New retreat starting Easter 2022

Drawing in Wisdom. 

Walking new paths in the land of the Spanish mystics. 

A Good Grief Retreat with artist and writer Meg Robinson

 

An unforgettable week with notebooks or sketchbooks and cameras in beautiful rural Andalucía. Gentle or moderate walks – you choose. Silence. Laughter. Pool. Surrounded by nature. Guided by Meg Robinson and the poetry of Rilke, Kabir, Kahlil Gibran, Mary Oliver, John O’Donohue, David Whyte and 2 Spanish mystics. We'll explore and nourish new ideas for a future you never imagined possible.


Delicious locally grown organic food. Pool. Stargazing. Charming simple country accommodation. Reconnecting inner and outer worlds. One to one retreats. Partners welcome to share the beautiful environment and walk, or chill. 5 full days, two days travel.



Good Grief retreats are for men and women ready and willing to move forward towards a new life after bereavement.
 
Bereavement includes divorce/separation, miscarriage, abortion, loss of job, loss of country, loss of faith. Loss of joy, loss of direction or motivation.
  
Loss of the life we knew before Covid.



 

Is this really for me?

Photographers - phone cameras are perfectly adequate. Note- makers and journalers whether occasional or compulsive, yes. Poetry lovers, definitely yes. Wisdom searchers, yes.  Walkers from amblers to explorers all genuinely welcome. 

We have professional mountain guides for super active partners of participants, and an exceptional masseurs for everybody! We also offer an exceptional healing experience with a local much loved young Spanish shaman.

We're based in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains.



Does this resonate?



If you are willing to explore new parts of yourself, experience an awesome dawn and dusk walk with camera, be silent sometimes, soak in wisdom poems as a new kind of inner GPS, and much more, this holiday retreat is a way of  creating a renewed sense of life purpose by resetting the inner compass.



Meg Robinson has been offering Good Grief Retreats since 2003. She has a lifetime's commitment to helping others help themselves become more of their full potential through creativity, walking, and playful inner exploring.


There will be an online Zoom preliminary weekend course as a taster.

Much more info to follow.

Adios Bolivia

After a week back home in Spain, a part of me still hasn't arrived. It's such a strange feeling. A cross between yearning and pining and grief. A part of me was reluctant, not ready to leave Bolivia - that part is still there. And another part of me would like to get on the next plane and start all over again. Eyes wide open. More savvy. More alert. The ache is almost physical. A monastery near Pisac Peru. Easter Sunday at the monastery. Easter flowers candles and bread. Leaving small gifts and big smiles. After almost six weeks in Peru and Boliiva , back in my beautiful mountain village in Southern Spain, my heart aches, broods, craves, desires, dreams, grieves, hankers, languish for, sighs for, thirsts for, yearns for South America, and all its craziness, confusion, beauty and mystery. "Your soul knows the geography of your destiny. Your soul alone has the map of your future, therefore you can trust this indirect...

Stop-Expecting-Too-Much-from-People, Mrs!

At the end of a radio interview when  69 year old , Jewish, Hungarian born Canadian physician  Gabor Mate was asked ‘ is there more love in your life now?’  he paused. ‘I think there is more space in my heart for love,’  he said quietly.  I think  there is more space in our hearts for love when we pass 60. What we do with that space depends on lots of things. And sometimes that space shuts down ! This morning I was deeply disappointed with our village doctor, again. My heart door slammed shut. There seems to be  a Berlin Wall  wall between us. I cannot communicate with him without judging him, severely.   He speaks to me like I'm a teenager with many serious learning challenges. I see in front of me an  arrogant adolescent with mother issues!  LOL !! I thought I'd stopped judging people !! I'm angry that so many folk in our village seem to suffer, month after  month, year after year. Yes I know the ...
