Relating Compassionately with Rico - Saturday 2nd December 5pm - 7pm
This is a series of workshops to learn and practice the tools of Nonviolent Communication (NVC) developed by Marshall Rosenberg.
NVC can help to create and maintain more meaningful, deeper and authentic relationships; also with oneself. It's so empowering to know ways to comfortably ask for what you want while maintaining respect for yourself and others. Instead of playing who's right or wrong, let's play how to make life more wonderful for all of us.
You'll learn:
- a set of principles that support living with compassion, collaboration, courage and authenticity.
- how the words you're using contribute to connection or distance
- how to communicate and find solutions that work for everyone even when in conflict or disagreement.
- a different approach to using power; consideration vs domination.

Sound Journey with Nivek - Saturday 23rd December 5.30pm - 7.30pm
At the heart of these sessions, the enchanting Sound Journeys conducted by our talented guide, Nivek, await you. He invites you to discover a symphony of resonance and rhythm, perfectly curated to provoke an inward pilgrimage into the realm of the unseen, a mystical space within yourself that is rarely trodden upon in our daily lives.
In these Sound Journeys, the chords of the universe strummed on a variety of instruments blend with the undulating cadence of your own heartbeat. Each note played sends a pulse reverberating through your consciousness, as a pebble dropped into the silent pond of your psyche, creating ripples that awaken unseen corners of your inner universe.
But the journey does not end there. Emerging from the depths of our inner space exploration, you'll then have the rare opportunity to explore your outer space in the 'group space'. Here, we seamlessly weave together a tapestry of connections, forging bonds that defy the norms of traditional social encounters.
In this group space, we encourage open communication and shared experiences, allowing you to transcend your personal boundaries. Here, you will find a nurturing community that welcomes diversity, honors individuality, and celebrates the shared human experience. Whether you prefer to speak, listen, or simply hold space, your presence contributes to the shaping of our collective journey.
Together, these sessions offer a unique blend of inward contemplation and outward connection, where the boundaries between self and other, known and unknown, seen and unseen, begin to blur. These experiences not only allow us to dive deep within but also to reach out, cultivating a delicate balance that promotes a greater understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
We invite you to join us in this mystical voyage, in search of the harmony that exists at the intersection of our inner and outer worlds. So, gather your courage, embrace your curiosity, and step onto this vibrant path with us. The journey awaits you, as much as you await the journey.

Healing the Inner Child with Systemic & Family Constellations - Sat 27th January 10.30am - 6pm - Sunday 28th January 10am - 5pm
Holding on to such inner conflict touches and affects many aspects of our lives; from the state of our health and well-being to the image we hold about ourselves and the way we ‘show up’ when we relate to others. Such powerful and mostly unconscious inner-conflict most often appears when we are in a romantic relationship in form of a crisis or other challenges. Depression is closely related to early life experiences and so can be helped by engaging in Inner Child healing work.
Illi has been fascinated by the wealth of therapeutic and healing possibilities that are opening up when working with The Inner Child. A clear and direct link is becoming visible between one’s own spiritual evolutionary journey and their relationship with The Inner Child. This link will be our starting point for this upcoming weekend at Sanya Eco Spa in January 2024.
At this unique therapeutic weekend workshop, led by Illi Adato head of London School of Systemic & Family Constellations, each participant has the opportunity to open up a new ‘channel’ of healing for themselves by safely attending to the needs of this delicate inner-part of themselves.
Join us for another profound experience with Illi, bring your issue / difficulty and find a safe healing space for a better connection with your The Inner Child - no matter how hard his/her’s childhood experiences were…
