When Spanish explorers first encountered hummingbirds in Peru, they called them joyas voladoras: "flying jewels." The hummingbird was revered as a sacred healer, a guardian of plants, the spirit, and those who needed healing or were training as healers themselves.
That is why the hummingbird has become the symbol of our Centre too.
Stay with us in one of the most peaceful and unspoiled parts of rural Spain, and you will find a relaxing and invigorating space where you can escape from ‘normal’ life into a more magical one where time slows down and you have the space to breathe, dream, heal, explore and allow your spirit to flourish as you enjoy the breathtaking scenery of our beautifully tranquil mountain setting – and one of the sunniest and most welcoming climates in Europe.
As a guest or participant on one of our courses we also offer you a wide range of healing therapies and treatments, including massage, hot stone therapy, reiki, and crystals, and outstanding training in the arts of shamanism, soul retrieval, Thai herbal massage, Indian head massage, plant spirit shamanism, yoga, dance, creative writing - and many others - with courses taught by some of the world’s best-known and respected teachers.
Delightfully natural, rustic and homely accommodation, delicious healthy food, peace, quiet and relaxation, and a superb range of personal development, healing and holistic courses combine to make The Hummingbird Retreat Centre one of the jewels of Spain.
