Vagabonds of the Heart
A Journey into Deep Connection
The world feels unsteady. Old ways are unravelling. And in the midst of it all, there’s a quiet knowing inside us—a pull toward something deeper, something wilder, something true.
Vagabonds of the Heart is an invitation to follow that pull. In one of our retreats, you’ll step into nature—not as an observer, but as part of it.
In the spirit of Vagabonds of the Heart lies the ancient practice of pilgrimage—a journey both outward into the wild and inward toward deeper connection. Our retreats invite you to step away from the demands of daily life and weave together practical outdoor skills and spiritual exploration. Learn how to listen to the wisdom of the wild, rediscover your belonging, and find meaning in the more-than-human world.
This is for those who feel the ache of separation from the living world.
For those seeking a path back to something real and the skills to be able to do that with confidence.
“Come, come, whoever you are. Wanderer, worshipper, lover of leaving. It doesn’t matter. Ours is not a caravan of despair. Come, even if you have broken your vows a thousand times.” – Rumi
A Journey Back to Wildness in Mallorca
Contact Office for Future Dates
Step off the beaten path and into the wild beauty of the Serra de Tramuntana in Mallorca — a UNESCO World Heritage site where limestone peaks rise above ancient olive terraces, pine forests scent the air, and the Mediterranean stretches endlessly below. Winding footpaths lead through hidden valleys, rugged cliffs, and quiet mountain villages, offering a landscape shaped by both nature and centuries of human devotion.
This is not a retreat in the traditional sense. It is a pilgrimage of movement and presence—an invitation to reconnect with your body, the land, and the rhythms of the wild.
Over several days, we will hike mindfully through mountains and forests, exploring primal movement, deep breathing, and natural locomotion in untamed landscapes. With our bags carried ahead to the next mountain refuge, we are free to walk unburdened, fully present with the land beneath our feet.
Along the way, we will pause—to bathe in the stillness of the forest, to share nourishing Catalan meals, to rest in rustic hideaways under star-filled skies. In the evenings, craniosacral therapy and holistic massage (included in the retreat cost) will help restore balance to body and mind, aligning us with the deeper rhythm of the wild.
A basic level of walking fitness is required for this pilgrimage. If you are unsure, please check with Stefan for guidance.
