Testimonials from past Serenity Calling participants
“The warmth and personability of both Jacqueline and Martin towards me, somebody completely new they had just met, just made me gain hope in this bleak world” Kiana, UK.
“The Yoga classes were interesting and the space was really exceptional. I really felt a difference in my core stability afterwards, and got some useful tips on many poses.” Emilia, Spain.
Holistic Massage and Reflexology
A session includes a free 30 minute consultation on health and wellbeing. Treatments range from a 60 minute reflexology session to a 90 minute “Touch of Light” full body massage.
Jacqueline has worked in bereavement support and has a special interest in supporting those suffering from grief.
Meditation and Silence
Whether you are new to meditation or already practicing, meditation is a key element to any retreat. We offer an introductory course for beginners which is usually given in 4 classes of 2 hours each, with time for practice in between. This allows time for discussion and questions about establishing a regular practice. We also offer guidance for those with more experience.
It may include periods spent in silent contemplation or walking meditation in the gardens or on a mountain trail.
“The silent time was incredibly useful, to have some time alone to re-charge, and to allow other things to arise” Fiona, Uk
“I thought it was impossible for me to stop thinking about everyday duties. But this time I think I really got it right! I don’t have much experience in meditating but if the classes in Silvana worked for me, they could work for anyone” Emilia, Spain
The essence of our Meditation teaching is simplicity
Connecting to Nature
The gardens of Silvana, extending over 20,000m2, have a huge variety of trees, flowers and water features. We encourage you to be outside as much as possible to allow Nature to balance and replenish you. We have created secluded spots to listen to the wonderful birdsong and there’s plenty of energising sunshine throughout the year.
Yoga / Exercise
Martin offers yoga classes in the studio or on our fabulous wooden deck in the gardens. Classes are Hatha based but also influenced by other styles. They are suitable for all levels, from beginner to the more advanced practitioners. Individual advice sessions on personal exercise programmes also available. Guests are also welcome to join him and Ruby on their daily morning jog.
“The new yoga deck is absolutely outstanding, located near the pond and the bamboo grove in the back garden, it feels like there is a holistic connection between the spirit of Silvana and this new outdoor area that holds a space for wonderful body, mind and soul experiences” Christian, Germany.
Walks in the Serra Tramuntana
Silvana is surrounded by stunning mountain views. Not surprisingly, many guests wish to explore the mountains they see.
Martin has located several beautiful walking trails through the mountains to uplift the spirits and inspire you. Mallorca has peaks of over 1000m if you want to get above the clouds, or a range of gentler slopes and coastal walks, if preferred.
Light Dance
Jacqueline has developed a form of dance and movement to release tension, stiffness and stagnant energy, based on her experience of dance and holistic therapy. It is a gentle method to encourage greater flow both in physical movement and creative expression.
“Jacqueline opened up a space I felt safe in, and I was able to release everything and get lost in the movement of my body listening to what wanted to be expressed” Christian, Germany
