It is an honor and a privilege to share this Magical Enchanted “Forest” Experience with you.

I have chosen this energizing and rejuvenating spot in Asturias because I have experienced its vibration and powers firsthand. I was also fortunate enough to call it home for over seven years.

Location

Asturias is one of the most beautiful regions of Spain. Everything in it releases vitality; rivers, sea, mountains, villages, people. Bosque Escondido Arte (Hidden Forest Art), located in Cereceda, a small village on the southern face of the the Sueve mountain range and facing the Picos de Europa National Park, in the heart of a peaceful and private older forest that is both a retreat home and the study and workshop of the sculptress Carmen Castillo.

RETREAT ATTENDEE FEEDBACK

“Thank you for the most amazing retreat. It was everything you promised down to the unicorns. The setting in Asturias was magical. Surrounded by trees, art, meditation and yoga could not be more beautifully done. A rich experience. A week filled with the perfect balance of fun events, allowing individual time to explore nature and enjoy photography. The village so much fun, hikes were amazing through the beautiful countryside. The yoga was perfect, mindful, and healing. I don’t know how you managed to put such perfection together. Great new friendships were even built during a week that flew by. Your guided meditation was just what was needed. A new experience of calm, peace and serenity. It was mystical, magical and healing. You can book me for the next time you go, I did not get enough of Asturias. With much love and appreciation for all your efforts. It came from the heart! ”

“There are retreats that leave their mark and this has been one of them. Gala knows how to foster beautiful connection with nature and with people. I savored every moment of the retreat: the walks, the food, the yoga, the meditation... in a spectacular setting, in the middle of a forest filled with energy. A special retreat from which you come out anew.”

“Gala’s retreat was a fantastic opportunity to take some time for myself and practice mindfulness. I enjoyed the daily meditations and yoga and ample downtime that forced a busy professional like me to relax and slow down. The retreat center was an outdoor wonderland with nature everywhere you look and ample opportunities to enjoy it (kayaking, hiking, laying in a hammock, read a book in a tree house). The retreat is set up to support each other’s journeys into ourselves, and into wellness. One of the best parts was sharing this experience with women from all over the world, and the strong relationships that I developed. Try it! You deserve it!”
