"Come Home To Self" Yoga & Meditation Retreat In the Spanish Mountains...
The mountains are calling you home…
Are you ready to answer the call?
—
There’s something about mountains that feels so solid and holding, isn’t there? There’s not many places I feel more invincible and so deeply in tune with the power and strength of Mother Earth as I do when standing atop a mountain. They act as a reminder that whatever the weather, whatever raging storms might be wildly tearing at your hair and whatever winds may make your eyes water, there is a solid center, right at the core of your being - a solid mountain of soul that is you, that is unchanging, no matter what’s happening on the outer layers.
That is the magic of this retreat.
That is the place we’re going to.
This retreat is a remembering - a tender call back home. An offering from you to you to come back home to yourself. To give yourself permission to shed layers. To sit, and be, and move through whatever needs to be moved through, so that we might be our own guiding light home.

Every single part of this retreat has been loving held, sat with, marinated in and curated to be able to offer you space to do just that. Over the past 3 years of using this venue and running this exact retreat, I have been moulding it into something pretty. bloomin’. special.
There’s movement and yoga asana.
There’s sitting in silence and guidance into listening.
There’s meandering through ancient lands and winding mountainous footpaths.
There’s story, and myth, and poetry.
There’s dance and creativity.
There’s depth and there’s laughter.
There’s wild swimming and magical sound baths.
There’s adventure and there’s plenty of space to just ‘be’.
Oh… & there’s hammocks, a saltwater swimming pool, unbelievable views and lots of lizards and beautiful butterflies!

Haven’t practiced much yoga before? You get to choose what you partake in, and all classes are tailored to each guest.

House Of Light owners Adrian & Ceri discuss the philosophy and unique ethos of our beautiful retreat venue.
This incredible venue (photos don’t do it justice!) is owned by a vibrant, colourful British couple and their family, who have been running transformational retreats for many years and have spent that time creating a space that is fully conducive to completely switching off…
Located in the the middle of the ancient and expansive Las Alpujarra mountains, just below the snow-capped tips of the Sierra Nevada, the nearest town of Orgiva is a 15 minute drive away.
This incredible space of healing is surrounded by rivers, mountain goats, eagles (if we’re lucky!), and further up into the mountains are the famous white-washed villages of the Alpujarras, where they sell organic olive oils, fresh cured meats, goats cheese and plenty of traditional Spanish tapas!
The house has extensive gardens, where herbs and veggies are cultivated for meals. Within these gardens are 3 yurt accommodations, a salt-water fresh swimming pool with incredible views, hammocks and a fire pit.
There is a Moroccan snug to cosy down with a book in, and beautiful outside and inside dining areas – with the outside area on a terrace overlooking the valley and mountains below. The perfect spot to cheers to a day of yoga, hiking and meditation with a glass of organic wine or fresh smoothie, and a plate of delicious organic, fresh vegetarian food to line the belly!

A unique heart-centred eco-venue that will take your breath away...
Last year two of our guests shed a tear upon arrival at the stunning House of Light retreat centre.
We think that speaks for itself!
As an experienced retreat facilitator of 5 years, and an expedition and volunteer leader of over 10 years, I (Bethan) pride myself on curating retreats that are transformative and healing from the moment you step off the plane, to the minute you land home.
This venue hits all of my integral values as a facilitator: beautiful and considered in its design, created with love as a purpose-built house of healing.
The thing that makes this venue so unique is the perfect balance of comfort and connection to nature in a down-to-earth way. We would call it eco-luxury!

Each room can accommodate a double bed or two twin beds. All rooms in the main house have underfloor heating and the yurts have their own individual heaters, to keep them cosy in the winter.

During your retreat you will have the opportunity to explore the incredible surrounding areas of Las Alpujarras with qualified, interesting and entertaining mountaineering guides, Jens & Andy. These guys have been running expeditions and walking trips up in the incredible Sierra Nevada and Las Alpujarra mountain ranges for decades, and know the area like the back of their hands. They are highly qualified and skilled mountaineers.
They work with our retreat personally to curate a bespoke adventure in the Spanish mountains.
What You Can Expect:
Collection from our retreat centre in a 4×4 Land Rover
A beautiful drive up into the mountains along winding roads and tracks
A whole wealth of facts and information as we ascend 3 hours of walking in the mountains (easy - moderate difficulty depending on group requirements), including optional wild-swimming in fresh water pools!
See the stunning white villages of the Alpujarras – the area where the witches from the nearby cities created their homes hundreds of years ago, and that still hold potent energetic wisdom now – you can truly feel it!
If you can, we highly recommend partaking in this excursion. You will be blown away by the beauty.

Guided Herbal Medicine Walk (approx. 3hrs, gentle, local)...
Sophie, a local medicinal herbalist, will share her knowledge of the natural world that grows around us. Detailing the medicinal properties of the wild herbs and plants during a walk in the hills surrounding House Of Light. The walk itself is medicinal but when you know the plants and remember them every time they pass by you, walks can become magical experiences. It is something that always excites Sophie, to look at the abundance of useful plants that grow around us. She invotes you to explore them together! The walk is around 3 hours, and is very gentle; discovering the local area.

This experience urged Ceri to share her love of yoga and created a deep curiosity about the difference between the ego and the true self, the illusion of thoughts and emotions and how the understanding of such things can deepen and enrich life.
House of Light allows Ceri to combine all these things with her other passion – creating nourishing, exciting and delicious food.
Ceri will be leading a couple of our morning hatha flow yoga classes to get your body, mind and soul warmed up and connected to the life source of the day ahead!
Ceri’s classes are energising, empowering and will get you up and rising with the Spanish sunshine!
