Our program
At Wild Unknown Retreat, each day builds on top of the other and is designed to help you reconnect with the unknown: with yourself, with nature, and with what truly matters to you.
Grounding yoga
Start each day with a harmonious
blend of meditation, pranayama (breathwork), hatha yoga, and slow vinyasa yoga. These practices are crafted to energize your body, clarify your mind, and cultivate inner strength, setting a grounding tone for the day ahead.
Silence
Each morning unfolds in nurturing silence. Until breakfast, you are invited to refrain from social engagement. This sacred quietude supports introspection, clears mental clutter, and deepens your inner journey. What may seem challenging at first often reveals unexpected depth and clarity.
Nature immersion
Step outside and immerse yourself in the breathtaking Alpujarra mountains. Whether it’s a guided hike through ancient trails, a silent nature walk by yourself, a refreshing river dip, or simply taking in the stillness, these moments in the wild will help you feel more connected and alive.
Workshops
Beyond movement, our retreats offer space for personal reflection and transformation. Through guided workshops, journaling, and creative exercises, you’ll explore new perspectives and gain insights that stay with you long after the retreat ends.
Human Connection
One of the most beautiful aspects of retreat life is the people you meet along the way. Through sharing circles, meaningful group experiences and shared meals, we create a space of trust, laughter, and deep connection—where you can show up as your true self.
Nourishment
Savor delicious, organic meals prepared with love and care, nourishing your body and fueling your journey. Learn to embrace health through wholesome food and intentional living, with plenty of time for self-care and relaxation.
