Details
Come away to the beautiful coastal town of Albir in Spain for three spacious days of insight, connection and joyful exploration. VIVA is a wellbeing retreat rooted in the Three Principles of Mind, Consciousness and Thought. You do not need any previous knowledge of the Principles. The retreat is an invitation to step out of the noise of everyday life, slow down and reconnect with the calm, clarity and resilience already within you. Across the three days, you will experience inspiring keynotes and smaller breakout sessions led by a number of seasoned Three Principles practitioners. There is also optional morning yoga, playful presence-in-action experiences, meaningful conversation and generous time to rest and reflect. Long midday breaks create space to walk by the sea, sit in a café, journal, nap or simply allow what you have heard to settle. VIVA is warm, lively and deeply human. There is laughter, celebration, new friendship and a sense of shared discovery, alongside quieter moments of reflection. A diverse group of experienced international teachers brings warmth, wisdom and different perspectives to one simple exploration: what becomes possible when we recognise the wellbeing and inner guidance already within us? Held at the Albir Playa Hotel, within walking distance of the beach, promenade, cafés, restaurants and shops, VIVA combines the nourishment of a retreat with the aliveness of a joyful community gathering. The intention is that you leave feeling refreshed, more connected to yourself and others, and with a deeper trust in your own clarity, resilience and capacity for life. Most people attending come alone and either reconnect with friends and/or make lots of new friends.
