some of the hardest chalenges and choices we face in life are around relationships; there's the relationship you have with the image of yourself, how you think you should be; and, the relationship you have with your partner, mother, children, and how you feel they should be, and the relationship you have with the roles you play daughter, wife, friend, everything can be seen and recognised to be the induvidual "i"space coming together with another "i" space to create a "we" space; Both "ii" can choose to be in service to the "we" space or use it as a dumping ground for unresolved past issues:

  begin to move, speak and act in the kindness and care inherent in you; Firstly you have to shift from the ME centered version of trying to be kind, trying to be loving, trying to say or do the right thing into a more radical wider way of relating; If you are willing to surrender, to meet what is present without the agitated mind filled with ideas, ideals and judgment, a revelation of inherent peace is natural. 

A relationship then becomes a cocoon for transformation

a sacred catalyst to inner peace, wisdom, acceptance

contentment, and true respect: 

  Retreat Practicals 

Michael and I invite you to arrive in Guaro village around 16.00 on the start date of the retreat, this falls in line with the bus from Marbella and gives you time to settle in, swim, rest and relax: No collections after 16.30, so if you stand outside this framework please contact us, as you may need to stay in Marbella and travel up on the first bus, or arrive the day before :

Michael collects everyone at this time and drives the short distance to Red Earth ( no charge)Or you can arrive at Red Earth on foot it's a beautiful walk and after your day of travelling offers time to pause and reflect

We apologize in advance for not being able to give you an address, the Sanctuary is off-road and difficult to find:

           Nearer the time I email out practicals with our contact number: we are only contactable by phone from 16.00 on the day of the retreat, not before: So if you wish to contact us please email on spain5rhythms.com

Red Earth is a "selfie free zone" so please for your privacy and that of others no photos to be taken in or around the sanctuary: thank you:

Please make a ritual of turning off your mobile phone before you enter Red Earth, it is a way of valuing yourself and honouring your time here: For this reason we request you give our contact number and email address to your nearest and dearest before you leave home, so in the unlikely event of an emergency you can be contacted through us day or night:

 The retreat finishes at 14.00 on the date given. 

 Book your return flight early evening around 19.00, this gives plenty of time to return to the airport by bus: If your flight is earlier a Taxi is the other option, takes 40 mins and cost 45 Euros: works out cheaper when shared. 

Michael organizes this for you when you are here~
