Choose a course from one of five main groupings:

Discovering Cortijo Romero – if you’re thinking of visiting Cortijo Romero for the first time and not sure which course to choose, these weeks are ideal as you’ll get the chance to try a variety of things during the week. Typically, you’ll be able to attend sessions in yoga, tai chi and dance, as well as enjoying guided walks in the mountains. 

Wellbeing for Mind and Body – you might go home with a better posture, an improved clarity of mind, or feel more relaxed and at ease. You might have learnt something new to bring into your life, either deepening an existing practise or discovering a new one.

Personal Transformation and Change – courses designed to help you to address issues in your life. For example, you might feel the need for deeper, happier relationships, greater confidence or a clearer direction in life. These experiential weeks aim to help you to go home feeling more in tune with your needs and with the impetus to make changes.

Arts, Creativity and Expression - holidays containing singing, art, dance, photography, and writing can bring new creativity into your life. You may wish to learn or develop a particular skill, or you may wish to explore how to free up your creativity and live a fuller life, feeling freer in yourself.

Relax and Rejuvenate – there are times in life when you might just want and need a total rest. These weeks offer a variety of ways to stop, have some time to ‘be’, and give yourself a deep breather. Some weeks offer a variety of activities to choose from; there are also walking holidays at different times of year. Our aim is to help you to go home feeling renewed, nurtured and ready to return to daily life.
