Why Join Us?

This retreat is about balance and simplicity. The balance between stillness and movement, gratitude and growth, adventure and deep rest. Whether you're looking to reset, recharge or simply live with more presence, this experience will leave you feeling wildly free and deeply grounded in gratitude.

At the heart of our week together are five core pillars that will gently weave through each day:

GRATITUDE
A reminder of everything we already have, and the power of pausing to truly feel thankful for it.

PRESENCE
Returning to the now. Letting go of the past and future, and landing fully in the only moment we really have.

GROUNDING
Using movement, breath and stillness to shift out of the mind and into the body, supported by the calming energy of nature all around us.

ACCEPTANCE
Meeting each moment with compassion, surrendering control, and allowing everything to be as it is.

BALANCE
Tuning into the dance between effort and ease, doing and being, lightness and depth, structure and flow.

Sometimes we don’t need to do more. We simply need to explore our relationship with the present moment, reconnect with what we already have, and remember who we really are beneath the noise and distraction of everyday life.

Join us in paradise for a week of self-discovery, connection and joy, where jungle meets ocean, and gratitude meets adventure.

Our Jungle villa

Take a deeper look at our beautifully stylish luxury villa, nestled in the heart of nature and surrounded by trees and wildlife. This will be our home for the week, a peaceful sanctuary just a 10-minute tuk tuk ride from the buzz of Hiriketiya Bay. So whether you’re craving stillness and solitude or a little more liveliness, it’s all right on your doorstep.

Testimonials

"The retreat supported me to find stillness within, process sadness and grief, reconnect to joy, feel more present, find clarity in my mind and awaken my soul to what it is truly calling for. TGR Ibiza was a reflection of Erin's life work, her dharma, and the whole experience was led with heart. Thank you, thank you, thank you."
