3-day Entry Retreat for the Camino de Santigo de Compostela

Here, we offer a retreat to prepare you for walking the Camino. Additionally, we provide an exit retreat as a separate event, designed to help you find closure after completing the Camino and prepare for reintegration into normal life.

This entry retreat is specifically designed to prepare you for the Camino. Walking the Camino is a stark contrast to the busy life filled with demands and challenges imposed by society. Therefore, it is essential to take the time to slow down and prepare yourself before embarking on this journey. This retreat is structured around an adapted Vision Quest with the idea that immediately after this retreat you will embark on your personal quest to seek guidance, clarity, and spiritual insight while walking the Camino.

We think that you owe it to yourself to make a small investment to prepare yourself mentally, spiritually and emotionally. Just as you invest in good walking shoes to make the most of your time on the Camino, it is equally important to prepare yourself for the transformative journey that lies ahead.

When your plane lands in Santiago/Porto/Coruña, your Camino has started! It's time to switch gears and disconnect from the external noise and your daily worries. Empty your mind, clear your emotions, and suit up spiritually! And what better place to do this than in the very same natural surroundings you will encounter along the Camino? Our retreat is located just one hour north of Santiago de Compostela, fully surrounded by nature and vibrant with the healing energy for which the Camino is known. Far away from the distractions and busyness of everyday life, we offer a safe place to help you transition and enter a more relaxed mental state, allowing you to become more open to your spiritual goals.

Our venue is a traditional homestead unlike anything you have stayed in before. It's a time-capsule where time stands still, as described by many attendees. This intentional separation from the familiar creates the space needed for reflection, self-discovery, and spiritual exploration. It also makes it really easy to digitally detox, giving your smartphone the well-deserved rest it needs.

We will guide you through an adapted Vision Quest program to prepare you in just 3 days or 6 days (the extended program). Our approach remains rooted in the core intention of a vision quest: "to connect with one's inner self, the natural world, and the spiritual realm. Through deep introspection, meditation, prayer, and immersion in nature, participants open themselves to receive insights, guidance, and visions that can offer profound personal revelations, spiritual growth, and a sense of purpose". Within the condensed timeframe of 3-6 days, we will assist you in clearing programs, beliefs, and energies that may hinder the attainment of these goals.

We worked extensively with the nature around our venue so that it is peaked to offer you its wisdom. All you need to do is connect! To facilitate this, we offer support, guidance, and rituals to create a safe and sacred space. Our teachings, ceremonies, and practices are designed to deepen your connection with your inner self, the land, and the spiritual dimensions.

Your Vision Quest does not end when you leave our retreat; it is just the beginning! As you embark on the Camino immediately after your time with us, the Vision Quest continues, allowing the Universe to weave profound experiences and insights into your life, contributing to the collective tapestry of wisdom and healing for which the Camino is renowned. Your serendipitous experiences will be off the charts, all thanks to the extra investment you make. Remember, only when you are open can you receive. The Universe and Nature like nothing better than to give gifts to those that can receive.

We look forward to welcoming you back for the exit retreat, to hear your stories, experiences, insights, and lessons learned. It will also provide an opportunity to support your integration back into normal life and ensure that your precious gifts do not evaporate amidst the hustle and bustle of the first week.

To ensure a fully immersive experience in our program, we offer individual teachings in multiple languages, including English, Dutch (Nederlands), Spanish (Español), and Frisian (Frysk). This diverse language support allows us to cater to a wider range of participants, promoting inclusivity and enabling effective communication and understanding. Our dedicated team of teachers is fluent in these languages and capable of delivering the teachings with clarity and precision. Read More
