7 jours de paix intérieure : retraite personnelle de yoga et bien-être à Gozo

Installations

Allow yourself the opportunity to let go of the pain, suffering, and discomfort that has accumulated in the body, mind, emotions, and spirit. Be supported to embrace and meet your inner world. Receive tools on how to cultivate your relationship with yourself and how to relax in the discomfort of what arises within you. Honor yourself through time and space in a safe, nurturing, guided healing sanctuary. Andrea will also be on hand for one-on-one individual and personal support and guidance if needed.

This retreat focuses on relaxation and going within, allowing what has been unseen within to be seen, embraced, and transformed through support and guidance. Techniques, foods, guidance, exercises, and sessions all to support your process. (this retreat is not a replacement for medical assistance or a home for substance withdrawal).

This is a personal retreat that is conducted in flow, which means, adjusts to the natural rhythms of life and how we feel in the moment.

Each retreat is tailored to what you need at a specific time through diet, yoga practices, guided meditations, healing therapies, guidance, and free time. The schedule is flexible to be most suitable for your needs and reflected by the season.

Welcome to the healing home of Andrea Ridgway. Located in the middle of the Mediterranean sea on the island of Gozo in the village of Qala. Gozo, which means 'joy', is a little spit of land sitting in the Mediterranean Sea with a unique rocky coastal landscape, waters so crystal-clear and the sky so bright blue that you’ll have to rub your eyes to believe what you are seeing. Gozo is the second-largest island of the Maltese Archipelago and is an ideal destination for those who treasure a slow, relaxed rhythm of life and cherish the unspoiled countryside and being close to the sea. The beauty of surrounding nature all around creates an ambiance of complete peace.

Andrea welcomes you to her home, a Gozitan farmhouse built of the local Maltese limestone, which has been renovated and kept in old-modern style, offering comfort, charm, and relaxation. Set on 3 floors with 3 en-suite bedrooms, fully equipped kitchen and living room overlooking the private pool and nature views of Gozo and sea views of the Blue Lagoon, Comino, and Malta. There is also a cave room, where you can book your therapy and/or treatment session.

Andrea lives in the top part of her home. The home and lifestyle is based on relaxation, peace, and harmony. While there is Wifi, you will find a better signal without it as our home is connected with nature, animals, sunrise, and walking trails. We share our space with our three, sometimes five, cats: Azué, Molly, Louisa, Oscar, and Blackie. We buy fresh goat cheese, goat milk, and free-range eggs from our neighbor, who is a shepherd and can be seen daily walking her sheep and goats by the house. Our living is simple, modest, and nurturing. You will be well looked after and nurtured as all your basic needs are provided for. Our space does not have a television but it does have a large table for us all to share and support one another. Our triangular common area kitchen, dining room, and living room are the heart of the home. Located just below is the healing cave where healing therapies and sessions take place.
