Delight Your Senses
and come home to your body
A Women’s Yoga & Nature Therapy Retreat in Spain
June 17th-24th, 2025
You have been longing to feel AMAZING in your body… To DELIGHT in your senses and to RELISH your human experience.
But life has been F-U-L-L O-N lately, and your body and spirit feel tired and depleted from the constant demands and attention required by children, partnership, and home. Even though you actually really love your life, sometimes it’s hard to actually FEEL the gratitude you hold in your heart for all of your blessings.
It pains you to feel disconnected from your heart.
You get glimpses of reconnection at your yoga or pilates classes, but you want something more.
You know there’s a level of support and renewal that’s only available from being held; not just in sisterhood or through your practice, but by the lands and nature beings themselves—beings that are just waiting for you to hear, feel, and wonder at their love and wisdom.
It’s time for you to connect.
To yourself, your heart, your soul, your senses… to your sense of belonging in your own body.
But… connection?? UGH.
Connection doesn’t always feel accessible or even desirable when you’ve been touched out, numbed out, distracted, and over-stimulated by screens, socials, netflix, and notifications. Even when it’s positive stuff (you’ve screened out most of the bullshit), there’s still a LOT that competes for your attention.
You are the friend everyone reaches out to.
You are the emotional bedrock of your family.
You are the creative problem-solver.
You are active and generally get in your steps/reps/practice time.
You are capable.
Well, guess what?
It’s YOUR turn to get taken care of…
In ways that go far beyond what an hour-long yoga class, a girls trip, or family vacation can offer to you.
There is a place in Western Spain—amidst a valley of waterfalls and cherry trees—where each of your senses can find the pleasure, delight, and connection they crave.
Where the breezes wash your energy clean and the birdsong sounds unfamiliar and enlivening.
Where the scent of rain-washed hills and ancient stones underfoot ground your body and help you sync with the speed of soul.
Where the flavors of wild-caught seafood and Spanish spices excite your tongue and movement medicine brings strength and flexibility to your limbs.
A place to joyfully and gently come alive again…
Dive into the poetry of the world…
Over the Summer Solstice—after a journey through the Spanish mountains and valleys outside of Madrid, 10 women will gather to remember who they really are.
For 7 days and 7 nights, we will nourish every aspect of our beings as we journey through the senses and gently awaken our aliveness.
We will enjoy daily yoga practice, delicious local cuisine prepared by our private chef, and delight in the abundant natural beauty surrounding us.

Meet Your Guides
Lola L’Amour has been leading transformational retreats around the world for 11 years. She believes humans were designed to create and steward beauty in this world, but we have lost our way and forgotten how to live Life As Art… Her work is held with reverence and irreverence, and brings about nothing less than a total life shift.
As a medicine woman, an embodied storyteller, a sacred stylist and space designer, and an ANFT-certified Nature Therapy guide, Lola is uniquely equipped to help you overcome your resistance, activate your senses, and embrace what FULL ALIVENESS looks, feels, and sounds like to you. Lola is a fiery catalyst, a lover of life, a wife + mother, and a champion of the wild feminine.
She is also the founder of Anima Mystery School, author of the sold-out Wild Messengers Tarot, and will be releasing a new podcast (her 4th!) in 2025.
Lola brings an energy of relentless joy and freedom of expression. She is excited to bring this journey to life with the support of her longtime friend (and favorite yoga instructor), Shelby Clark.
Lola has been practicing yoga under the guidance of Shelby Clark (RYT-200) for two years, and has found deep resonance with Shelby’s style of teaching, her creative movement sequences, and her devotion to (imperfectly) embodying the principles of yoga on & off the mat.
Shelby’s playful, open, and inquisitive spirit offers infectious energy, and her down-to-earth realness makes her a powerful friend and soul sister.
Lola is thrilled to be able to share (and receive!) Shelby’s incredible gifts at this retreat, including sensory-activation asana, restorative yin, meditation, and yoga nidra.
When Shelby isn’t teaching yoga and meditation, you’ll find her baking sourdough snickerdoodles, headed out on a camping adventure, snuggling with her two kids, and enjoying the good life she’s built with her husband in Fallbrook, California.
“Although I’ve had the pleasure to receive guidance from Lola in the past, arriving at her retreat space was the first time I felt her magic in the flesh, and I am not exaggerating when I say the experience she created was life-altering.
Lola is so authentic in her words and actions that I was immediately at ease in her presence, and every aspect of the retreat was lovingly planned, from our cozy shelter and healing spaces to the delightful and nourishing meals. She effortlessly owned her power as our leader while remaining on our level to keep us safe every step of the way, and her true gift as a healer was evident in every breath, song, and touch that moved through her during our circle work.
The space Lola held allowed us all to embark upon a journey that had us opening, shifting, and releasing in ways we never could have imagined, and I left the experience with a full body knowing of truths I had only glimpsed before – a knowing I trust has been imprinted on my soul.”

Frequently Asked Questions
How much yoga experience do I need to have?
Shelby will design our asana practices to best suit the level and experience of our group. You can plan on a blend of vigorous/activating flows and restorative sessions; all with delicious and supportive adjustments as needed (and with consent, of course).
All yoga sessions are entirely optional, but recommended so that you can receive the full spectrum of integrative support this retreat offers your body, mind, and spirit.
If you have mobility issues or injuries, please let me know on your application, as this may not be the best retreat for you.
After reviewing your application and completing your interview, I may recommend a different retreat or experience to best honor your body’s needs.
What is Forest Therapy?
Lola will be offering Forest Therapy experiences throughout our time together, based on her training and certification as a Nature and Forest Therapy Guide with ANFT.
Forest Therapy offers a simple but beautiful process that empowers you to momentarily leave behind the stories of the “tamed world”— aka our normal everyday existence—and connect with the stories of the “wild world”—aka the wisdom and validity of the more-than-human world; the trees, animals, plants, clouds, and even the quality of light can become our most reliable, loving, and wise teachers.
It is not a vigorous hike nor is it a wildlife biology lesson… But nevertheless, the health benefits of Forest Therapy have been validated through countless studies, and include reduced blood pressure, reduced anxiey and depression, improved heart rate variability, better blood oxygenation, lowered cortisol, and much more.
You can read more about Lola’s work as a Nature and Forest Therapy Guide HERE.
What kinds of rituals and ceremonies are included?
You can expect a holistic blend of rituals and ceremonies, emerging from Lola’s longtime devotion to her Spiritual practices and lineage of healing arts.
We will work with tarot cards, sacred storytelling, visionary meditations, earth altar making, Authentic Movement™, embodied arts, and more.
Specific details regarding ceremonies and rituals will be confirmed to all registered guests.
Do I need to be a Woman to attend?
Yes. The intention of this retreat is to support women in connecting both to their true selves and with other women who are like-spirited. We use the term “women” to include all humans who identify as a woman, including non-binary and trans women.
For many women, friendships with other women have been charged, toxic, and damaging. It can be hard to trust that other women will truly have your back and will welcome and receive you for ALL that you are; your light and your shadows, your gifts and your imperfections.
Women need a sacred space to recalibrate, amongst others who understand the unique beauty, joys, and frustrations of life as a female. I believe that when women suffer, our society as a whole suffers… and when women heal, our society heals.
If you are not a woman and desire a similar experience, please make sure you’re on my email list to stay in the loop about other upcoming retreat offerings.
What will be the group size?
We are curating a very intimate group of just 8 women + Shelby and Lola for this experience. There will be plenty of opportunities for both interaction / connection time as well as space for solitude and reflection.
After the retreat sells out, we will open a wait list in the rare case that there’s a cancellation and a space reopens.
What is the cancellation policy?
If you need to cancel your space before March 15th, 2025, any payments made—aside from your non-refundable deposit—will be refunded to you in full.
50% of all payments received (less the deposit) will be refunded if you need to cancel between March 16th and May 15th, 2025.
There will be no refunds for any cancellations after May 15th, 2025.

Our retreat officially opens on the evening of June 17th, 2025.
You are welcome to arrive to the Madrid Airport anytime prior and explore the city on your own before making your way to our luscious landing pad apartment in the heart of La Latina in downtown Madrid.
Directions from the airport or train station are simple and straightforward.
Upon confirming your space, we’ll be happy to assist with clarity around your travel logistics.
Is there a payment plan?
Yes! If you will not be paying in full to reserve your space, we will happily arrange for a payment plan that meets your needs.
The total balance due must be paid in full by June 1st, 2025.
Do I need a Visa?
No. As long as you’re in Spain for less than 90 days, you will not need a Visa.
