This was my second retreat at Flores and a truly magical experience. Art workshops, studying ancient patterns and petroglyphs and dolmens, collecting and painting with pigments from the earth-the Journey into winter retreat focussed on contemplation and reflection and connections with ancestral paths. The cozy comfortable stay and amazing food added to the beautiful experience and my fellow participants were a lovely group, felt like old friends. Thanks to Basia and Bertrand and Clarissa for curating and hosting this retreat, which has made me feel renewed!

A deeply moving, educational and fun retreat. Outstanding in every way as Basia and Bertrand were the most capable, kind, caring, inventive and personable hosts. I recommend this retreat for everyone.

This was my second time experiencing a retreat at Flores. Everyone and everything was wonderful once again. We were treated with the most loving hospitality and provisions. Room accommodations are great, food was excellent and everything was way above average! But most of all the loving environment felt like a warm hug.

The Easter Retreat 2024 at Flores del Camino expanded my perception of the meaning behind the Catholic Easter Mass. Participating as one unfamiliar with the Mass it had a deep affect; those with a background in the ritual spoke of a profound return to the best of what they loved in their early Catholicism. The week was very thoughtfully arranged to be reflective and what I would call "healing". Highly recommended for people of any background who want a deeper understanding of the subtleties between the religious and the sacred, and how what is above can be an experience below.

The Easter retreat was a beautiful experience from start to finish. The accommodation was warm , comfortable and welcoming and the food plentiful and delicious. The retreat was reflective, spiritual and thought provoking and has left a very deep and lasting impression. Alexander, Basia and Bertrand are a wonderfully gifted team and Flores del Camino is a hidden gem.
