurants, supermarket and a wide variety of shops.

Albir’s beach has received the coveted European Union Blue Ribbon award, annually since 2001 – not a bad recommendation!

A favourite route to walk in the nature park is the ‘Faro’ trail which leads to a lighthouse. If you are lucky you may catch a glimpse of a dolphin or two as you look down to the sea from the lighthouse. 

Hotel Rober Palas***

The venue is situated a 10 minute walk from the beach and a 2 minute walk to shops, cafés and restaurants. And only 10 minutes from the start of the popular scenic walk to the lighthouse.  

A few of the hotel features include:

  • Pool
  • Bar/cafeteria
  • Safes
  • Aircon
  • Gym
  • Rooftop terrace
  • 80 double rooms & suites
  • Free wifi

Beautiful safe place to share and learn. I’ve cried, laughed and been “plugged in” again to the wonderful 3p community all of which I really needed at this time. See you next year.
