Transport not includedDeep Autumn: A Journey to Your Roots
Past the peak of autumn, the forest teaches us to let go of the superficial. This Mindfulness & Yoga Retreat (October 23–25) is designed for those seeking more than just a getaway: a real immersion into calm. When tourism slows down and silence increases, the door opens for quality inner work.
Guided by a Psychologist and Yogi with 40 years of practice, we will use this introspective energy to strengthen your roots. It is time to nourish what is essential in you and let fall what no longer serves.
Why choose this October weekend?
- Intimacy in the Palace: You will stay at Casa Marterena, our 13th-century palace. In late October, we kindle the warmth of home. The stone walls and ancient wood create a perfect refuge for reading, resting, and slow conversation.
- The Mystical Forest: We will visit the Irati Forest in its most mystical phase. Morning mists and the carpet of leaves create a fairytale landscape that invites silence and deep contemplation (Shinrin-Yoku).
- Grounding Yoga: Hatha and Kundalini Yoga practices focused on the first and second chakras (Muladhara and Svadhishthana). We work on emotional stability and creativity from the base.
- Deep Psychology: Workshops to explore your “roots”: values, purpose, and blocks. A safe space to look inward with kindness and clarity.
- Healing Vibration: The Gong Bath and drum resonate deeply in the October silence, helping to soothe the nervous system and integrate the seasonal changes.
- Autumn Nutrition: Full-board organic vegetarian cuisine. Our kitchen fills with pumpkins, chestnuts, mushrooms, and spoon dishes that comfort and provide internal warmth.
