Discover serenity in the presence of horses – where mindfulness meets tranquility

Horses possess an incredible sensitivity to our innermost feelings, often revealing what lies beneath our conscious awareness. Through their behavior, they compel us to confront aspects of ourselves we might overlook. Simply being in their presence teaches us to quiet our minds and tap into somatic, emotional, and intuitive cues we might otherwise disregard.

The rhythm of a horse's heart holds a special power over ours. Their heartbeats exhibit coherence – a state of stability, synchronization with their breath, and overall organization. This electromagnetic field emanating from their hearts has a profound effect on our own, promoting coherence and balance within us.

Research suggests that spending time with horses fosters mindfulness and presence. Their calming influence can lead to a state of heightened physiological well-being and regeneration. In E., just being near these magnificent creatures can work wonders for our overall health.

Engaging in meditation alongside horses offers a serene and straightforward path to unlocking greater well-being and personal growth. Their majestic presence serves as a gentle guide on our journey toward inner peace and self-discovery.

Ellen

Reiki and meditation facilitator

Ellen took her first yoga classes at age 14. At that age, she wanted to become a vet. After that, she was a bit distracted for about 30 years by doing a master's in psychology and a doctorate in Information Systems at Harvard and MIT, and working for many years in the academic and consulting world. From 2005 on, she started to focus again on what life was really about and educated herself in healing techniques. In 2008, she left her academic career as an Associate Professor of Information Systems to dedicate herself to building a Retreat Center near Barcelona.

Accommodation

Country Home, Hostel

Beautiful traditional Catalan farmhouse over 150 years old, completely renovated. Located among vineyards in the Alt Penedés, in the municipality of Torrelles de Foix, a region famous for its Wines and Cavas. It is an inspiring, idyllic and quiet place where you can enjoy Yoga retreats, meditation groups and workshops or retire to rest, write or take a break from the day to day in the city. The calm and beauty of the vineyards that surround the house, make it a special place to disconnect.We are animal lovers and have a dog and several horses. We love all living beings and we love their energy. (Automatic translation)

What I liked

The team was very professional and attentive to our needs at all times. Thanks to Mir, a great yoga instructor who accompanied us for most of the days of the retreat, she is a 10! And Alex too, very friendly and kind at all times. A highly recommended experience! (Automatic translation)

Could be improved

Perhaps just the issue of arrivals and departures. As a recommendation, I would establish certain days of arrival so that the group becomes unified and creates a better harmony between the participants. Also, having families enjoying the same space and making noise in the common areas breaks a bit with the idea of the retreat. The language issue should also be made clearer and inform that the retreat is mostly for foreigners and in English. But these points are 100% constructive and have not made the experience any less wonderful! (Automatic translation)

What I liked

I was very pleased with the environment, the farmhouse was very nice and very quiet. (Automatic translation)

Could be improved

The quality-preu has not pleased me, tot molt car. The dishes also come in cars, since the brunch and the soup cost €20 and consist of a plate of pasta and cogombre at 3pm and an amanida amb truita de albergínia at the evening. Furthermore, to pay for complementary activities, they charge 20% more to pay for both cards, without notifying you. If you notify us, you won't have anything, because you will have to pay €15 more. I thought that this retreat is oriented towards foreigners with certain economic levels, since all the people speak English. The truth that I learned, I do not recommend :( (Automatic translation)

What I liked

I would've been great! Alex gives his all, Fabian gives great massages, and Helen has solved everything that wasn't going so well for us. (Automatic translation)

Could be improved

It's English speaking, everything and it's not specified. Yoga is kundalini, it is not specified, and Helen, despite arranging everything, tries to charge everything separately, at an excessive price, and despite having paid 1000e for the 2 friends, she has not accepted my friend to do therapy with the horses , because we had the normal program, I made them pay separately. Very ugly, the detail. When we were the ones who paid the most. Details are missing in the kitchen with fruits, etc... and the rooms are cold, and without heat. Otherwise it is fine. I hope Helen understands that there are things to improve, because it is 1000e, and you can go to a thousand places for this price 🙏 (Automatic translation)

Organiser Response

Thanks for your comment. We highly value the opinion of our clients. We strive to provide the best experience possible and appreciate your constructive criticism. We want to clarify some points: Languages in yoga classes: We offer classes in Spanish and, when there are mixed groups, in both languages. Program Fees: Each program has specific fees and additional activities require a supplement. Reservation details: Your €498 reservation included 2 nights and 3 days, with accommodation, meals and activities. We are sorry for any misunderstanding. Contact us to resolve any concerns. Thank you (Automatic translation)

What I liked

It was my very first retreat, and I couldn't be happier with my choice! Everything happens for a reason, and these past few days have significantly contributed to my personal development. Ellen, Alex, Pierluigi, and other beautiful human beings, along with all the animals there, created a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout my stay. Yoga, meditation, facilities, food, and everything else were exactly what I needed in this period of my life. The freedom to be there on my own or in the company of other people or animals was just beautiful. The opportunity to enjoy solitude or engage with others, both human and animal, was truly enriching. I feel a deep sense of gratitude and highly recommend spending at least a few days here – I am confident you'll discover what you're seeking! (Automatic translation)
