Autumn Retreat
Jivamukti Yoga Retreat
October 24th - October 30th, 2024
MALLORCA, SPAIN
with Rowena Johnson
We will gather together this autumn for a magical time on the Mallorcan countryside to get out of our heads and into our hearts, set amidst the captivating beauty of Osa Major.
We chose to host our retreat at Osa Major due to their admirable commitment to sustainability. The boutique hotel is on a journey to becoming entirely self-sufficient, living off the land. Daily, we will indulge in delicious meals created by our amazing Chef Larissa from their own produce, embracing the farm-to-table experience.
Join us for seven transformative days of Jivamukti Yoga, sunrise Meditation, poetry, sound healing and nourishing food.
Immerse yourself in daily yoga practices, guided meditations, and soul-nourishing workshops, while embracing the healing vibrations of sound therapy. Indulge in delectable, plant-based cuisine crafted with love to nourish your being from within.
Reconnect with nature, nurture your spirit, and find solace in Mallorca's tranquil ambiance.

Osa Major
Osa Major, which is named after the ‘Great Bear’ star constellation that is visible above it every night, will be our beautiful Sanctuary for this magical Autumn Retreat. A beautiful old finca, in picture-postcard settings, with breathtaking views, far away from civilisation. A lovely house that has been painstakingly restored to its former state and beautifully renovated.
Lying on a hill and surrounded by an immense garden and a valley without end. Created with love and passion from Brenda and her husband they only used the resources that nature offers from the sun, that gives them the energy they needed, to the fertile grounds the vegetable garden, the Osa Verde, that grows the food we will eat.
