Our magical island retreat base 🌴
Owned by the same family for more than 50 years, Can Almaria has been lovingly restored with blissful outside space and gardens. Situated in the heart of Ibiza, it’s 5 minutes from the village of San Rafael, with south facing views and includes two swimming pools, flood-lit tennis court, a yoga deck and yurt.
The villa is a modern yet traditionally constructed home in a cosy rural setting. It’s luxurious and spacious, and hidden from view, enclosed by tall cypress trees and surrounded by sloping verdant grounds, which include a field and a fruit orchard.
The interior space is simple yet sophisticated with stucco walls and exposed driftwood ceiling beams, boasting large bedrooms and cozy living spaces.
The exterior invites traditional outdoor Mediterranean living with a large veranda and dining terrace, pool and state of the art gardens. The yoga deck overlooks the campo and is perfect for breathing in the wild flowers and fresh salty island air.

“The highest frequency always wins. That’s a law. The highest frequency is more powerful than the lower frequency. A thought that emerges from fear, worry, control, domination, manipulation has less power than a thought that’s emerging from a field of love”.

Now this little one has arrived I am super excited to get back to my rituals. For the last 10 years I’ve practised Yoga at home every morning with the occasional class. Post-birth my body is crying out for Yoga.
“A ritual is the enactment of a myth. And, by participating in the ritual, you are participating in the myth. And since myth is a projection of the depth wisdom of the psyche, by participating in a ritual, participating in the myth, you are being, as it were, put in accord with that wisdom, which is the wisdom that is inherent within you anyhow. Your consciousness is being re-minded of the wisdom of your own life”. Joseph Campbell 🙏🏼

✨Earth angel Suzanne Faith will be teaching on the Mid-Autumn Retreat October 27th - November 7th ✨
✨When I arrived in Ibiza 3 years ago Suzanne’s was the first yoga class I attended at Open Space and I thought ‘hallelujah I’ve found the best yoga teacher on the planet’✨
✨Suzanne’s beautiful caring nature, her deep wisdom, intuitive adjustments, story telling and sweet mellifluous voice were just some of the things that drew me to her✨
✨2 years on and our collaboration is still going strong with guests flying from as far as Canada to practice with Suzanne✨
PM me for further info on the Mid-Autumn Retreat.

I’m in full bloom now ready for the arrival of our little lady. I went to see my healer last Spring for one of her incredible acupuncture sessions. She mentioned she was putting on retreat working with the African Wood (Iboga.) Matt & I had read about this plant medicine and we signed up. I had a dreamy first night seeing black & white photos of my family going back to my grand-parents and moving image of the Belfast of old - kids playing football in the streets and army men on patrol. I felt a deep sense of love and connection to my Irish roots. Night two was less gentle - the medicine took hold of me fiercely. I can only describe the experience as like being in labour. I fought it for hours trying to regain control. My body was vibrating deeply and it literally shook everything out of me - negative emotions and memories. It was probably the most scary experience of my adult life. And then I got bored of fighting it and decided to give up, surrender and try to get some sleep. I remember saying out loud to myself “f**k this I’m going to sleep”. As soon as I surrendered it stopped and let go of me. And I was in a state of deep peace, the lesson of surrendering lodged deep in my cells.
A week later I was pregnant. I read about a tribe in Africa who sing mantras into their wombs as they are conceiving. These mantras are then played when the child is born and at every birthday. This is what I did. I played all the beautiful mantras that have so inspired me over the years. I had a deep knowing that it was a baby girl I was carrying. The first half of my pregnancy was difficult and powerful - it felt like the doubling up of female hormones was more than I could deal with at times. The second half has been wonderful, deep, joyous. Now we’re in the final weeks and I’m pondering on the fact that I may not ever be pregnant again and what a true gift it is, a gift of learning, growth and nurture. I can’t wait to meet this powerful little soul who came after the deepest healing of my life and was sang in with mantras and love and has taken me through every physical, mental and emotional state imaginable. My girl 💕

Regram from Lauren Lee - our wonderful guest teacher from Bali for the Falling Leaves Retreat (September 29th - October 5th)
“And just like that
I see myself as the woman of my dreams
Soulful, wild, enchanting, nurturing and intentional
With clarity that calls in the deepest freedom of the heart
And innate wisdom that honors intuition as my greatest force
The eternal play of my feminine, letting go of self limiting beliefs and boldly stepping through new gateways
Rites of passage that are moving me to the next phase
Subtle openings, pulsing vitality through my veins
With just the right amount of effort
And the right amount of softening
Fueled by surrender and faith
Enhanced by connection and creativity
Held by deep truth and unconditional love
A slow unveiling, quietly stripping away what’s ready to be liberated
More ready than ever
My inner Goddess is rising from new ashes
With a heart that’s set on fu***ng fire” 🔥🔥🔥

The Summer Shine Retreat with Anna McColl - May 26th - June 1st ❤️
I met Anna years ago when she worked in my local yoga centre in Kensal Rise. We re-connected when I moved to Ibiza. I’m very excited to be collaborating with this beautiful grounded soul on this retreat. She teaches a strong yet slow flow guiding students to discover their own natural alignment in poses. And when we’re not doing yoga we’ll be lounging poolside and occasionally doing a hike (for those who can be bothered to get up!) Please PM me for pricing and further info.
