Embodied Self-Leadership Retreat
From resistance to flow - a transformative experience for those ready to rise
Retreat with Lali Devi & Ariela Faxe
Following a magical first journey, we now invite you to the second edition of our exclusive retreat in the Andalusian mountains, held in a small and intimate group. We return once again to our carefully selected oasis - a charming olive farm where the silence can truly be heard - creating space for deep self-insight and for transforming your limitations into your greatest strength.
Do you sense that something greater wants to emerge, yet old patterns continue to hold you back? Many have “worked on themselves” for years, but notice that intellectual understanding does not always reach the body or translate into lived experience. This creates a gap between what we know and how we actually live.
This retreat is for those who are no longer trying to be “fixed.” You are ready to remember who you are, to lead yourself, and to express your full potential. We work with inner alchemy - the art of transforming life’s challenges into wisdom and unique gifts.
This retreat is especially suited for those interested in personal development, leadership, or a conscious way of living, and who feel it is time to integrate their insights more deeply into everyday life.
Throughout the retreat, you are invited to land in a sense of wholeness, where awareness meets the intelligence of the body, and your inner forces find their natural balance. Alongside transformative sessions in voice healing, energy design, and meditation, we share long meals under the open sky, hike through breathtaking landscapes, and enjoy the simplicity and beauty of life in one of Spain’s most stunning mountain villages.
This is an experience for those who want to live more truthfully, openly, and in resonance with their own essence.
Methodology: A synthesis of awareness, body, and intuition
For change to be lasting, intellectual understanding alone is not enough - the journey must also move into the body. Our program combines individual guidance with transformative practices to create a real shift in your life.
From limitations to gifts
You will be introduced to how your unique energy design can reveal the keys to unlocking your greatest gifts and help you live with more power and flow. As you become aware of your design, you stop working against yourself and begin to move in alignment with your full potential.
Reclaim your expression
Through voice and sound-based therapeutic techniques, you will meet and release stored emotions that have prevented your energy from flowing freely. This is a joyful and powerful practice that supports you in stepping forward and reclaiming the power of your authentic expression.
From noise to inner guidance
The rhythm of the drum (4–7 Hz) guides your brain from stress into deep relaxation and expanded awareness. In this state, you move beyond the analytical mind and access your intuition and primal force. Here, you connect with your inner guidance - a place you can return to whenever you need clarity and insight.
Balance & integration
Through deep tantric energy practices, we explore how polarising energies within can meet and come into balance. The experiences and insights from the retreat are further integrated through meditation, where you may work with a mantra aligned with your energy design.
This is included in your experience:
-
Nervous system regulation: Daily morning sessions with voice and movement practices, along with deep evening meditations.
-
Transformative workshops: Introduction to energy mapping and core wound patterns, with keys to move beyond them. We also work with powerful tantric methods to support inner balance.
-
Shamanic journeys: Techniques to shift brainwave states and access deeper insight and new perspectives beyond the analytical mind.
-
Inner balance: Through powerful tantric energy practices, we explore how different energies within can be balanced and integrated in the body.
-
Nature immersion: Hikes in the Andalusian landscape, cultivating a refined capacity to listen.
-
Integration ceremony: A powerful ritual designed to anchor your insights and elevated state into your whole being.
-
Gastronomy & accommodation: Six days at an authentic Spanish olive farm with a pool. Organic full board with wholesome buffet options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Delicious desserts included most dinners.
After the retreat, you will have gained powerful tools that you can continue to use in your everyday life.
Please note that the retreat is designed to be valuable both for those new to yogic or shamanic practices and for those with prior experience. No previous experience in meditation or voice work is required.
