LÉPHIINE’s Retreat:
A Return to Self
Join us for a weekend
to come home to yourself.
A 4-day immersive retreat for ambitious women that are ready to reconnect with their inner world to embody their truth and express themselves fully.
About The Retreat
You will leave this retreat feeling clearer, more embodied, and deeply connected. To yourself and to the women you’ve shared this journey with.
LÉPHIINE is hosting its first carefully curated and immersive experience for ambitious women who are no longer willing to choose between professional success and inner fulfillment.
This is the first retreat in Barcelona that brings together professional growth, spiritual and emotional depth, body-based practices, mindful leadership, and authentic self-expression. All held in one intentional and beautiful space.
A retreat where Mind, Body, Spirit, and Work meet.
Over the course of a long weekend, you will be guided through a journey that is designed as a natural, intuitive flow. A journey that mirrors the way real and lasting transformation happens.
We begin by turning inward. Slowing down. Creating space to reconnect with your inner voice. The one that often gets suppressed by expectations, deadlines, and the need for constant output.
From this calm place, you will be invited to explore and release emotional and energetic blocks that might be stored in your body.
The journey then moves into embodiment. Cultivating confidence, self-trust, and a grounded sense of leadership that comes from within. You will explore what mindful leadership truly means in your career, your relationships, and the way you show up in the world.
Finally, you will be supported in expressing yourself fully and authentically. Finding language, presence, and confidence to communicate your truth, your vision, and your value. Both personally and professionally.
This retreat is not about fixing yourself. It is about remembering who you are. It is A Return to Self.
This Retreat Is For You If
You are ambitious and driven, yet crave more depth and alignment
❋
You feel called to reconnect with your intuition, body, and emotional world
❋
You want to grow in confidence, self-trust, and mindful leadership
❋
You crave meaningful conversations and genuine connection with like-minded women
❋
You are ready to express yourself more confidently in your work, relationships, and life
❋
A Return to Self is the first retreat in Barcelona that brings together professional growth, spiritual and emotional depth, body-based practices, mindful leadership, and authentic self-expression. All held in one intentional, and beautiful space.
This retreat is designed to return to self by flowing naturally between guided sessions and free time to rest, reflect, and enjoy the villa and its surroundings.
The experience follows a journey:
❋ Thursday: Arrival, grounding, and intention setting
❋ Friday: Self-exploration, mindset, ambition without burnout, and mindful leadership
❋ Saturday: Embodiment, release, and integration
❋ Sunday: Expression, clarity, and conscious closing
You will be guided by a carefully selected group of facilitators across mindset, leadership, embodiment, breathwork, and self-expression. Bringing a unique and large variety of diverse perspectives into an intimate environment.
Note: Of course, we would love for you to join in on everything, but you are always free to take time for yourself if needed or desired.

The Location
Our retreat takes place in a beautiful private villa just 1.5 hours outside Barcelona. It has a large garden and various outdoor areas for solitude and connection. The natural pool is perfect for rest and refreshment. There are enough intimate indoor spaces for workshops and circles, and the villa offers different room types and sleeping options.
Founder’s Note
Hi there,
I can’t believe I’m writing this, but it’s finally happening! Just 1.5 hours outside Barcelona, we come together in a beautiful private villa for an intimate 4-day retreat. We will be blending ambition with spirituality, meaningful conversations with laughter, and growth with deep, genuine connection. It’s like a dream come true.
I created this retreat because I missed a space that truly brings everything together. A retreat that honors work and ambition and depth and mindfulness, without fragmenting the experience. I don’t want to have to attend different retreats to fulfill different needs. By inviting multiple facilitators into one weekend, in one place, we get to tap into an incredible and unique variety of wisdom and expertise, all woven into one weekend.
This is not your usual yoga retreat, a surf retreat, or a journaling retreat. It is a carefully curated journey designed to guide you back home to yourself, through a thoughtful combination of practices that speak to mind, body, and spirit.
Together with the facilitators, I am ready to put my heart and soul into this and I can’t wait to share a special weekend with you.
With love,
Phé
Your Facilitators
Phéline Grawden
Founder and facilitator
Ester Merja
Yoga instructor
Marta is a deeply curious woman who devotes her work to being of service, as a breathwork facilitator and coach.
Through facilitating breathwork journeys, she guides people in releasing emotional and energetic blocks held in the body, creating space for more ease, clarity, and freedom. Her sessions support a shift from holding and tension into presence, movement, and embodied openness.
Her work is informed by a deep sensitivity to people, a love for exploration, and a strong connection to nature. She creates sessions that feel safe, spacious, and deeply human.
Phéline is the founder of LÉPHIINE and she created this retreat as a space where ambition and inner work can exist side by side.
During the retreat, Phéline will host and guide many of the connective moments that shape the weekend: opening and closing circles, a cacao ceremony, meditations and journaling exercises, creative expression sessions, and energizing movement. Her role is to hold a safe and grounded space where participants can slow down, tune in, and express themselves freely. Her approach is intuitive, warm, and down-to-earth.
Mollie Wilson
Private chef
Catrine Bergeron
Expression & Communication coach
Catrine is a California native who came to Barcelona to learn Spanish, while teaching English, but she never went back! That was 30 years ago.
After a lifetime of working and socializing between cultures, and 10 years of experience in the world of public speaking, her passion is guiding women who have something meaningful to say yet struggle to express it fully and freely. Her specialty is those incredibly smart talented women in the world (we’re talking to you!) with a message to share (whether in the workplace or in everyday life) who feel blocked.
Catrine will host a 3-hour immersive session dedicated to expression and communication as a pathway to authenticity. She will support us in reconnecting with our natural voice and learning how to express ourselves with clarity, confidence, and truth. In meetings, presentations, and everyday moments that matter.
Daniela Galarza is a Momentum Activator: a strategic advisor and coach who helps high-performing professionals turn their expertise into real opportunities. Born in Ecuador and shaped by a life lived across continents, she knows firsthand what it means to build belonging from scratch. Community has always been her anchor. In recent years, her own personal development journey led her to build her own company.
At A Return to Self, Daniela will guide In Her Words, a connection experience built on a simple truth: we describe the women we love with ease and generosity, but when it comes to ourselves, we shrink. This session creates the conditions for women to be truly seen, perhaps in a way they haven't experienced before.
Daniela Galarza
Connection facilitator
Mollie is an experienced retreat chef who has cooked for some of Barcelona’s most well-known yoga and wellness retreats. We feel very lucky to have her with us for the entire weekend!
She will take care of all meals, snacks, and drinks, making sure we are well fed, well hydrated, and nourished with the yummiest food throughout the retreat.
Assumpta Munsi
Mindset facilitator
Assumpta is a voice and communication coach with 18 years of professional opera performance behind her: a background that informs the way she understands expression, presence, mindset, and the power of the voice.
Through The VoiceShop, she works with ambitious women and founders to help them communicate with clarity, confidence, and authenticity. Not by performing, but by reconnecting to who they truly are. Her work goes beyond technique, guiding women to feel safe being seen and heard, in the workplace and beyond.
At the retreat, Assumpta will guide us through a powerful mindset session exploring the subtle patterns that keep high-achieving women playing small and the practical tools to interrupt them. Her approach is both grounded and transformative, offering a space to expand how we show up, speak up, and take up space in our lives and careers.
Marta Soto
Breathwork instructor
Ester is a yoga teacher that offers dynamic, vinyasa-based classes that blend mindful flow, conscious breathwork, and moments of stillness.
Rooted in curiosity, playfulness, and embodied awareness, her teaching invites students to move with joy while building strength and resilience within a safe and inclusive space.
At A Return to Self, she will guide energizing yet grounding practices designed to support emotional balance, nervous system regulation, and a deeper sense of self-awareness. Both on and off the mat.
Heather Figallo
Mindful leadership facilitator
With over two decades of experience at the highest executive level, Heather brings a rare perspective on what it truly means to lead, grow, and evolve within the corporate world. Having worked with global brands like Coca-Cola, Procter & Gamble, and most recently serving as CTO at Vueling Airlines, she is definitely an inspiration.
At the retreat, Heather will guide us through an intimate and powerful session on ambition, mindful leadership, and navigating corporate spaces as women. She represents a version of what is possible: a woman who has not only built an extraordinary career, but has done so while staying connected to her values and vision.
Her session is an invitation to reflect on how we define success, how we lead (ourselves and others), and how we take up space in environments that weren’t always built for us. Expect honest insights, practical wisdom, and the kind of perspective that only comes from someone who is a few chapters ahead.
Nourishment
During the retreat, our private chef Mollie will prepare fresh and nourishing meals for us each day. The menus are designed to support your energy and focus throughout the weekend and all dietary preferences and requirements can be accommodated, just let us know in advance.
Drinks are included, both non-alcoholic and alcoholic, with wine and cava available in the evenings. Snacks and small treats are available throughout the day, so you’ll never be hungry. If you’re missing a specific milk or small treat, we will happily arrange it.
