Return to Earth, Return to Self - A nature based initiation
Lesley and Veronica are hosting a deep-dive retreat in a remote place in the inner mountains of the south of Gran Canaria, with the intention of empowerment and connection to the Earth and your core essence. Are you looking for a space to deepen your connection with nature and with yourself? Do you feel the call to be initiated into sacred energy practices and to connect with a more powerful and loving version of yourself? We feel in our bones that, as humans and spiritual beings born in these times, we Are the change. This change comes from the Earth and from the light within each of us. We are living in times when the old is crumbling and the new has not yet fully taken form. Each of us carries a seed of transformation. What is your medicine? What is your song, your unique vibration? Are you ready to shine your light in these times of confusion, yet full of new possibilities? The new Earth is birthed through us. Lesley and Veronica open a loving and grounded space through energy work, Kundalini yoga, creation in nature, ceremony, voice and music, silence, and simplicity—to support the remembrance of the truth within. When we shift from trying to fix and heal to remembering that love has always been our true essence, life begins to unfold in a completely different way. Do you recognise this shift, or do you feel ready to explore it? Then this week is for you. WHAT TO EXPECT We will live simply, held by the richness of the surrounding nature and the privilege of connecting to a powerful place in the heart of this volcanic island. We move together as a small community, with the intention of unconditional love—for ourselves, for one another, and for all living beings. Each day begins in silence. Before breakfast, we awaken the body through a strong and empowering Kundalini yoga practice. During the day, the program varies between components such as: energy work, meditation, breathwork, creative expression in nature, community bonding, intuitive movement and earthkeepership practises. There will be a day dedicated to a mini vision quest, including a period of fasting. The food will be vegetarian, light, and nourishing, prepared with love by Paula to support this journey. DATES Arrival: October 5th from 11:00 Lunch will be provided and the opening of the week starts after a light dinner. We recommend arriving at the retreat place at least in the early afternoon to arrive and rest, connect with the land, and set up the provided tent. Closing: October 11th, after breakfast, with a shared closing and clearing of the space. TRAVEL We recommend flying to Gran Canaria (Las Palmas Airport). It is advisable to arrive on the island on October 4th so you can take your time traveling to the retreat location in the mountains the following day. We will support the organisation of carpooling and shared taxis, and a WhatsApp group will be created for participants to connect and coordinate. WHO ARE VERONICA AND LESLEY When they met each other 20 years ago during their art therapy studies, there was an immediate and strong recognition between them. Since then, they have both walked their unique paths and accompanied each other in important moments of their lives. In the last few years, they have been organising events and retreats in Holland, Gran Canaria, and France with much joy. Lesley Bohncke Lesley’s connection to nature is unique. At the age of 21, she followed her dream of living close to the Earth and moved to this magical volcanic island. Today, she lives in a cave house on a small piece of land in the mountains, where she cultivates her own food and creates as a textile artist using local wool from the island’s sheep. She passionately shares her experiences with her community: she guides them in making creations with raw materials in nature, and besides that, she shares energy work as a shamanic practitioner. Lesley has developed a deep connection to the energetics of the land and the

Past Reviews (optional)
The retreat with Veronica and Lesley was truly an incredible experience. By combining their strengths, they created a unique and profound journey that initiated a real transformation within me. The variety of practices and the diversity within the program complemented each other beautifully and naturally, which made the impact even deeper. The reintegration part was also incredibly valuable and connected seamlessly with the rest of the retreat. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I had lost the connection with myself and joined the retreat to find my way back home within. Kundalini yoga, conscious connected breathing, and LEAP were all completely new to me. Thanks to the safe and loving space that Veronica and Lesley created, I was able to fully surrender to the experience. All the ingredients were present for a deep transformation to unfold. I feel at home within myself again — grounded in my center and able to trust life enough to surrender once more. And I know these are only the first seeds that will continue to grow into the most beautiful version of my life. This retreat was truly a gift to myself. I could never have imagined how much it would bring me. My heart overflows with gratitude. Thank you, thank you, thank you, beautiful and loving women. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
