THE MORENESS RETREAT IN BARCELONA, SPAIN.
ACTIVATE CLARITY, JOY, AND ALIGNED ACTION
COME TO BARCELONA, SPAIN TO REJUVENATE, RECONNECT & REPLENISH.
TAKE A BREAK, GET AWAY FROM IT ALL – WITH SOME WELL-DESERVED TIME, JUST FOR YOU.
SET AGAINST THE BREATHTAKING BACKDROP OF BARCELONA, SPAIN, OVERLOOKING THE AZURE BEAUTY OF THE MEDITERRANEAN, YOU ARE INVITED TO UNLOCK THE HIDDEN DEPTHS OF YOUR BEING AND MANIFEST YOUR DREAMS INTO REALITY.
IF YOU ARE READY TO UNPLUG FROM THE STRESSES OF EVERYDAY OBLIGATIONS, RECONNECT WITH YOUR INNER VOICE, AND GO ON THE ADVENTURE OF A LIFETIME, JOIN US.
IN THE EMBRACE OF THIS PICTURESQUE LOCALE ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF BARCELONA, IMMERSE YOURSELF IN A JOURNEY OF SELF-DISCOVERY AND ALIGNED, PURPOSEFUL CREATION.
As you cross the threshold of Bell Niu (beautiful nest in Catalan), your Catalan home for 6 nights, your body relaxes with an inner sense of “rightness.”
You feel a sense of joy lightening your footsteps and filling your heart. Then, as the week unfolds, old patterns of self-defeat begin to drop away easily, without the need to resurrect them. Your mind catches up with what your body already knows.
You feel yourself step into the flow of creative inspiration. Rather than feeling like you are standing under the full force of a cascading waterfall, the ideas arrive already sorted and prioritized for you: for your purpose, your plan, and your energy. They are “a fit” for you to carry forward. And you can do it with ease.
THIS RESULTS IN A PALPABLE KNOWING, A PEACEFUL CLARITY, AND A SORT OF DELIGHTFUL HUMOR ABOUT HOW EASY CREATION IS.
Old patterns of difficulty, struggle, and self-sabotage are phased out in layers, as energetic upgrades continue to raise your frequency and increase the potency and strength of your capacity to create. This redirects energy that is otherwise spent holding back out-dated patterns or fighting old demons. So, there are greater inner resources, a more vital force for you to heal and align. And with which to create.
No longer are you stalled with ideas that seem grand but have no place to go. In this energy – the right ideas break through, and you’re given the tools to bring them to life and utilize them.
Booking your place is simple. We jump on a quick 'right fit' call, and once we're both happy that this is going to be a blessing all around, you can secure your place with your deposit:
Spain in the spring!
Barcelona is in northern Spain, in the area known as Catalonia. Catalonians are passionately independent. They have their own language, culture, and heritage, and an incredible history. The region has a wealth of world-renowned art, music, and architecture. Perhaps most well-known, Antoni Gaudi, is one of the most influential architects of the first half of the 20th-century. Gaudí is best known for his intricate structures throughout Barcelona including the famous Basílica de la Sagrada Família.
Let’s shine light on what you really want in this next part of your life.
In this 6-night retreat, surrounded by the gentle and provocative energies of Catalonia, you will bring into focus the dreams that have danced at your outer edges.
Key to replenishment, rejuvenation, and discovery is rest. Savor nourishing, gorgeous food designed to nurture your body while delighting your senses.
A sense of inner calm beckons you deeper into a state of relaxation and receiving. New pictures dance across your inner landscape, stimulated by the beauty around you.
A feeling of unlimited possibility beckons.
Learn the art of tuning into your inner guidance system.
Through Turaya meditation experiences, introspective exercises, and group sharing, discover how to listen and interpret the whispers of your soul, so that your actions are grounded in and supported by your inner guidance.
Gain the tools to make decisions that resonate with your truest self. Once again, remember how to activate your inner guidance, whether it is to navigate your journey, bring your project to the finish line, or find your inner peace.
Step into New Realities: Release the weight of self-limiting beliefs and past constraints.
Through transformative sessions and liberating practices, shed what no longer serves you, creating space for new perspectives and opportunities. Let go of the obstacles that have been holding you back for so long so you can embrace your refreshed reality.
Harness the synergy between your inner wisdom and the physical world.
Through 1:1 and group strategy sessions, you will bring your vision into physical form. Delve into practical methods that transform your inner guidance into tangible action steps.

YOU WILL RETURN HOME WITH AN ONGOING CONNECTION AND COMMUNICATION WITH YOUR INNER COMPASS
CULTIVATE UNWAVERING CONFIDENCE AND CLARITY AS YOU TAKE THE STEPS TO MANIFEST YOUR VISION.
YOU HAVE THE ACTION STEPS AND YOU ARE READY TO IMPLEMENT THEM TO BRING YOUR VISION TO LIFE.
You are welcome to arrive on site any time after 1 PM on Saturday, April 20th. We begin our week together with a welcome gathering and dinner at 7 PM.
Each day will build on the one before it. While we have a structure and a rhythm, we embrace flow and fluidity to respond to your needs and desires.
Each morning breakfast food will be available for you to enjoy on your own timeline.
On days 2 through 5, our group session
begins at 10 AM.
Lunch will be served each day at 1 PM (except on Thursday when we are in Barcelona).
Each afternoon, you choose: you can have personal reflection time, a private Turaya Touch session with Laurie, or a private coaching session with Yvonne. Or return to enjoy the beach!
You can also take a quick taxi ride to visit two medieval sites in nearby Calafell: Ciutadella Ibèrica, or Castell de la Santa Creu & Parque Arqueológico.
Late afternoon at 4 PM is open time for a snack and a chat. This is time to reflect while enjoying one of our amazing chef Taty's creations.
A full group dinner with wine will be served each evening around 7 PM.
This is the Mediterranean, where chefs have an abundance of local produce and the bounty of the sea at their fingertips.
We are thrilled to have Taty Fernandez as our chef for the retreat. Taty, the heart and founder of Taste Box and Baobá, brings a wealth of culinary expertise and passion to our table. Taty´s creations reflect not only technical finesse but also a deep emotional connection to the food. It's an embodiment of Taty's culinary journey, a place where flavors tell stories, and each dish is a celebration of her rich background. With her vision and expertise, our dining experience will transcend the ordinary.
If you have any dietary requirements, please let us know in advance.
Morning Awe Walk (Monday and Wednesday):
This is optional! Some people prefer to sleep in.
Imagine the world in a tranquil pause, the first light of day casting a gentle glow. Outside, the serene beauty of Cunit awaits, wrapped in a blanket of quiet calm.
Join us in an early morning stroll through the streets of this authentic Spanish neighborhood as we descend the hill towards the captivating beach of Calafell.
Here, golden sands meet the rhythmic dance of endless waves, framed by gracefully swaying palm trees. It’s a haven of peace, a place where you can choose to sit and get lost in the meditative ebb and flow of the sea, indulge in a refreshing dip, or accompany us on a rejuvenating beach walk. This idyllic setting offers a moment of tranquility, a chance to recharge and embrace the new day.
This leisurely walk to the beach is an invitation, not an obligation –
a chance to connect with nature and find inner peace as your day begins.
Immerse yourself in an enriching sensory journey at our conscious wine-tasting event. Engage all your senses—sight, smell, taste, touch, and even hearing—as we explore the symphony of aromas, flavors, and textures in each glass of Spanish wine.
This experience goes beyond mere tasting; it's about heightening your awareness and deepening your appreciation of wine's subtle nuances. With each sip, we'll uncover the complexities that make every variety unique, enhancing not just your palate but your sensory perception as a whole.
Whether you're a seasoned connoisseur or a curious novice, our conscious wine tasting is an invitation to connect with the essence of wine, creating a deeper, more mindful appreciation of this timeless art.
Mark Derksen is our host during this special wine-tasting event. Mark has been involved with wine since he was 16. He worked in a wine store for 7 years, owned his own online wine shop, and has been trained as a Wine and Spirit Education Trust connoisseur. He has a vast knowledge and keen interest in wine and will share many fascinating stories.
(and only limited left..)
Our last full day together will be an adventure in Barcelona with a private tour of La Sagrada Familia, the glorious Gaudi-designed cathedral.
We are hoping to have a meditation in the extraordinary energy here.
On Laurie's first visit to La Sagrada Familia, she stood bathed in the light streaming through the fabulous stained glass with tears streaming down her face. We will enjoy lunch afterward at a traditional Catalan restaurant before returning to Bell Nui for our farewell dinner and celebration. (Lunch cost is not included.)

Getting from Barcelona Airport to Sants Train Station by train couldn’t be easier. The RENFE R2 Nord Line leaves every 30 minutes from the Airport Train Station and reaches Sants Train Station in just 20 minutes. However, the Airport Train Station lies outside T2. Hence, if you are landing at T1, you’ll have to use the free airport shuttle bus that runs 24/7 from one terminal to the other. The bus operates on a 5-7-minute frequency. Traveling time from T1 to T2 is approximately 10 minutes.
The R2 Nord Trains have available routes from 5:42 am to 11:38 pm. Their ticket is 4.60€/4.60$. You can get your ticket from the airport’s automatic machines. Conveniently, automatic ticket vendors accept both cash and credit cards.
We'll pick you up at Sants Train Station for a short ride to the Retreat Center.
Of course, there are also taxis available outside the Terminals.
It’s time to come together into the quantum realm of potential. And remember, there’s no way you can dream bigger or support more clients if you don’t amplify your soul-care first!
If you’ve been running nonstop these days and you have been feeling depleted, then this is the opportunity you’ve been waiting for to step outside your everyday routine and sink deep into your inner knowing so you can return home able to claim your life and ready to be of service.
So whether you need a break from your daily grind, know it’s time to check in and reassess your direction in life or business, craving space to journal and dream, or can feel you’re on the verge of a major breakthrough, then time to yourself within the support of the group is guaranteed to shake your potential free and rejuvenate you to do what you are in the world to do.
Collectively, we’ll be blending our energies with the potency of the land to create an experience exponentially more amazing than your mind can fathom.
And, wonderfully, you do this in the community of others. You aren't alone!
But you’ll have to say yes to join us to see. We need YOU to be there!
