Embark on a journey of self-discovery and inner peace. Check below for 2025 retreats that are now open for booking:

Carlos and Emma and my retreat experience went Way beyond anything I could have imagined! I can't even begin to describe the amazing experience I had with Carlos and Emma of Mindful Universe. The retreat was so well thought out, and they paid attention to every single detail to make the experience even better for every single participant. Even though each participant was from a different part of the world, Carlos and Emma created an atmosphere where we all became a family. Our accommodation was absolutely spectacular, high on a mountaintop with an incredible view and soon a brand new pool. The owners of the hotel took great care of us and prepared exquisite local cuisine using fresh local ingredients and perfectly prepared homemade pastries, homemade jams, etc. Everything was so fresh and delicious! Honestly, this is one of The Best retreats I have been on and I can't recommend Carlos and Emma enough. Sign up for one of their programs, you will be will be happy you did! Grazie mille, Carlos and Emma!
