Are you looking for a
Deep Immersion
in your Healing Journey?
Then look no further.
We create a safe, steady space for you to slow down, listen deeply, and begin meaningful healing. This retreat is designed to support your wellbeing, help you release what no longer serves you, and reconnect you with the parts of yourself that have been waiting to be met.
Through a blend of mindfulness practice, family constellation work, somatic trauma release, ancestral healing, inner child and adolescent reconnection, and shadow integration, you’ll have the chance to explore and shift old patterns at their roots.
This kind of work can bring a real lightness — easing the weight of inherited stories, loosening stuck emotional habits, and opening the way to a more grounded, loving, and authentic way of being.
The journey unfolds in an intimate group setting, supported by daily yoga, sound baths, nourishing food, sunshine, and genuine care. Optional one-to-one sessions in bodywork, energy healing, and spiritual guidance are also available.
Together, John and Maria Jesús bring more than 30 years of experience walking alongside people on their path toward personal and spiritual growth.

AUTHOR, INSPIRATIONAL SPEAKER AND SOUL EMPOWERMENT COACH / TEACHER
Maria is a member of Cofenat a Spanish association of Health Professionals. She is a member of The Somatic Experiencing Association and abides by their Code of Ethics. All her work is fully insured and she receives regular supervision.
I began my training as a holistic therapist in 1997. My own journey began by exploring different energy therapies. Once I gained a full understanding of energy, I felt the need to understand
the body , so I studied different types of massage. I trained in Thailand at the ITM massage school in Chiang Mai. After understanding the relationship between energy and the body, I felt the need to understand
the mind , so I studied Psychotherapy. And after that, I felt that I could really offer a holistic approach to my clients. Mind, body and soul. I am passionate about taking people on a holistic journey of self-discovery.
Testimonial Monika
If you really want to get empowered look no further, talk to Maria Jesus.
Years have passed since I met Maria in Dublin, Ireland while I was at a crossroads in my life. I couldn’t have been luckier. Thanks to Maria I embarked on a path of love, care and respect that was absolutely needed to end the relationship that was ruining my life and meet my life partner. Now I am a happy mom of a 17 month old boy cherishing life here and now.

Testimonial Denise
1-1 Spiritual Counselling
When I met John through serendipity several years ago, my life was imploding and I was losing the plot. I began working with him regularly, as bad became worse and worse. It would be an understatement to say that my life is great now. I am happier than I have ever been, and working with John continues to mean so much to me it is difficult to put in words. It has been an honour and a privilege, truly, to have John’s support through so much profound change.
Everyone in my circle knows that I hold John in the absolute highest regard. I often talk about my conversations with him, and how they have provoked change in ways that I have not expected or experienced before. They notice that I smile when I say his name, and that he challenges my obstinate patterns with love at the centre of everything.
He creates a strong and safe container and I trust him. I can talk with him about anything whatsoever and he will engage with deep interest, enthusiasm, and an open heart. He is very funny and very smart, and not easy to shock. With him I have learned that I am not alone and that everything will work out how it should.
