During your retreat you will have the opportunity to explore the incredible surrounding areas of Las Alpujarras with qualified, interesting and entertaining mountaineering guides, Jens & Andy. These guys have been running expeditions and walking trips up in the incredible Sierra Nevada and Las Alpujarra mountain ranges for decades, and know the area like the back of their hands. They are highly qualified and skilled mountaineers.

They work with our retreat personally to curate a bespoke adventure in the Spanish mountains.

What You Can Expect:

• Collection from our retreat centre in a 4×4 Land Rover
• A beautiful drive up into the mountains along winding roads and tracks
• A whole wealth of facts and information as we ascend 3 hours of walking in the mountains (easy - moderate difficulty depending on group requirements), including optional wild-swimming in fresh water pools!
• See the stunning white villages of the Alpujarras – the area where the witches from the nearby cities created their homes hundreds of years ago, and that still hold potent energetic wisdom now – you can truly feel it!

If you can, we highly recommend partaking in this excursion. You will be blown away by the beauty.

Sophie, a local medicinal herbalist, will share her knowledge of the natural world that grows around us. Detailing the medicinal properties of the wild herbs and plants during a walk in the hills surrounding House Of Light. The walk itself is medicinal but when you know the plants and remember them every time they pass by you, walks can become magical experiences. It is something that always excites Sophie, to look at the abundance of useful plants that grow around us. She invotes you to explore them together! The walk is around 3 hours, and is very gentle; discovering the local area.
