A 3-night immersive signature retreat for women who have spent years holding everything together and are now craving space to rest deeply, create without pressure, and feel themselves again.

Early bird €1390 until June 30th. Reserve your space with a €500 deposit. Payment in 4 installments is available.

Only a limited number of spaces will be available.

For women who are craving a softer rhythm.

For women who have spent years being productive, responsible, available, and holding everything together; and are quietly longing for a different rhythm. A few days to slow down, to create without pressurre and rest deeply. And to remember what it feels like to experience beauty, presence, and freedom again.

You don’t need to be an artist.
You don’t need experience.

Only the desire to slow down, create freely, and spend a few days differently.

Not a yoga retreat. Not a fitness program.

This retreat is about something else entirely: creativity, slowness, and making things with your own hands.

The structure is intentionally minimal…


* One breathwork session with
Irina Delich
* One soundhealing session with
Kirtan Sandeep

* Two creative sessions guided by me

The rest is space. Space to rest, to wander, to be with yourself.

A different rhythm.

You arrive in Mallorca.
The air is softer in October.
There is nothing you need to plan, nowhere you need to be.

Just a few days in the countryside, surrounded by quiet, nature, and space.

Mornings without urgency.
Time to create, conversations that unfold slowly.

A different rhythm.

From the moment you arrive.

Shared transfer from Palma airport are available for all guests. No need to think, organise, or figure anything out.

The experience begins the moment you land…slowly arriving, together.

Quieter. Softer. Slower.

The island shifts in autumn.
The light changes, the rhythm softens, and everything invites you to slow down.

It’s the perfect moment to step away and realign with what’s true for you.

Mallorca in October.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Not at all. This retreat is not about technique or producing a perfect painting. It’s about the experience of making something with your hands. Slowly, freely, and without judgment.

  • Absolutely, and most women do. The Quiet Return is designed to be a space where you arrive as yourself, not as someone’s partner, mother, or colleague.

  • There is no rigid schedule; that’s intentional. Each day has a gentle rhythm. The structure is minimal so that the space feels genuinely restorative rather than another thing to get through.

  • Everything you need is included. 3 night's accommodation, all meals prepared with local Mallorcan ingredients, two guided creative experiences, one breathwork session, one sound healing session, Mallorcan tea rituals, all art materials, curated products from selected slow living brands, and shared airport transfers from Palma.

  • The €500 deposit is non-refundable as it secures your place. The remaining balance is paid automatically in monthly installments on the 1st of each month. Final payment is on October 1st.

  • This retreat is not for you if you are looking for an intensive skill-based art course. We don’t teach technique here. It’s not for you if you need a packed schedule to feel like you’re getting value; the spaciousness IS the value.

    It is not for you if you’re not ready to slow down; this retreat asks you to be present, and that requires willingness.

This will be a small and intimate retreat, with limited spaces available.

A personal note

A woman with long brown hair, wearing a white long-sleeve shirt and white pants, is sitting on the floor next to a small wooden table. She rests her face in her hand and looks at the camera with a gentle smile. Behind her are several framed artworks leaning against the wall and a large white vase with tall dried pampas grass.

I’ve felt a growing need to create spaces for women that are slower, quieter, and more honest.

Spaces where you can step away from the noise and gently come back to yourself — in your own time, and in your own way.

As a visual artist and art therapist, I’m deeply drawn to the moments where creativity becomes something personal. Not something to achieve, but something to return to.

This retreat is not about becoming a different version of yourself. It’s about softening, letting go of pressure, and allowing things to unfold more naturally.

In many ways, it’s also part of my own process — learning to slow down, to trust, and to create from a more honest place.
