Granada, Spain September 2-9, 2024

Join us for 7 nights/8 days for an enriching experience in the Andalucia region of southern Spain. Filled with fascinating and rich history, a stunning interplay of different architectural styles, beautiful natural landscape, and lovely weather are only some of the reasons why you would want to join this adventure.

ACCOMMODATIONS

In a quiet village in the valley of Lecrín, Albuñuelas sits this exclusive Andalusian accommodation, “THE SILVER MILL.” With more than a century of history, the mill dates back to 1885 and was transformed into an intimate and cozy boutique hotel. The warm atmosphere and careful attention to detail is a haven of peace where you can enjoy the serene countryside. The Silver Mill is located in between Granada and the Southern Coast of Spain and will allow us to enjoy both areas during the retreat.

Farm to Table Cuisine

Food is a language we all understand and connects us to each other and the cultures we are exploring. Breakfast and Dinner will be prepared by local chefs, who specialize in traditional Andalusian cuisine. The meals served at Silver Mill is reminiscent of the dishes cooked by their families. Whether it is meat or fish roasted on charcoal flame, grilled vegetables from our garden, a paella, fresh pasta or vegan dish, they are made with passion and the purest ingredients. For quiet mornings, there will be a wide selection of fresh and homemade products from their garden. Free-range eggs prepared just the way you like them, fresh natural yogurt and granola, ham or vegan toast with homemade bread or fluffy biscuits freshly made daily in our kitchen. All accompanied by a healthy juice with oranges from their land.

For lunch, we will stop at restaurants showcasing a variety of local cuisine. Fall in love with Spanish flavor as it feeds the belly and the soul.

All diets and food allergies can be accommodated

Movement and Meditation

Movement is medicine for our body. Our morning movement will provide physical support for the day’s activities. During meditation we will set intentions for the upcoming experiences. We will come together again in the evening to wrap up the day and prepare your minds and bodies for rest and renewal.

Daily, we will be moving our bodies or having meditation in their bright and peaceful, Shala Yoga Studio. It is a haven of peace, with wooden guarded ceilings and fixed glass walls, which provide natural light and panoramic views of the garden. We also will take movement outside on the terrace to connect with nature and the breathtaking views.

The pool will be the perfect place to relax, read a book, or cool off. We may even have a refreshing water aerobics class one morning or have meditation by the pool.

Right out our door are hiking trails we can walk to. The Silver Mill is located in a more dry area of Andalusia and has beautiful nature to explore and find solitude.
