momentum
pilates & slow living retreat
september 29
- october 2
The people, places and moments that carry us forward.
Let's hold onto summer just a little longer and gather for four days designed to celebrate the season we've shared and create momentum for everything that's still to come.
Set in the peaceful surroundings of Son Rullan, a beautifully restored monastery nestled in the hills of Deià, Mallorca, these days invite you to move, connect, create and simply enjoy the beauty of being together. Expect energising Pilates sessions, nourishing meals shared around a long table, meaningful conversations, sound baths, creative workshops, golden hikes through the Tramuntana mountains and slow evenings that linger long after sunset.
A retreat for those who believe that the right people, beautiful places and unforgettable moments have the power to change the way we move through life.
You'll carry the feeling home with you long after the retreat ends, so let's keep the momentum going.

Alena (@aldente) is the founder of Casa Figuera, a sanctuary in Mallorca dedicated to slow living, creativity and wellbeing.
After leaving the corporate world behind, she created a space where people can reconnect with themselves through nature, movement and mindful experiences. Her approach beautifully blends pilates, yoga, restorative movement, sound healing and creative expression, always guided by presence, intuition and care.
As co-host of the momentum Retreat, Alena will lead our movement classes and sound bath sessions and she will also guide her famous natural silk dyeing workshop, a creative experience inspired by the colours, plants and landscapes of Mallorca.
With her calm presence and thoughtful way of holding space, Alena invites us to embrace a softer pace of life, one rooted in creativity, wellbeing and meaningful connection.
Rahel (@rahel.kubach) is a creative soul, a thoughtful host, and a connector at heart.
With a love for artful places, movement, beauty and community, she founded Cielo Collective as a way to weave together everything she cherishes most.
For her, human connection is the essence of life.
She finds joy in creating spaces that feel like home - spaces where people feel seen, inspired and free to simply be themselves.
After ten years in the beauty and fashion industry, she decided to press pause and lean into something slower, softer and more intentional.
Today, she lives somewhere between Düsseldorf's rhythm and Mallorca's breeze, embracing the beauty of slow living, creative exploration and meaningful gatherings.
Through CIELO, she invites others to do the same.

Merel & Sofia, founders of Shen Shala, move through food as a living expression of care, presence, and connection.
For them, nourishment extends far beyond the plate. It is a way of relating to the body, the earth, and the subtle rhythms that shape how we feel, gather, and remember ourselves.
Throughout the retreat, they weave a culinary experience that feels both grounding and awakening. Rooted in seasonal ingredients, thoughtful sourcing, and intuitive creation, each meal is designed to nourish body, mind, and energy alike.
Through shared tables, sensory rituals, and consciously curated workshops, they invite a deeper relationship with food. One that feels gentle, liberating, and profoundly supportive.
An invitation to slow down.
To taste with presence.
To reconnect through the simplicity, beauty, and depth of nourishment.
Merel and Sofia, founders of Shen Shala, creating nourishing Mediterranean cuisine for the Momentum Pilates & Slow Living Retreat in Mallorca with a focus on seasonal ingredients, holistic wellbeing and mindful nourishment.
where we'll stay
a new house we have not hosted a retreat in before,
but the same energy of our signature retreats...
Nestled in the peaceful hills of Deià, our mountaintop villa is a beautifully restored 13th-century monastery surrounded by the breathtaking landscapes of Mallorca's Tramuntana mountains. Full of history, warmth and quiet beauty, it offers the perfect setting to slow down, reconnect and gather in good company. With its sun-drenched terraces, timeless architecture and inviting communal spaces, the house feels less like a hotel and more like a home away from home.
a typical day:
wake up slowly to the gentle sound of sheep in the distance and the scent of incense drifting through the house. Begin your morning in silence with the first hot drink of the day before meeting on the mat for an energising Pilates class. Share a long, nourishing brunch, followed by a creative workshop, a hike through the Tramuntana mountains or simply time to rest by the pool. Enjoy a wholesome afternoon snack before gathering again for a second movement session or a surprise workshop, depending on the rhythm of the day. As the sun begins to set, we'll come together around one long, beautifully set table for dinner, before ending the evening with a sound bath, a wellbeing workshop or quiet moments under the Mallorcan sky.
this retreat is for:
...the creatives and the curious. For those who feel most alive surrounded by beautiful places and kind people. For anyone who loves slow Pilates mornings, long hikes through nature, spontaneous swims, nourishing food shared under the open sky and conversations that linger long after the table has been cleared. For those who believe that life is made of moments worth collecting.

How do I get to Mallorca and to the retreat property?
