Spirituality, Connection & Transformation
La Gomera offers extraordinary opportunities to slow down, reconnect and experience the island on a deeper level.
The Soul side of your retreat is about creating space for reflection, spiritual connection, intuition and transformation — through the landscape, through carefully chosen experiences, and through practices that allow you to step away from everyday noise and listen more deeply.
Mountain Mindfulness
Take your mindfulness practice out of the studio and into the mountains.
Mountain Mindfulness is an opportunity to experience La Gomera’s dramatic volcanic landscape slowly and consciously, using the mountains, silence, movement and changing perspectives as the setting for guided mindfulness and reflection.
Rather than simply looking at the landscape, you are invited to become fully present within it — noticing the sounds, textures, scents, light and changing atmosphere around you.
The Chorros de Epina
Visit the remarkable Chorros de Epina, one of La Gomera’s most evocative traditional water sites.
Here, the natural springs, surrounding landscape and old island traditions create a particularly atmospheric setting for quiet reflection and connection. The experience can be approached simply as a mindful journey into a beautiful and culturally significant place, or explored more deeply through the folklore and spiritual traditions associated with Epina.
Garajonay Forest Bathing
Enter the ancient laurel forest of Garajonay for a slower, more sensory experience of the island.
Forest bathing is not about covering kilometres or reaching a destination. It is about allowing the forest to change the pace of your attention — walking slowly, pausing, noticing and becoming immersed in the extraordinary atmosphere of the Laurisilva.
The mist, moss-covered trees, filtered light and deep silence of the forest make this one of the island’s most powerful settings for contemplation and reconnection.
Bespoke Soul Journeys
Not every Soul experience needs to follow a set route.
If there is somewhere on La Gomera that particularly calls to you, we can create a bespoke Soul journey around it — whether that means a quiet mountain location, a remote coastline, an ancient landscape, a place connected with the island’s traditions, or simply somewhere where you feel drawn to spend time.
The island gives us an enormous natural canvas from which to create something personal.
Ceremonies & Guided Visualisation
Depending on what is taking place on La Gomera during your stay, you may also have the opportunity to join a Cali-led ceremony or guided visualisation session.
These are offered when appropriate sessions are already occurring during your time on the island, rather than being presented as a fixed programme. They can provide another way of exploring intention, transition, inner imagery and connection within the retreat experience.
Your Soul Experience
There is no single definition of spirituality and no particular belief system you need to follow.
Your Soul experience might be quiet and contemplative, deeply sensory, connected to the island’s traditions, or more consciously transformational.
It might be a morning in the mountains, standing beside the springs at Epina, walking slowly through the Garajonay forest, joining a ceremony, experiencing a guided visualisation, or following an entirely bespoke journey somewhere else on the island.
The landscape is the setting. Your experience is your own.
