Frankie Sikes from Walking in Spirit is hosting a unique mindful walking and spiritual development retreat for Alternatives in the stunning location of Somiedo Natural Park, Asturias, Spain, home of the European grizzly bear and distinctive Iberian wolf.

The retreat takes place over seven days and will comprise four morning workshops on Mindfulness, Shamanism, Asturian Mythology, Liminality and Spiritual Growth with four mindful walks in the incredible forests and mountains of Somiedo.

The retreat is timed to coincide with Somiedo’s spectacular floral display and there is a chance of viewing some of Asturias’s more charismatic animals as well. The retreat centre is a historic Casona located on the banks of the rio Somiedo and has a swimming pool and lovely grounds for relaxing, walking and viewing the surrounding mountains.

All food and transfers are included and a packed lunch will be provided for the walks. Take time out of this busy world, learn a mindful walking practice and spend a week totally immersed in the peace and tranquility of Europe’s hidden Eden.
