Waves of Release
RELEASE. RECONNECT. VITALITY.
2026
Nestled along the wild northern coast of Barcelona, this May retreat invites you into a space of deep release and renewal.
Over 3-days, you’ll be gently guided through breath-work, Qi Gong, and emotional processing designed to help you soften stored anger and reconnect with your inner peace. Rooted in the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine and immersed in the rhythm of the sea, this experience offers more than rest — it offers transformation.
With empowering talks, coastal walks, ocean swims, and an invigorating ice bath to complete the journey, every element is curated to help you return to yourself — calm, clear, and alive. This is your invitation to release what no longer serves and make space for something lighter.
CLEAR THE LIVER,
FREE THE HEART
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the liver governs the flow of energy (Qi) and emotion. When this energy stagnates, we feel it as irritability, tension, or disconnection. This retreat supports you in unblocking that flow through intentional movement, breath, and reflection — bringing balance not just to your body, but to your emotional landscape.
EMBODY THE ELEMENTS
Palamós, with its rugged coastline, fresh sea air, and wide-open skies, is the perfect setting for elemental healing. This retreat works in harmony with the season of spring and the wood element — both symbols of growth and transformation. You’ll be guided to move like water, root like a tree, and expand like sunlight breaking through clouds.
FEEL TO HEAL
We believe that healing happens when we stop resisting how we feel. This retreat is a safe space to meet anger without judgment, to process deeply, and to emerge with renewed clarity and compassion. Through shared experience, nourishing food, and practices that support emotional release, you’ll learn to feel fully and let go gently.

BEA
Yoga & Mental Coaching
I have spent much of my life navigating the challenges of depression and anxiety. Through this journey, I found my true path to healing not in simply managing my symptoms, but by transforming my mindset.
Mental coaching became my doorway to self-awareness, teaching me how to question my beliefs and reframe my thoughts.
I discovered the power of emotional mastery and learned how to truly honor my feelings rather than be controlled by them. This experience reshaped my relationship with myself, and now, I am passionate about guiding others to find the same peace and clarity through yoga and mental coaching.
Location
Sea of Serenity Palamós is a beachfront haven nestled right on the shores of the Costa Brava — a place to slow down, breathe deeply, and let nature do the healing. Between ocean swims, barefoot beach walks, and sun-soaked siestas, time begins to blur in the best possible way.
The retreat takes place in Palamós, a quiet fishing town on the wild and beautiful Girona coast, where pine forests meet turquoise waters and rocky coves open to golden sand. This region of northeastern Catalonia is known for its raw natural beauty, charming seaside villages, and gentle Mediterranean rhythm. It’s the kind of place where everything slows down, and that’s exactly the point.
Our house sits directly on the beach, so you can roll out of bed and step into the sea. Just a short walk or drive away, you’ll find cliffside coastal trails, hidden swimming spots, and lively local markets. From here, it’s easy to explore postcard-perfect towns like Begur, Calella de Palafrugell, or even take a day trip to the medieval heart of Girona city. Whether you’re swimming at sunrise or journaling to the sound of waves, Palamós offers a gentle landing back into your body, your breath, and your rhythm.
Accommodation
Our retreat home is a peaceful beachfront villa designed for rest, comfort, and connection. Nestled right on the shore of the Mediterranean, the house offers sweeping sea views, sun-drenched common areas, and quiet nooks for stillness and reflection. Rooms are simple, and serene—creating a sense of gentle community while leaving space for personal retreat.
You’ll also have access to a rustic open-air gym space for playful movement and a cozy outdoor jacuzzi, perfect for unwinding after a day of practice or soaking under the stars.
Whether you're journaling on the terrace, sharing meals by the sea, or drifting to sleep with the sound of waves, this space is here to hold you. It's not about luxury—it's about grounding, softness, and feeling at home in your body.
