El Camino de Mi Alma - Journey of my soul

Santiago de Compostela - Fisterra

Recreate what is broken within you -Art Therapy creative Self-Awarness Retreat

22 - 27, Jun 2026.

I have been organizing retreats for 13 years but this is the most personal for me. I invite you to the most defining places of my soul and life.

I spent my 50th birthday alone on the Camino and I healed deeply in these places. I felt such a blessed and deep love for life that I had never felt before and I understood that everything that happens to us during our lives shapes us. Our wounds and spiritual scars are not mistakes to hide, but as a source of our greatest strength, they are huge opportunities to become better and truer people.

We create and recreate, shape and glue, draw and write, color and paint

In difficult life situations and crises, we feel broken. We all have those stages and stories in our lives when we feel like everything around us is falling to pieces. As a result of a traumatic event, "everything breaks", and our previously stable self-image, our value and belief system, in other words, the foundations of our lives, are shaken. The extent of our injury and pain varies from person to person; some people only have minor cracks, while others have to rebuild themselves and their lives from hundreds of pieces.

On a retreat, following the Japanese philosophy of kintsugi, we "glue together" the pieces of our broken feelings, soul, self-esteem and self-respect with creative, art therapy exercises and activities. 

The philosophy of Kintsugi is a perfect symbol of post-traumatic growth

The Japanese art technique of Kintsugi repairs broken ceramics, allowing us to put ourselves back together and gain wise life experiences that mature the soul. The Japanese technique is based on the philosophy of wabi-sabi, which promotes the acceptance of imperfection and transience. The emphasis on repairing broken ceramics and porcelain is also a philosophical approach, according to which breakage and repair are part of our human stories, which can make everything more valuable. The cracks in the ceramics are repaired with a varnish mixed with gold, silver or platinum powder, which gives the breakage a new, artistic beauty.

According to the Kintsugi philosophy, our wounds and injuries are a natural part of life's changes. However, by processing them correctly, they become a resource, bringing us closer to understanding our functioning and accepting ourselves. This is how we become an increasingly stable, softly strong and exciting personality, while the scars of our fractures define and color our personality, reshaping it into a new and unique one.

"The End of the World" Fisterra helps us to make a big restart. We re-evaluate and take stock of ourselves and our lives. It recharges and heals our spiritual traumas on deep levels, shapes our attitude and our entire value system towards Life with a capital letter and our own individual life stages in a deep integrative way.

Through the picturesque beauty of the secluded coves, the white sandy beach, the crystal clear azure ocean, the special shells, stones and rocks, and the captivating, unparalleled beauty of the coastline, we are imbued with the purest and deepest love of life at the cellular level.

You can rewrite the story of your life... 

When everything calms down inside you and around you, you slowly arrive at the moment when you realize that the pen of your life story and your future are in your hands. You can decide what will remain in the past and what will be the stable foundation of your future. By taking responsibility, in a more socially sensitive, more conscious, more empathetic way, without hurting ourselves and others, there is always a way and a way to act differently, more correctly, as a better person!
