The
Experience
Surrender & Serenity is a transformational retreat designed to support nervous system recalibration and realignment with your soul’s path. We are here to walk with you as you surrender your fears, worries, doubt, and pain to gain serenity in your whole being.
Getting out of the every day, we will spend five immersive days exploring the powerful triad of mind, body, and soul. With daily chakra yoga to attune you to your body, we work on multidimensional levels to release stored tension and trauma, restore balance, and reconnect you with your inner wisdom.
"This is not about fixing yourself.
This is about remembering who you are beneath the noise."
Through activating yet grounding workshops, embodiment practices, and a profound excursion day doing grid work in the mountains, this retreat creates space for deep restoration, healing, and personal transformation.
Authenticity is at the heart of our events—we keep it real. There are no pedestals here; we walk the walk right beside you. We intentionally create safe, welcoming spaces where genuine connection naturally unfolds. Through shared experiences, open-hearted conversations, and moments of vulnerability, lasting bonds are formed that stay with you long after the retreat ends.
The Rhythm of
Connection
Beyond the internal work, true integration happens in the presence of others. Our retreats are designed to foster profound, authentic community.
From walking the sun-drenched trails of Crete with like-minded souls, to gathering around the sacred fire at night for a rhythmic drumming circle, you will find spaces to laugh, share, and be held by the collective energy of the group.
A Space Held With Care
Our retreats are intentionally created spaces where people can feel safe to explore, reflect, and grow.
Everything we offer is guided with care, presence, and respect for each individual’s journey.
You are always invited to participate in the way that feels right for you.

Every retreat is shaped not only by the location and the teachings, but by the people who hold the space.

Together they create an environment where guests feel supported, safe, and able to explore their own journey of transformation.
Each member of the team holds a different role — from guiding workshops and holding energetic space, to supporting the practical and logistical elements that allow the retreat to flow smoothly.

Lucy
Lucy moved from the UK 15 years ago looking for a warmer climate and a slower way of life. She moved with her husband to Lanzarote in the Canary Islands where they set up their small massage clinic in a small fishing village just 2km up the road from an international sports resort.
Prior to the move Lucy worked for 10 years as a fitness class instructor and personal trainer where she specialized in rehabilitation following injury or time off and strength training being trusted by some well known names in the sports industry.
Lucy´s spiritual journey was a slow burn but was developing enough to be divinely guided to join Anya´s Spain retreat in 2023 and it's been a steep learning curve since then.
In her day-to-day work Lucy enjoys treating a wide range of clients of different nationalities, ages and occupations and due to the proximity of the sports resort she also has the privilege of working with professional athletes including World Champions and Olympian's of various disciplines.
As wonderfully rewarding as this is, Lucy shines best when she's helping someone to heal, whether that means physically or emotionally and spiritually by bringing her energy work into the massage treatment.
Lucy´s other passions are her animals; she has two horses and two dogs which are her babies.
