A wonderful place to go on a retreat. The location in the mountains of Asturias, surrounded by nature, enchanted us from the moment we arrived. A special mention to Steve, who taught us the essence of Chi Kung and meditation. We really appreciated his way of transmitting in each practice. We feel very grateful for such an enriching experience from the first to the last day. Highly recommended, we will repeat.

Steve y Corlie fueron más que anfitriones, fueron los perfectos guías para nuestro viaje. La amabilidad y calidez con la que nos trataron, junto con tu energía, hicieron que cada momento fuera especial. Entendimos como el Chi Kung afecta a nuestra energía vital, y el conocimiento profundo y el enfoque práctico de Steve hicieron las enseñanzas muy accesibles para todos. Muy sorprendidos con esta práctica que desconocíamos. El enclave en la montaña es justo lo que necesitábamos para desconectar y volver a conectar.

I was doing a retreat on my own and it has been a beautiful few days. A magical retreat. The schedule of activities is perfectly chosen to progress and deepen throughout the days. The food prepared by Corlie was delicious and the place is perfect to disconnect and recharge batteries. Very grateful for the experience!
