A SANCTUARY IN MAGICAL MASCA

Quality level: ☀︎☀︎☀︎☀︎

Masca encapsulates the epitome of the natural beauty of Tenerife and Mandala de Masca encapsulates the healing power of such connection with nature and self.  Nestled into the hilly terrain, as one arrives at the retreat center, one feels an immediate groundedness like an extension of the rocks, with the landscape that surrounds and that earthy connection even when one is high above the sea beyond the valley.  Infusing back the nurturing and healing energies from their natural surroundings for her recovery from breast cancer and the nourishing fruits and vegetables form their garden, owners Marcello and Monique have transformed this unique gem of a place with so much loving kindness.  Their loving intentions ooze from every detail in the physical realms of the place and much beyond. 

“Surrounded by beautiful nature, birds singing in the valley, the clean oxygen, the freshness of the water directly from the spring, the shapes of the rocks, the light of the stars and the wide mountain views will help you to activate all of your senses to reconnect and find your love inside.”

Whether it is one of the many terraces overlooking the valley, stringing the 11 suites, including 4 single king rooms and 7 double occupancy rooms, a hammock, the poolside lounge, comfy lounge by the fireplace, you will find the perfect balance of tranquility dazzled with a sense of homecoming and belonging.  You are invited to surrender and let go of all the must do’s and just be, and know that you are so well taken care of here. 

At least twice a day we will gather either on an outdoor terrace or in the magnificent yoga shala overlooking the valley beyond which feels like it is suspended on the forest canopy -- where every breath opens and inspires your heart just a bit more.

Eunice’s current practice intention : “Know thyself. It is the study and practice of yoga as a whole, as well as that for sound healing that have really helped me on my own discovery journey.  It is thus my intention to share all that has brought me clarity and joy.”

A path to self-understanding - Yoga - can be practiced throughout the day.  When we cultivate awareness, every moment becomes an opportunity to go deeper into the practice. Whether through the mindful movement of asanas, the stillness of meditation, the resonance of chanting, or the immersion in a sound bath, each practice invites us to connect more deeply with ourselves. Journaling, contemplation, and heartfelt conversations will further weave together these practices, guiding us on a journey of profound reconnection with our inner essence.

Eunice is a Kundalini yoga teacher 200 hr RYT with Gurusingh & Brett Larkin at Kundalini University, and 300 hr Radiant Yoga master studies with Kia Miller, certified sound healing instructor specialising in Alchemy Crystal Singing Bowls.

She’s passionate about pranayama, mantra, mudra, meditation and sharing how all integrally work with the subtle layers of our being. Practices in this retreat are aimed to be an initiation to Kundalini yoga, welcoming all levels of practice. They will include body movements, breathworks, meditation, mantra and where appropriate, accompanied by the sounds of Alchemy Crystal Singing Bowls. Each sequence / kryia is designed to be a gift for you to take home as your personal daily practice fitting to your element and boosting your fire within.
