4 DAY RETREAT FESTIVAL

MUSIC | GROWTH | WELLBEING | COMMUNITY | CELEBRATION
***For people located in Spain only
What if 4 days could change your life?
Our experience in Wakana Lake is a journey designed to inspire, transform, and equip you to lead with purpose. What sets our festival apart from other seemingly similar events is its intimate size. Limited to just 200 people, it offers an elevated boutique experience where transformation is profound, and connections are deep. You'll enjoy the best of both worlds—a retreat's rejuvenation and depth, and a festival's celebration. With a carefully curated program, you'll have the unique opportunity to interact and connect with facilitators, speakers, and artists, enhancing your personal growth journey. Join us for a truly special experience that fosters meaningful connections and lasting impact.
Picture this:
You step onto the beautiful grounds of Wakana Lake in Cádiz, and instantly, you feel it—a sense of calm washing over you. The lake sparkles under the sun, animals are peacefully grazing, and there’s this quiet that just lets you breathe deeply. For the next four days, you’re not just attending an event—you’re diving into a space where music hits you right in the heart, where workshops open up new ways of thinking, and where the connections you make feel genuine and real, like they’ve been waiting to happen.
The Journey Unfolds:
Over these four days, we’ll guide you through an evolving experience:
Day 1 Begin your journey with an Opening Ceremony and Live Concert as you arrive and settle in.
Day 2 focuses on self-awareness and personal health, setting the foundation for your transformation.
Day 3 dives into conscious relationships, the art of communication, and tantra, helping you connect on a deeper level.
Day 4 explores how you can be of service to others and lead with purpose, inspiring you to make a meaningful impact in your own community.
IMPRESSIONS FROM LAST YEAR’S 4 DAY FESTIVAL IN BONJUK BAY, TURKEY
WAKANA LAKE
Location
In the heart of Alcornocales Natural Park (Benalup-Cádiz), just 1 hour from Gibraltar, 40 minutes from Sotogrande, and 1.5 hours from Seville or Malaga, lies Wakana. Situated on a lake with three islands, Wakana is one of the most magical and protected natural enclaves of antiquity.
The surroundings of Wakana preserve remnants of legendary stories in its painted caves (Tajo de las Figuras) and a set of dolmens, which are witnesses to its origins in the early Neolithic era. There are also funerary structures carved into the rock in the shape of a human, believed to hold Phoenician remains from those who traded in these lands with Greeks and Tartessians. Researcher Alberto Porlán suggests that the mythical Tartessian city of "Atlantis" could have been based on a river island in its surroundings.
With such an extraordinary history and fascinating landscape, visitors to Wakana often describe it as a true source of energy and a temple to nature and fertility.
