4 Day Samhain "Inner Witch" Retreat in Galicia, Spain
31ST OCTOBER - 3RD NOVEMBER 2024
Join us for a transformative 4-day retreat over the Samhain weekend which has been created as a fully immersive Astrology and Yoga experience to connect with and honour your Inner Witch.
Samhain is in the heart of Scorpio season, and is a turn of the seasonal wheel that represents death and rebirth cycles, purging, clearing and transformation.
At Shakti Rio Miño, you'll have the opportunity to prepare for the coming "wintering" period in a cosy, peaceful paradise as you practice and embody various restorative and nourshing tools to carry you through the darker, quieter months.
What makes our retreat special?
Our retreat offers a unique blend of personalised astrology workshops themed around Samhain and Scorpio season, daily yoga and movement classes designed to foster introspection and reflection, and a transformative New Moon in Scorpio ceremony to activate and set intentions aligned with the astrology lessons taught during this intimate and immersive retreat. Set amidst the tranquil embrace of the Galician countryside, our retreat offers a holistic experience that prioritises rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation.
Each aspect of the retreat has been carefully curated by Katie and Pam, with their own skills and gifts seamlessly woven into a magical Samhain wintering experience to nourish and support you as we move into a slower, reflective time of year.
Join Pam each morning as we embark on an inward journey, awakening the senses and harnessing the life force within. Through gentle guidance and a mindful practice, discover how yoga becomes more than just exercise—it becomes your healer, nurturing every aspect of your being. Pam we will delve into the transformative power of stillness within each asana, inviting you to feel deeply, breath, reflect, and expand your awareness. Through tender guidance, we navigate this inward journey, where each moment of quietude becomes a pathway to profound healing and self-discovery.
For our final practice together, we immerse ourselves in a sacred space of reflection and remembrance. As we move through each asana, we invite the mind to wander, to linger on the sensations and emotions evoked by our practice. This isn't just a farewell to our time together, it's a commitment to carry the essence of these moments into the wintering months ahead. Through this integration, we empower ourselves to develop self-nurturing practices, embracing the stillness and warmth within, even amidst the chill of winter's embrace.
Additional Activities with Pam:
As well as the morning yoga classes, Pam will guide you through an Om chanting practice, where we synchronise and sense every cell vibrating with cosmic energy, aligning us with the universal pulse.
She will also teach you an ancient Himalayan Kundalini Kriya practice to activate your Divine kundalini energy to heal deep rooted negative emotions, charge your energy centres, the chakras and develop a sense of calm and awareness.
And to wrap up our retreat, she will also guide a Shakti movement journey, where each step, sway, and gesture becomes a sacred expression of your inner divine power. Through fluid motions and intentional breath, you'll awaken the dormant Kundalini Shakti energy within, feeling it flow freely through every nerve of your being. As you dance with the rhythm of the universe, you'll tap into a deep well of strength, grace, and vitality, allowing your true essence to shine brightly. Let the pulsating energy of Shakti movement guide you towards a state of wholeness, alignment, and inner harmony.

DAILY PROGRAM
Our days flow like this...
After a gentle wake up and slow morning with tea and fruit, the first session of the day will be a yoga/movement/breathwork session with Pam, followed by a delicious brunch feast lovingly prepared by our team.
After brunch, you then have the early afternoon free to explore the local sites, take a nature walk, rest and relax in your room or around the stunning onsite gardens, or even a chilly autumnal dip in our pool if you're brave!
We will then gather mid-afternoon for our daily astrology workshop with Katie, which also includes time for Q&A and chart interpretation practice.
You'll then have another hour of free time before rejoining as a group for a delicious 2 course dinner in the bodega.
Evenings activities are different for each night with some of the workshops being mediation/relaxation sessions, cacao ceremony, deep astrology discussions and a new moon fire-pit ceremony.
A complete daily schedule with workshops will provided upon booking.
