Visits to

Aqueducts of Alicún de las Torres

These five stone water channels, used still to this day since 20,000 years ago, are considered the spiritual guardians of this area and are associated with the ancient lost civilization of Atlantis. They carry powerful healing waters charged by the sunlight and teach us how to renew our being through the union of fire, light, and water.

Bacos

A remote village of cave-homes where lived one of the most famous alchemists from Spain. Here Juan will teach us about how to understand the energetics of spaces, how to create spaces with healing properties and how to develop and maintain personal energetic integrity.

Gorafe’s megalithic park

This is the highest concentration of megaliths, prehistoric stone constructions, in Europe (about 200 in only 4 miles). Here we will come in direct contact with the wisdom of their builders and we will learn why these monuments that seem so simple are actually very sophsiticated; how they are placed on Earth channels; and how they help to balance the environment and promote healing and spiritual evolution for those who visit them.

Calahorra’s castle

High up, almost in the sky, surrounded by the beautiful Sierra Nevada mountain peaks, we find this mythical gem of Spain’s renaissance architecture, transporting the visitor to a different time and space. We will read and experience its hidden legends, learn how to cultivate deeper roots into the Earth and experience a wider view into the heavens.

Gaudix and its cathedral

The beautiful town of Guadix is one of the oldest settlements in Spain, with prehistoric remains dating back 30.000 years. Originally an Iberian village, it became a crossroad of Phoenician, Roman, Christian, Islamic and Jewish cultures. We will visit a neighbourhood where people still live in home-caves excavated in the hills and its magnificent cathedral, where we will witness how its master builders treasured light as the sublime expression of divine energy.

The Alhambra

The Alhambra palace is one of the true jewels of Spain’s architecture, a majestic blend of geometry, light and water that open our hearts and reveals the harmony of our spirits. Originally built in AD 889 on the remains of Roman fortifications, it was renovated and rebuilt in the mid-13^th century by Mohammed ben Al-Ahmar. Juan will guide us through an experiential journey of the magic, poetry and ancestral wisdom of this one of a kind place.

Prehistoric mine of Ochre

For the ancients ochre symbolized the union of father and mother energies – vital force and blood. Ochre also symbolized the strength of one’s personal linage. As a sacred pigment it was used to paint the inside of temples, magical objects and to cover oneself for ceremonies. This prehistoric mine was used for ritual purposes and is guarded by ancient rock art that connects the place with the stars, solstices and equinoxes. This will be a very powerful ending for our retreat, helping us integrate what we have experience and preparing us to return to our daily lives charged by the wisdom of this magical land.
