Food
Vegetarian, Ecological
Delicious vegetarian food with Asian influences, lovingly prepared by our renowned Filipino chef, Corlie. We are just as famous for our vegetarian food as we are for our teachings.
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.
