TRANSFORMATIONAL RETREAT IN MAGICAL IBIZA
FROM ROOT TO RISE
Saturday 3rd May - Thursday 8th May 2025
Announcing our eighth Ibiza collaboration with Retreat Remedies where we will take you on a powerful and transformational journey from Root to Rise. We will work with the chakra system to activate and balance your energetic centres whilst tapping in to your own personal power as we immerse in our signature yin yoga, singing bowl therapy and reiki drumming sessions, qigong movement, wim hof method breathwork, cacao ceremony, harmonium chanting and tea meditations which will allow you to discover, experience and grow whilst absorbing the powerful energy of Ibiza.
During retreat, you will also have the opportunity to meet and experience some deep and transformational work with our own healers Tom and Petra from Shaman Energy who are like family to us. They will facilitate a shamanic drumming ceremony and breath-work using mantra and energy to ignite your internal fire and help you to let go and release anything that may be holding you back.
Of course, woven into this already amazing programme, we will be eating delicious, nuturing plant based gluten/sugar free meals to support our gut, and there are many opportunities for sunrise, sunset and local markets - or you may just want to rest at the villa and lay by the pool!
Some feedback from our last retreat!
‘There is not enough stars to rate, Natalie and Jim deserve all the stars in the world! They are magicians,trully inspiring people! They create the most beautiful retreats: from food to setting everything is perfect. This is my second retreat with them and I seriously couldn't have asked for more! Until we meet again!’
‘The best retreat I’ve ever been on.
So much more than the normal yoga retreat. Reiki Drumming. Wim Hof breathwork, Tea remedies and meditation, sightseeing, amazing food.’
‘It’s difficult to put this experience into words… Natalie and James held space for us, healed us, laughed with us and danced with us. Katherine nurtured us body and spirit. It was absolutely unforgettable. If you’ve ever thought about going on a retreat, this is the one!’
‘These guys are just amazing. Not only are the knowledgeable and inspiring, they are also fun, caring and humble. I loved every bit of our week retreat. The schedule was well thought out, the accommodation was amazing and don’t even get me started on the food… thank you again to all the involved organizers. I know I will be following these guys around the globe. 🙏’
OUR OFFERINGS…
NATURE & NUTRTION
Katherine who is an energy healer, a TCM practitioner and a herbal remedy queen will be offering her special sunrise Herbal Tea Meditations throughout the retreat to support the journey from Root to Rise through the Chakra system using her ‘Retreat Remedies’ herbal tea blends.
Katherine will be nourishing you with nutritional Plant Based Seasonal Foods. The menu will be inspired by all of her knowledge of how we can use food to heal ourselves at every meal. Prepared with love and to support the journey of balancing the chakra system using beautiful fresh produce from the island.
There will be a Remedy Workshop where you will learn from her, how to make your own natural suntan cream and body butter for you to use throughout the retreat to nourish your skin naturally. Again Katherine will be sharing her knowledge and passion of the importance of cutting out chemicals and toxins and living a more natural way.
Katherine will be available throughout to share her wisdom on all of her Remedies which have been gained through both ancient teachings and modern science alongside her own experience..
YIN YOGA, MANTRA & CACAO
Natalie alongside Jim will be offering their deeply restorative Signature Yin Yoga, Singing Bowl Therapy and Reiki Drumming sessions which are inspired by Traditional Chinese Medicine Theory. Focusing on each chakra, to release, and move energy through the body. To shift, nourish and rebalance our energetic, physical, emotional and mental self. They will guide you to stretch an area of your body by holding shapes for 3-5 minutes with bolsters, cushions, blankets as we take you on a journey to bliss where the nervous system can rebalance.
All of their sessions are accompanied by Sound Healing which helps the body generate a positive flow of energy and offers vibrations on a cellular level into the body stimulating the blood vessels, lymph, nerves, veins and muscles to open up blockages, release dis-ease in the body, loosening tension, relaxing the body and releasing pain.
Natalie ia also a caertified cacap practicioner and will offfer ceremony with sancsript chants and harmonium. These ceremonies are nothing but special and a beautiful way to release, find clarity and set intentions.
BREATH, REIKI & SOUND
James is trained both shamaniciy and is a certified Wim Hof Method Instructor. He will support your journey with the breath guiding you through resistance, releases and really help you unleash your superpowers.
He will be mainly working with the Wim Hof Method Breathwork throughout the retreat… We’re always breathing, yet we’re mostly unaware of its tremendous potential. Heightened oxygen levels hold a treasure trove of benefits, and his combination of specialised breathing technique unearths them all: more energy, reduced stress levels, and an augmented immune response that swiftly deals with pathogens.
Jim is a natural healer, he is trained in Reiki and Sound and combines the two. Sound healing works with the viibration and frequencies of our energetic body and can helps with releasing stress from the facia. Improving depression, insomnia, menstrual pain, ear problems, sinusitis etc and offer a sense of peace and calm. Jim not only brings the masculine energy he brings the calm and the hugs. His own personal story of using these tools to heal from cancer makes him the real deal and a total inspiration.
SHAMANIC EXPERIENCE
Tom and Petra who are from Holland lived in Ibiza for many years where they have offered Shamanic work~ being sound and plant medicine to many. They have been our healers for many years and are a very special connection of ours on the island. For the past 4 years we have taken our retreaters to them for shamanic drumming and breath work ceremonies. As we have spent days clearing the energetic body, we have have witnessed some huge transformations on this day.
They use mantras, ritual, their shamanic teachings and guides to keep us and the space extremely safe. They are like family to us and even though they have now left the island to live in Belgium to continue to offer their work they come back especially for us and our retreat, which makes it an even more unique opportunity. We trust them completely and have often been seem a real highlight of the retreat.
A LITTLE PIECE OF HEAVEN
CAN ROSA VILLA
The Villa is in Santa Gertrudis de Fruitera region located approx 12km north of Ibiza town. It is located in the middle of the island surrounded by rich countryside and fruit trees, (hence the name).
The nearby small traditional village has been influenced by modernity and art in a positive way. You will find art galleries, funky clothes shops and artisan goods, whilst the traditional heart of the village remains in the pedestrianised plaza which has cafes and restaurants with hams hanging from the ceiling. This town was one of the original places where hippies, artists and musicians gathered in the 1960's. Possibly the best thing to do in Santa Gertrudis is to shop!
Can Rosa is stunning and located the Santa Gertrudis area. It is situated in the agricultural part of the island so very quiet, lovely walks and stunning views across the island. I have stayed here before on a teacher training event and the villa holds some wonderful memories which I am sure will hold for you too. The Finca was built more than 150 years ago and was fully renovated recently keeping the typical "ibicenco" style. The main Villa has 6 double bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a big kitchen, a separate TV room, a living room with a chimney and separate sitting corners. There are plenty outdoor places to sit and enjoy the sun, a swimming pool, different terraces with amazing views, ideal at sunrise and moonrise. There is an indoor shala and outside wooden deck to practice yoga and offer our sound and reiki sessions.

NATALIE BRADSHAW
Ancient Wisdom has changed my life. For years I suffered with Adrenal Fatigue and an Autoimmune Disease, that combined with being a workaholic in the corporate world often meant choosing to work 13-hour days and using all my energy up at work that often meant that I had nothing left for me, let alone time for my family or friends. After becoming dependent on steroid injections, western medication and coffee just to get through the day I decided to come back to Yoga and explore a more holistic lifestyle. Rather than continue to book holidays in a desperate attempt to recharge, I started to go on Healing retreats which inspired me to train to become a Yoga teacher and this soon became a huge turning point in my life because it gave me the space to rest, spend time with like minded people and also learn tools that I needed to make changes in my life. Very quickly I found that a more regular practice offered me much more than the physical benefits and as I continued to dig deeper, not only did I become stronger and more mobile in my body but I had reduced pain, raised energy levels, improved mental health and my whole perspective significantly changed. I said goodbye to my corporate life and set out on a new path find a solution other than a lifetime on western medication and guess what - I haven't taken western medication for over 7 years and have managed to keep my autoimmune issues at bay (unless I fall into old habits!) Even now with over 1000 study hours with many global master teachers and reading hundreds of books, I continue to search for and experience alternative ways to live at optimal health in this modern world. Going deeper into the layers is my passion, specifically in conjunction with traditional Chinese medicine, organ health, the energetic body and breath work. Sound and Reiki has also been a huge influence in my healing path which is why James (my husband) and I love to work together and create healing and transformational experiences which we can offer on a private basis, group classes, workshops or retreats.

JAMES BRADSHAW
Working in the fire and rescue service was my dream job and after making the difficult decision to leave after 10 years service I lost my way a little.
I missed helping other people and felt something was missing. I proceeded to spend another 10 years building up my own renovations and maintenance company and whilst really enjoying meeting new people and the practical side of working with my hands and being creative I still felt I had more to offer.
I started going to yoga classes to help with a back injury and saw that a Reiki Level 1 course was happening so I signed up. It was very powerful and I had a real connection with the energy. I found it very calming and I very quickly received feedback on how I had helped others with personal issues or physical ailments. I then studied for and completed Reiki 2, further progressing to Reiki Drumming and Reiki Mastership. I am dedicated to learning safe ways to offer sound healing and unique techniques that support healing and transformation in myself and students. I am proud to have learned Singing Bowl Therapy in Nepal by Grand Master Shree Krishna Shahi and the Gong from world renowned Shiela Whittaker - one of the best gong practitioners in the world.
Since 2020 i’ve been working with and studying the Wim Hof Method up to Level 2 to support me and my family with cancer recovery which took me on a powerful and transformational journey to become a wim hof method instructor.
Working with these tools is fascinating and I love seeing the impact it can have on peoples lives. I am looking forward to sharing our offerings with you.
