Are you ready?
Leave behind the hustle and embrace the relaxed rhythms of Spanish living.
Imagine spending dedicated time for you in a charming rustic Spanish villa by the Mediterranean coast, surrounded by fresh sea breezes, beautiful views, and like-minded souls.
This retreat is your opportunity to step away from the noise and busyness of everyday life and into a space created for you to reconnect, reflect and recharge.
Over three restorative evenings and two full, enriching days, you’ll enjoy a carefully crafted blend of personal growth, relaxation, and cultural immersion.
Through powerful and transformative NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), Hypnotherapy and Time Line Therapy® workshops with Deep Transformation Expert Jo, additional fun immersive experiences, and home-cooked, locally sourced nourishing meals, you’ll release what no longer serves you, connect with your vision for the future, and step into your next chapter with ease and flow.
With the villa's cosy and inviting atmosphere as your base, every moment is designed to nourish your mind, body, and soul.
Whether you’re exploring inner growth in the NLP and personal development sessions, sharing heartfelt moments with others under the stars or experiencing a Spanish cooking fiesta with Chefs Tim and Lin, this retreat will leave you feeling clear, inspired, and ready to embrace your future with a calm, aligned confidence.
Imagine yourself under a starlit sky, the outline of Africa visible on the horizon. In this calm and serene setting, you’ll feel the weight of the past begin to lift. Through transformational workshops and quiet moments of reflection, you’ll release what no longer serves you, creating space for renewed energy, clarity, and growth.
Workshops with NLP and Transformational Coach Trainer, Jo, at the retreat are designed to equip you with practical tools to align your life and work with ease. Whether you're a coach, a leader, or a change-maker, you’ll discover strategies to create success without burnout.
Connection is at the heart of this retreat. Laugh over tapas, share under the stars, and form meaningful bonds with like-minded women who inspire and uplift. Add in delicious home-cooked meals and plenty of moments to recharge, and you have the recipe for a soul-nourishing experience. (Picture from a previous retreat)

'I discovered NLP over thirty years ago when I was looking for ways to improve my confidence. I fell in love with NLP after the amazing personal results I achieved. In 2009, I trained to become an NLP Practitioner and Master Practitioner, and then in 2012, I studied to become a Trainer's trainer so I could train others to become NLP Practitioners themselves. NLP little is infused in everything I do in my life and business.
I learned NLP in an immersive and retreat environment and knew that this was how I wanted to run my courses too. If you have tried to learn NLP from self-study courses or books, you may have struggled and missed out on the magic of NLP as NLP is all about interacting with people!
We usually run small, intimate courses in beautiful locations so that you don't get lost in the crowd, get lots of personal support and can learn in a relaxed and fun environment.'
