Description
Hi I am an outdoors enthusiast who came to Spain 15 years ago for climbing and surfing. I have bought a 5 bedroom room house with 2 acres of land and im working on it and plan to open a retreat centre for well being and spiritual practice.. I plan to be teaching courses in Meditation, conscious connected breath work, cold water immersion (Wim Hoff), stand up paddle boarding, shiatsu, mountain biking and other modalities. I hope to have it ready fro guests in September.

Projects I will be working on will be gardening, land scanning, developing the stream for a plunge pool and waterfall, painting around the house, making a yoga deck and some platforms for tents. I want to create a place where people of similar intentions can come together and learn tools for greater mastery and evolve their consciousness in their life and learn to find calm and clarity. Where they can make great friends, study together, share together serve a greater purpose.

My stay with Neil was very last minute but super rewarding in many aspects: a year ago, I marked as favourites his profile and I wrote to myself a note "September Wim Hof". I didn't know that I'll be in Asturias a year later so I took it as sign. He answered my request very quick, we had a video-call and connected right away.
A few days later, he… read more
