The journey of the radical embrace and graceful letting go.
March 12-16, 2025
1 ROOM LEFT!
In the picturesque Andalusia countryside, we retreat again at our house on the hill, overlooking the lake and the mountains - to practice the great teaching of the radical embrace, drawing the transformative power
that comes from understanding our patterns as creative adaptations to life's circumstances. By practicing compassion & acceptance, you'll be taking a step closer to recognizing your innate authentic freedom while
letting go of what is not your truth anymore.
The retreat, Vinyasa Yoga, Meditation, Kirtan, Experiental Gestalt Workshops
March 12-16, 2025
5 days, 4 nights
Andalusia, Spain
Josipa Mihic - Gestalt psychotherapist, Mindfulness & Compassion-focused therapy
The meaning of the word radical comes from the Latin word radix, which means root. To radically embrace is to get to the root of things, to that which is hidden from view. By accepting and recognizing our worldly pursuits and
transcendental divinity, we can get closer to our true nature - and know that they are not separate from the whole.
During this retreat, we will practice the tantric teachings of the radical embrace through soulful Yoga classes, meditation, and Kirtan, uncover limiting patterns for authentic living, and cultivate freedom in authenticity
through Gestalt and contemplative psychotherapy experiential workshops.
What to expect in these 5 days?
You can expect a soulful Vinyasa practice - rich, intelligent asana sequencing with a focus on proper alignment of your body, wrapped in fluid movement and creative flow,
inspired by Yogic philosophy and storytelling intertwined with the theme. In the afternoon we will dive into the regenerative, gentle lunar and restorative flows. It will be an
open invitation to turn inwards, tap into the stillness, calmness and mystery.
All classes include chanting the devotional songs and mantras, embracing the power of the Bhakti Yoga that cracks the hearts open.
During the retreat you will attend two Gestalt and contemplative psychotherapy experiential workshops with Josipa. The two workshops will be held at the beginning and the end of the retreat,
supporting the retreat theme and serving to integrate your experience.
Part 1: Uncovering Limiting Patterns for Authentic Living
Part 2: Freedom in Authenticity: Living True to Yourself
The stupa [Buddhist monument] symbolizes the body, speech, and mind of Buddha and of all enlightened beings, as well as
universal peace.
During our retreat, we will visit the first Buddhist Kalachakra stupa built in the Western hemisphere! The Kalachakra is the rarest type of stupa -at the present time, there are
only five Kalachakra stupas in the world.
We'll take a mindful long walk to the stupa, and hopefully join the guided meditation in the temple if it will be available! Or outside :)
Our home for the retreat is located in the picturesque village in Andalusia, close to Malaga, but hidden in the mountains, overlooking a beautiful lake. We have an outdoor pool,
and a gorgeous Yoga Shala for meditation and yoga classes. All rooms are en-suite, and you can choose between twin, double and single room options. You can bring a friend and we
will make sure that you share the room. Airfare & transfer from the airport to the house (used to be ~20eur) is not included, but Malaga is the closest airport to reach our home!
Food is such a big highlight of my retreats, and I did my best to make it special! Leon is our private, Michelin-star chef
who will prepare absolutely delicious vegetarian food for us!
And when talking about meals, we don't play it light, here is what's included daily:
Brunch
Afternoon snack
3-course dinner (now we're talking!)

Curating the women-only retreats throughout the past years always reminds me of the transformative power of sitting in a circle, held by other women in beauty, rawness and openness. Throughout
my career, creating and holding this space for you has opened some of the deepest connections of our hearts and souls, and something that deeply changed me. And I hope it will be that for you, too.
