I recently had the incredible opportunity to embark on a 10-day retreat in August 2023 with Mary that I can only describe as pure magic. The retreat set in the heart of the Mediterranean, was nothing short of a life-changing experience. From the moment I arrived in Barcelona, I knew I was in for something special. The retreat organizers had carefully curated every aspect of our journey, ensuring that we would not only explore the breathtaking beauty of Spain but also enrich our souls and create lasting memories. The luxurious accommodations in both Barcelona and Menorca set the tone for the entire trip. Waking up to the stunning Mediterranean views and enjoying delicious breakfasts each day made every morning feel like a dream. It was the perfect way to start our adventure-filled days. Speaking of adventure, there was certainly no shortage of it on this retreat. From stand-up paddleboarding in crystal clear waters to exploring the charming cobbled-stone lanes of Menorca's villages, every day was a new and exhilarating experience. I can still feel the thrill of the cliffside paddle and the giant SUP paddle adventures in Menorca. These moments allowed us to truly connect with the natural wonders. The cultural experiences were another highlight of the trip. From a mesmerizing Flamenco performance in Barcelona to visits to iconic landmarks like the Sagrada Familia and Parc Guell, I felt like I was living in a postcard. And the cooking lessons and painting workshop on Menorca added a creative touch that I'll always cherish. This retreat was a journey of a lifetime, offering a perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and cultural immersion. It's an experience I'll forever hold close to my heart, and I'm grateful to have shared it with kindred spirits from around the world. If you're looking for a retreat that will awaken your senses, nurture your soul, and introduce you to the magic of Spain, I wholeheartedly recommend this unforgettable adventure. It truly was an enchanting and transformative experience.
