ESSENCIA: Compassion, Creativity & Connection, Mallorca

ESSENCIA is a four-night immersion shaped around contemplation, the natural world, and the quiet delight of making with your hands.

Set at Son Rullan in the Serra de Tramuntana, ESSENCIA draws you into a subtle conversation with the landscape: terraced stone warmed by sun, wild rosemary stirred by the wind, the slow fall of light down the mountainside. The rhythm of the place invites a gentler tempo — one where your senses widen and your inner life finds room to breathe.

Each morning begins with meditation, movement, writing, and poetry — practices that gather you back to yourself. They create an inner clearing: a return to awareness that is spacious rather than effortful, rooted rather than striving.

Woven through the retreat is an orientation to compassion — including self-compassion: the practice of relating to yourself with patience, wisdom, understanding, and kindness, especially in the moments you’d normally tighten into self-criticism, so you can meet challenge with steadiness rather than shame.

From this ground of presence, the day opens into creative sessions with local artists — ceramicists, floral designers, and interdisciplinary makers whose work rises directly from the island’s textures and stories. Clay responds to the warmth of your hands; colour shifts with the afternoon light; a single stem becomes a study in form and instinct. Creativity here is less about producing and more about listening.

ESSENCIA is for the woman who senses a spark she hasn’t tended in some time — who longs for spaciousness, for beauty, for the distinct feeling of being quietly restored to herself. She knows her inner life needs more than insight; it needs wonder, and time, and a slower kind of noticing.

Each day reveals a different facet of contemplative and creative practice. Between sessions, there is generous time to wander the estate, rest in the shade, linger over meals, or let the day unfold in its own rhythm.

This is ESSENCIA: an immersion in contemplation, creative practice, movement, poetry, and rest — a return to loving contact with yourself, and the life that’s waiting underneath the rush.
