About
This retreat is a soft doorway into the world of Sufism, a path of the heart rooted in love, remembrance and connection. Whether you’re new to Sufi teachings or simply longing to reconnect with something deeper, this weekend offers an intimate space to slow down, listen within and rediscover what truly matters.
You’ll explore presence through guided meditations, sacred music, storytelling, journaling, shared meals and intentional silence. You don’t need any prior experience, just curiosity, openness and a longing to return to yourself.
This is not a religious retreat, it’s a return to something timeless, tender and universally human.
Theme
The heart already knows. This retreat is about clearing space to hear its whisper.
Through simple yet profound practices, quiet reflection, group connection, remembrance, movement and creativity, you’ll be invited to explore what it means to live with softness, intention and sincerity.
Stay
Our retreat will take place at a peaceful countryside estate just outside Barcelona, surrounded by gardens, trees and soft light, a setting designed to invite calm, depth and reflection.
Shared accommodations include comfortable single beds in 2–4 person rooms or a communal bunk room. Full room details will be provided after booking.
The Calling
If your soul is tired of noise…
If you’ve been seeking without knowing what for…
If you long to feel stillness, beauty and community…
Then this retreat is calling you home.
No experience with Sufism or spiritual practices is needed, just an open heart and a willingness to explore.
Come as you are. Leave as more of who you truly are.
