12th - 16th September 2027
with Jen and guest teacher tba
Join me at the Small Monastery at Rutzu in the beautiful village of Deià, Mallorca, where rugged mountains tumble towards the Mediterranean and days are made for moving, creating, exploring and slowing right down.
Set among the wild beauty of the Tramuntana mountains, this is a retreat designed to help you bring balance back into your life, without taking yourself too seriously. Expect strength-focused Pilates, intuitive movement, creative workshops, deliciously nourishing food, swims in the sea, mountain adventures, long lunches, lazy afternoons and plenty of time to simply see where the day takes you.
There will be mornings to move and stretch, afternoons to swim, wander and explore, playful moments to get creative, long lunches that turn into even longer conversations, golden-hour hangs, spontaneous adventures, laughter, rest and, of course, the occasional very necessary doing-absolutely-nothing with a large vino in hand.
Away from the noise and pace of everyday life, each day is an invitation to move, play, pause and reconnect - with your body, your creativity, nature and a brilliant group of like-minded people. You might start the day with Pilates and end it dancing barefoot, spend an afternoon making something with your hands, disappear into the mountains, float in the sea or simply lie in the sunshine with a book. This retreat is all about balance - the best way to live life.
Because on this retreat, rest and play are just as important as movement. There’s space to recharge, nap, read, swim, wander and be gloriously unproductive.
You’ll leave feeling stronger and more energised in your body, lighter in your mind and creatively recharged, with a little more space, perspective and playfulness to take home with you.
This is more than a getaway. It’s a chance to move, make, explore, laugh, rest and reset, surrounded by the wild beauty of Deià, sunshine on your skin, salt in your hair and plenty of room to have a bit of fun.

Our retreat home.
Nestled between the beautiful villages of Deià and Valldemossa, high in the heart of the Serra de Tramuntana, this enchanting little monastery is a truly magical place to escape to. Full of history, character and charm, the 13th-century site accommodates just 11 guests, creating an intimate and wonderfully relaxed setting for our time together.
Perched high on the mountainside, it feels as though you’ve stepped into another world - one where the mountains roll down towards the sparkling Mediterranean, the air is scented with pine and wild herbs, and the days seem to stretch a little longer.
The views are extraordinary, with the sea unfolding endlessly below and the mountains creating a spectacular backdrop in every direction. And then there are the sunsets: golden, glowing and completely unforgettable, transforming the sky and making it very easy to lose track of time.
Every corner has its own story, with beautiful architectural details, historic features and little pockets of magic to discover. It’s the kind of place that invites you to wander barefoot, linger over long lunches, gather together for sunset drinks, curl up with a book or simply sit and take it all in.
A little wild, a little soulful and completely enchanting, the perfect setting for days filled with movement, creativity, sunshine, laughter, adventure and plenty of time to simply enjoy being somewhere beautiful.
