Make room for a new perspective
Five days in a small group give this Gran Canaria retreat a focused, hands-on approach to personal development. The work is framed around noticing what holds you back, strengthening self-esteem and finding practical ways to interpret situations differently. Rather than promising a quick fix, the retreat aims to help participants feel more aware of their potential and more active in shaping their lives. The island is part of the experience: volcanic coastline, open dunes and quiet ravines offer a striking counterpoint to the group work. The retreat is led by Elena and the Experience Team, with meals prepared by an external kitchen. Dietary options include vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free and nut-free meals when arranged in advance. The house has a kitchen, café, coffee and tea, free Wi-Fi and housekeeping. Prices start at €900 for the paid retreat; confirm what accommodation and meals are included before booking.
