An eye-opening tour of Spain*
Muslims lived in Andalucia, Spain for 800 years before they were completely exterminated. Visit the sites and monuments that mark this remarkable history, reflect on the lessons learned from the founders, leaders and these European Muslims, and draw parallels and lessons to what's happening in your life today. *Note: the tour is an add-on to your booking.
A safe, caring space to examine your questions, deal with your struggles and heal
As you're inspired by the beauty and magnificence of Spain, engage in self-exploration and re-build the self-love that's rightfully yours. Asma is trained to do this in a safe, caring manner that does not force you to do or say anything you're not ready for. Rather, she'll ensure that you're respected, heard and valued for what you bring, and that you can keep everything private that you want to keep private.
Immersion in a healing environment with meditation, exercise, healthy eating and wellness practices.
Every day at the retreat will be infused with healing practices including meditation, healthy eating, and time for reflection. In addition, you'll have the option to practice yoga, go mountain trekking and enjoy horseback riding. Together, these practices will be a catalyst to your personal transformation and inspire you to continue them upon your return home.
A holistic wellness programme based on your needs
Before you depart for the retreat, Asma will arrange a phone consultation with you to discuss your needs and goals. If you wish, she'll work with you to develop a week-long programme of healthy eating, rest, exercise and holistic wellness to get you back to a balanced and healthy lifestyle. During the retreat, she'll follow up with you each day on your progress. After the retreat, she'll hold a follow-up session with you by phone to discuss your on-going development.
