Josephine holds the space beautifully - The whole experience was so considered and wonderful from beginning to end, it completley surpassed my expectations.
Josephine genuinely cares about the retreat and brings this energy to everything she does.
I can honestly say I felt so well looked after it was a real treat to just lean into it and relax. I needed a reset, a reminder to connect with myself and realign with my values and this retreat provided that opportunity in abundance.
The yoga, meditations and sound baths are conducted so beautifully and expertly by Josephine and her deep knowledge of the subject helps to guide the group and makes the space completely safe while gently encouraging connection to self and the other attendees.
If you’re looking for some time out of the hustle, some deep connection to self and others in a nurturing and beautiful environment this is the retreat for you. I’ve made some connections here that will last well beyond the retreat, but mostly I’ve had the precious time to go inwards and connect with myself.
The location villa, pool, sunsets, outings and nutritious delicious food all combine to make the overall experience truly wonderful.
I’ll be making this a yearly retreat, because once you’ve found gold, there’s no point looking elsewhere.

MOVEMENT
Josephine will guide you each morning and evening, outside surrounded by the olive trees, blue sky, sea view and bird song.
She builds each class to support the full journey of the retreat. From a full and beautiful range of invigorating, soft, gentle, calm and wonderful movement. So you find yourself deeply connected to your body. Noticing sensations, feelings, emotions, patterns of behaviour and how to find the strength, love, care and compassion for yourself once again.
Using the Chakra system, the 8 limbs of yoga and taking all levels and contraindications into consideration. You will find a deep connection with yourself, rebalancing the whole system and find profound inner calm and peace.
+ Morning Yoga or Somatic enquiry
+ Meditation & Pranayama
+ Evening Yin, Restorative Yoga
+ Yoga Nidra, deep relaxation
Josephine’s classes are special because she is a real teacher (as opposed an instructor). Not only is she notably clear in the physical details she outlines and demonstrates (in ways that speak to people’s different levels of yoga experience) but she also draws attention to yoga’s inner awareness, opening up something of yoga’s deeper, spiritual sensitivities. This is special.

SOUND
Ancient cultures, from Egypt to Tibetan employed voice and sound instruments to impact people’s bodies and minds in a healing fashion.
The overarching goal of sound therapy, sound healing, and sound bathing, is to use audible vibrations expressed as sound(gongs, bowls, drums etc) coupled with the practitioner’s as well as recipients’ intention, to assist the body in returning to a place of balance, ease and harmony.
Sound has long been associated with alleviating emotional, physical, and mental discord.
Josephine has working with sound and music since she was 5 years old. Drawing on her intuitive abilities to heal and sense energy, she will guide you as an individual or a group to a deep place of rest, peace and harmony.
+ Private 1-2-1 Sound healing
+ Soundbaths in nature
+ Group Soundbaths
+ Sound woven through each practice and ceremony
