PLANTS OF THE QURAN
July 1st to the 6th 2026
- Mallorca, Spain -
Join us in this beautiful haven suspended in time, between the sea and acres of olive groves, for an intimate retreat that unites sacred plants, spiritual ecology, and deep earth connection as a way to live more intentionally aligned with the earth.
Nestled beneath the archaic eaves of a monastery, where each weathered stone whispers tales of centuries gone by, lies a sanctuary built on ancient Muslim grounds, where time seems to stand still amidst the tranquil cloisters.
Originally constructed in the 13th century, this historic monastery, perched majestically in the UNESCO World Heritage Tramuntana range of Mallorca, offers a haven of serenity high above the bustling world below. As you traverse its ancient corridors, you can almost hear the echoes of devotion that once reverberated through its walls.
A mere 5 minute drive from the enchanting village of Deia, celebrated for its charm and vibrant artist community, our monastery beckons beloved women seeking solace and enlightenment. Here, amidst the age-old olive groves lovingly planted by Muslim hands centuries ago, guests are invited to bask in the panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea, a shimmering expanse that mirrors the eternal journey of the soul.
Here, the soul finds its sanctuary, and the heart finds its home.
Our Sanctuary
The Retreat’s essence
We will fully immerse ourselves in the beauty and blessings of the sacred plants mentioned in the Holy Quran: the olive, the pomegranate, the date, and the fig. Each of these blessed plants carries deep spiritual significance, mentioned with honor in the Quran:
Olive: “Blessed is the olive, a light and a delight to those who eat it.” (Quran 24:35)
Pomegranate: “There is not one of your pomegranates but it is pollinated with a grain from the pomegranates of Paradise” Hadith
Date: “And We gave you the date-palms with their spathes in clusters.” (Quran 6:141)
Fig: “By the fig and the olive, and Mount Sinai, and this secure city.” (Quran 95:1-3)
Throughout the retreat, each day will honor one of these sacred plants, and our meals will be lovingly crafted around it — a true culinary feast for the senses. From olive-inspired dishes to pomegranate-infused delicacies, date coffee ceremonies, and fig-centered creations, every bite will be a celebration of divine provision and blessing.
We will gather for communal prayers for those who wish to join, sharing in the spiritual rhythm of the day. Creativity and reflection will be nurtured through artistic workshops with our artist in residency, while joyful moments await with a poolside pizza party featuring homemade sourdough pizzas, and serene afternoons lounging by the pool.
Guests are invited to explore the olive groves surrounding the retreat, take contemplative walks, or enjoy a cup of coffee in the nearby artistic town of Deja. Above all, this retreat is a space of sisterhood, connection, and tranquility, where hearts can open, spirits can rest, and the blessings of Allah’s creation can be deeply felt.
