Mindfulness & Wellbeing Retreat in the Basque Country

This residential retreat, led by experienced mindfulness teacher Vicky Hope, is designed to provide a nurturing and supportive environment for both beginners and seasoned practitioners. The days are thoughtfully structured to balance group meditation sessions with ample personal time for rest, reflection, and connection with nature. You'll practice mindfulness in community, sharing meals, and space with like-minded individuals, all while being held in a safe and compassionate atmosphere.

The retreat takes place at Perunea, a beautiful eco-renovated farmhouse surrounded by lush forests and majestic mountains. The house, built in the 16th century, was carefully remodeled using bio-construction and bioclimatic systems, creating a warm and inviting home-from-home. With organic meals made from garden produce, herbal teas, and a peaceful setting, every aspect of this retreat is designed to nourish your body and soul.

Vicky, a mother, educational psychologist, and mindfulness teacher, brings years of personal and professional experience to her teaching. Her approach is down-to-earth and relatable, making mindfulness accessible to everyone. She is passionate about sharing the benefits of the practice and creates a space where participants feel comfortable exploring their inner world.

The retreat includes periods of extended silence, allowing for deeper introspection and a true break from constant stimulation. Optional activities such as restorative yoga and guided forest walks provide gentle ways to further enhance your experience. This is a holistic retreat that supports your mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing.
