The Ashtanga Retreat

April 10th - April 14th 2025
Fuerteventura, Canary Islands

Join us at the bottom of the Calderon Hondo volcano, in Lajares ―Fuerteventura, on the island of the wind with its earthy colors, desert sands and expansive ocean. Deepen your practice and understanding of Ashtanga Yoga as a whole, allowing its subtleties to unfold.

Traditionally taught in the Mysore style, being the most impactful approach in learning and understanding the practice, the Ashtanga Yoga method is a living tradition with the relationship between teacher and student at the epicenter of its transmission. At the root, it is a spiritual practice that purifies the heart.body.mind, illuminating one’s own divine nature.

During the retreat, we will navigate through each of the frequencies of practice, as it moves us towards self-compassion & self-reliance. Whether exploring Asana or Pranayama, we will work from a non-dogmatic and inclusive place, open for personal inquiry, for all levels of experience.

This is an invitation to retreat with Gibran Gonzalez, in hopes to return to the wisdom of our bodies, follow the pathways of our breaths and expand the generosity of our hearts. We hope you will use your intuition to know when to break away, to act, to explore so we can, together, deepen our practices from a place of curiosity, deep listening and compassion.

Stoned Immaculate
A Retreat into Wonder

April 29th - May 4th 2025
Hossegor, France

This retreat invites you to realize the profound perfection of reality —an immaculate awareness untouched by life’s fleeting storms. Rather this awareness nourishes and is vitalized by the dance of life’s patterns.

Like the sky remains unscarred by clouds and tempests, like the ocean remains unharmed by the largest of waves, our essential nature —pure awareness— stands steadfast amid both pain and pleasure. And yet we learn to attune to life’s rhythms in order to sharpen our awareness and harmonize our sensations. When this practice becomes clear, we enter a state of mysterious freedom, where fear dissolves and the pull of ‘what’s next’ vanishes.

This is Stoned Immaculate: an exploration of awe, purity, and the realization that you are the vast sky itself, the deep ocean itself. Join & for six days of asana, meditation, pranayama, workshops, surfing, wellness treatments, sauna sessions, walks in the forest, grounding and exploring.

The Early Bird offer is only valid until February 5th, 2025.

To a soft landing into 2025.
I hope you will no longer be afraid to let the stories happen to you anymore, because it is a life worth living, worth creating.
I hope you will begin to understand that your heart is enough and believe that you are deserving of love.
I hope you will know when to retreat, when to rest. I hope you can quiet the noise.
I hope you will surrender to the beauty of everyday life, even in the presence of sorrow & disenchantment.
I hope you will open your heart to something hopeful. I wish you a kind new year.

When we wake up to the beauty of our nature it allows us to see that we are one with all of life. This oneness is experienced at the center, the heart. Unlike the brain with its two hemispheres, the heart is one singular organ. And the spiritually heart is the place of non duality or oneness.

When we recognise our oneness with all of life, naturally we allow ourselves the same love and reverence that we offer, the beauty of this existence. In loving ourselves, we learn to take care of ourselves, naturally relieving ourselves of a feeling of separation, shame and self-condemnation.

Healing and choosing the actions that allow for our spirit to flourish. And taking care of ourselves means that we learn to take care of nature, of one another. When there is no more separation, love is the natural outpouring in all directions, what we call inner and outer.

In the heart of the jungle retreat, we will have the chance to recognise this pulse of Life and Love (ādaraya meaning love in singhalese), which surrounds and is found at the depth of our hearts. Journey with in Ahangama, Sri Lanka from Monday the 3rd to Sunday the 9th of March 2025 to explore liberation practices for the heart, in all forms (and formlessnesses).

‘Cora Camino is my heart offering of earth based healing, tending to the root of woman, the sacred womb space, the feminine form that so intrinsically mirrors that of Pachamama. Integrating all the blessings and lessons I have encountered thus far on my own beautiful and challenging Earth dance, Cora Camino could be more literally translated to Heart Path or Way to the Centre.
Our body talks in many languages. The emotional, physical and subtle bodies attempt to communicate and harmonise, wanting to speak to us, through us and we can consciously or unconsciously choose to listen or ignore the poetry..’

Two years ago, we gathered 30 practitioners in the hills of Portugal. What began as a dream grew into a seed, took root and eventually blossomed into a collective, a community, a movement designed to transcend traditional wellness retreats.

Since then, we have been on a magical journey of transformation, evolution and connection. Together, we have created a space where we could hang and rest our hearts, explore our voices, devote ourselves to practice, and cultivate reverence for the Self, the Source —a place where boundaries, separation and differences dissolved.

This magic continues to evolve, nurtured through time, space and hearts; always connecting us back to that singular moment when we dared to dream.

We want to express our infinite love to the very first teacher who trusted us. She made us become a collective. She shaped our future.

Ethos / acts of heart, voices of consciousness, an ancient question, a soulful riddle, all the cycles of loving, all the layers of life, a reverie, a space of repose, a heartfelt kinship one requires.

Retreats Collective is a community that creates unique immersive retreats with a purpose. In every corner of this world, large or small, you will find your kith and kin, a community that follows rituals for self-reflection, connection and healing day in, day out.

Our core philosophy is expressed through three principles, coloring all of our retreats: Kula (community, tribe) — Sādhana (conscious daily spiritual practice, rituals) — Moksha (liberation from all forms of suffering).

Spicy curries and flavourful Kottu Roti,
sweet burning incense and fruity tropical air
bubbling together in a heady mix.
deep ocean blues,
and lush tea greens,
silky bright pink Sari
and rainbow tuk tuk.
waves crashing on the shore,
the clacking of train carriages
a breeze through the dense jungle,
and a Buddhist prayer.

Lifting the veil for a more real world, a collective dream.

Letting the body have healing as its purpose.

The invocations and benedictions of the Earth.

Memories and whispers of women exploring, experimenting, dancing, singing, praying, gathering, laughing together.

Being woman and nature.
She is what she is and she is whole.

She walks back, walks forward, circles, pauses, hides, seeks and retreats. /

And that’s what a miracle is: a parting of the mists, a shift in perception, a return to love.

Love is what we were born with. Fear is what we have learned here. The spiritual journey is the relin-quishment-or unlearning—of fear and the acceptance of love back into our hearts. Love is the essential existential fact. It is our ultimate reality and our purpose on earth. To be consciously aware of it, to experience love in ourselves and others, is the meaning of life.

Beauty is a feeling rather than a fact..
It’s a judgement one comes to based upon their current mood at any given time.
That is why beauty can be felt in one moment, yet not in the next regardless of changes in physical appearance.
The only way to capture the elusive ‘feeling’ of beauty is to beautify the mind.

The leaf lets go
Surrendering to the air
A blessed time for the fair fairies who take delight
In cushioning the dying leaf’s fragile flight
Can gather themselves
one by one caressing the floating see-through sheet
delivering precious goods
departed leaves to be left alone arriving after a fall
All the woodland celebrates
the arrival of one who has left
who now rests his weariness against the cool forest floor
Allowing time to dissolve all past boundaries of form
Can gather together
In the secret place where universes weave through his body of fertile soil
to be reborn
Like all who die and leave behind discover the new as more

We believe in the healing power of nature, as mirror, healer & teacher. As women in the world, we recognise the essential need to reintegrate and nourish our modern lives with ancient wisdom, rituals and roots of healing.

We will immerse ourselves in the mysteries of the feminine, the cycles of the earth, of the sun, the moon, the flow of rivers, the jungle, its trees, plants and flowers, life by the Koggala lake… Welcoming commune with our innate nature, vulnerability and joy.

We hope you will use your heart’s intuition to know when to break away, to act, to dig deeper and to retreat. And there we will be, awaiting for you to meet us in Sri Lanka from Sunday the 26th of January to Saturday the 1st of February, 2025.

The Natura Retreat, women & medicine is now available for booking. The Early Bird offer is only valid until October 15th, 2024. More info on our website or via the link in bio. Bookings & questions via [email protected]
