Anna Scheer
Embodied practice in a garden sanctuary
In the subtropical gardens of Kulturpark Mariposa, women gather for retreats centered on embodiment, self-care and connection. Hosts Anna and Céline, both certified practitioners, guide a mix of breathwork, yoga, personal rituals and time outdoors, with space for conversation in a sharing circle. The emphasis is on getting to know the body and making room for pleasure and a more fulfilled life, rather than following a named meditation tradition. The cultural park’s 25,000-square-metre grounds, tropical planting and broad Atlantic views give the retreat a distinct sense of place, while individually designed houses and comfortable yurts provide a choice of lodging. Homemade meals are prepared by chef Raquel, with vegan, vegetarian, organic and dairy-free options listed. A pool, free Wi-Fi and parking add practical comforts. Retreats are paid, with prices starting at EUR 1,299; check with the host for current dates and inclusions.
