Program
The schedule will be adjusted according to the season, the weather, and your skills and wishes. You will be outside as much as possible. When the weather is good, you will do some sunrise sessions at the pool in the morning. You could also start the day with one of the 5 marked routes around the finca. In the summer riding will be really early or in the evening and hot afternoons could be spent at the pool side. There will be some time for you between the activities to absorb and integrate, book extra sessions, enjoy the infinity pool, stroll in the garden or rest in the hammock. It will be possible to fill your days with activities. You, however, are encouraged not to get too busy but instead, take some time to be on your own and reflect.

Yoga
Equestrian yoga training and other exercises for the wellbeing of your physical body, to create a nice feeling in your emotional body, balance your mind, set clear intentions, and tune in to your spiritual body.
Horse riding
Nano or Raul, the Fincas experienced guides, will take you out on amazing rides in the breath taking landscape and beautiful nature of Grazalema Park. The horses are calm and used to carry riders on every level around safely.
-Voice & Sound Journey
If you would like to explore and express yourself through the use of your voice. The voice is the first instrument, coming from the depths of human existence. The goals with this practice is to: more consciously hear and know yourself, feel free to express yourself, make yourself heard, free yourself from limiting conditioning, develop greater understanding of your creative expression and create a greater trust in yourself. You could also be introduced to "light code/language"
Peter Hess® Sound Massage
The session typically starts with the client lying down comfortably on a yoga mat, matress, bed or a massage table, fully clothed. Each session is tailor-made to suit the needs of the client. Tibetan singing bowls are placed on or around the body, often on specific energy centers or chakras, and played with a mallet. The resonant sounds and vibrations emitted by the singing bowls are thought to gently balance and harmonize the body’s energy, facilitating relaxation and a sense of inner calm. The vibrations and frequencies produced are said to penetrate deeply into the body, helping to release tension, reduce stress, and induce a meditative state.
Moon Ceremony
A celebration to the Moon - It can be done in many ways. In summer just laying down looking at the sky is an amazing experience. In colder seasons a Yoga Moon Salutation might be a better choice. We use crystals and have different themes according to the lunar phases and what astrological sign the moon is in.
First quarter symbolizes action, decision-making, and overcoming obstacles, all crucial aspects of personal growth. Think of it as the universe’s way of giving you a gentle nudge to start putting your plans into motion. To manifest your New Moon intentions.
Full Moon shines the light on things that might have been hidden or unseen. During the full moon phase, the sun’s opposition to the moon represents a peak of energy, clarity and intuition. This is the time to see yourself clearly, to look inwards and not push your body to hard. Full Moon is about completion. Rest in who and where you are. Appreciate what you have achieved. Moon Bathing is said to be beneficial. Going into water is said to make you absorb her powerful energy even more. So why not dive into the infinity pool. It’s a moment to pause, reflect, and connect with your inner self. Spiritually, it helps cleanse negative energy, enhance emotional release, and encourage a deeper sense of calm. Charging crystals under the full moon is a powerful and ancient ritual rooted in the belief that the moon’s energy can cleanse, amplify and recharge a crystal’s inherent properties.
Last quarter reflect and release. Let go of what doesn't serve you and prepare for new beginnings.
New Moon is the best time for star gazing. As you are in the middle of a natural park far away from city and town lights you will be amazed how many stars you can see. The moon is in conjunction with the sun and thus in the current zodiac sign for the period. Now its time to set new intentions. This is the time to plant new seeds, both in garden and in life. Seeds of intention - goals, dreams, or aspects of yourselves you wish to cultivate. Just as a seed requires darkness to germinate, your own transformations often begin in the quiet hush of introspection. One way to do that is to build your own crystal grid.
Crystals
You can use crystals in a grid to amplify your intentions. If you don't know anything about crystals you just choose the ones you like intuitively. If you want help to choose crystal with specific properties and benefits your hosts are happy to assist. Crystals is also helpful during meditation. Especially chakra meditations where a crystal connected to the chakra you work with can be used.
All tuition is tailor-made to suit each individual's level and preferences, starting with the basics. The stable has all-around saddles, the bridles are single bridles. The retreat also includes meditation, mindfulness, yoga, core, qigong, a nice walk, fresh wind, sunshine, birds singing, and lovely views, as well as coaching in a “guiding to find your own insights” way.
Included excursions
4-6 -hours of trail ride in the beautiful nature park
If you don't want to ride you will be offered something else instead. If you happen to be here when the moon is full you will have the option to ride in the light of the full moon through the ravines and paths of the Natural Park. Horseback riding at night in the Sierra de Grazalema is a different way to listen to the sounds of the night, the cork oak forests illuminated by the moon, the pleasure of riding at night in nature... an extraordinary and unforgettable experience.
Suitable for inexperienced riders, this is a simple route with docile horses used to work with people who are just starting out. Time on horseback will be 1 hour and 30 minutes. This could be swapped against included riding or be added. Please check availability and note that basic riding equipment is necessary: boots, long pants or riding pants and warm clothes.
