Thanks for this magical experience!

After the birth of my daughter and all the weight of becoming a mother, I wanted to reconnect to my body again.

I was searching for exactly this: Dance, Body Wisdom, Andalusia, it was just the perfect match 🙂

After these miraculous days with Pingel and Peter I feel happier and more connected to my body. I feel like I have gained a lot of wisdom during this week, exceeding anything they promised in advance. I loved the way Pingel and Peter lovingly took care of us. I felt in very good & warm hands. Thanks so much for this magical experience!

This is just an amazing place to stay, enjoy the wonderful conversations with these two and the incredible food they make. Fall into the dance and embrace your own inner body wisdom. This is for sure the right place to do so.

I chose this retreat because of the location, it being woman-focused and the focus on the body as a source of wisdom.

I had a beautiful time at this retreat. I felt totally transported out of my daily life and enveloped in a warm, authentic, loving hug!  The program consisted of practices I had never encountered before and were life-changing in terms of my body awareness. I look at my body with more compassion and love, working with any limitations rather than trying to fight against them and fail.  

Pingel’s style is one of ‘show, don’t tell’, by showing us the joy and playfulness she found in what works for her. This was incredibly inspiring for me. Also, she encourages you to find and trust your own truth and wisdom, which is different for everyone. 

The whole retreat space was held so well by Peter and Pingel that I felt looked after, honored, and loved. Amazing food, excursions, great conversation, perfect accommodation (I stayed in the bell tent so I could hear the crickets and the nightingale at night 😊) and a well-planned program… I am already saving to go back for more!!! Thank you so much, beautiful Pingel and Peter

A retreat for resourcing, resting and challenging yourself

I wanted to get out of my head and find some confidence in my body.
I was pulled toward this retreat as it focused on movement and creativity, both things that feel I need more of in my life.

The background of the teacher, the location of the retreat, as well as the rural feeling given in the photos all attracted me.

We moved and danced twice a day, often in ways that my body wasn’t used to.This was very liberating, and I’ve come home feeling more of a connection with my body.

There were daily (creative or reflective) sessions, along the theme of the day, which fed into the evening dance session. I felt challenged emotionally at several points, but I also always felt supported and safe. 

The food was also excellent – healthy, colorful, and carefully prepared – so I also feel healthy, as well as motivated to try new dishes at home.

The retreat is pretty intimate (depending on how many people sign up). We were two and were effectively welcomed into Pingel and Peter’s home, and made to feel like part of the family (along with dog, cats, and chickens). They were very attentive to our requests.

It was a privilege to be invited onto their beautiful farm and to share their dream with them, if only for a few days.

A week of discovering my true self

I chose this retreat because I was looking for a dancing retreat in a sunny place.

The dance therapy was great. Really helped me to step into a more confident self and I feel much stronger since then. It goes really deep. Not easy always but definitely worth the work.

It was a very nice and pleasant week with Pingel and Peter. They took really good care of us, I felt accepted and I could fully concentrate on my healing. Pingel is a very good therapist, all we did together helped me so much.

The food was great and the environment too (including cats, a dog, and hens :)) definitely recommend to everyone.
