Murmuration Collective’s May 2024 Women’s Leadership & Personal Development Program in Spain brings together a small cohort of inspiring women.  This unique experience will be begin at the one-of-a kind, stunning private residence hosted by En Casa de Gracia outside of Tujillo, Spain. Our experiential retreat will feature a 5-day core curriculum that incorporates highly effective tools and methods, delivered by expert facilitators.  

After attending the experiential retreat, you will be fortified with the knowledge, resources and creative power to clearly define your ideal professional and personal next steps.  And, you will have a plan in place to execute, as well as a cohort of like-minded and empowering women supporting you as you get into action.   

Day 1: Monday

Arrive Madrid, Spain and meet your awaiting car transfer. You will then head straight to Trujillo. Upon arrival you will be met by your hostess, Gracia LaFuente of En Casa de Gracia, and your Murmuration Team of facilitators, Lucy Reynolds, Katy Craig and Kelley Pecis. Once there you will be able to relax, unwind, and begin to soak up all the beauty of Gracia’s family home, Viña del Cura, your home for the next four nights. Toward the end of our first day we will move into our Murmuration experience, culminating in a lovely cohort dinner inspired by the region and where we begin to murmurate as a collective.

Day 2: Tuesday

We begin each morning with a wellness offering, a sumptuous, healthy breakfast followed by intention setting. We will then dive into the first full day of our Murmuration curriculum that will first awaken you to your Inner Wisdom which will inform and inspire you as to what you want to evolve or create next in your life, while your cohort provides the Murmuration energy needed to uplift and ignite what is to come. The spaciousness of the experiential curriculum will allow you to further reflect as you slow your pace of life so you can truly pause to gain clarity for what you want both professionally and personally, and how you want to show up for your organization, your family, and your greater community.

After our wellness offering and a healthy breakfast, our curriculum allows you to dive further into your exploration around what you are yearning for as we tap into Nature Wisdom to inspire you as you create what you want in all facets of your life moving forward.  On this day we get to immerse ourselves in the beauty that all of Casa de Gracia’s natural 50 hectares has to offer… gentle hills of olive, chestnut, and cork trees which are dotted with broom, cistus, madroños, thyme and cantuesos, the elegant wild lavender. In the afternoon, we will venture out to explore the history of Trujillo guided by Gracia herself.

Today our Murmuration curriculum allows for you and your cohort to lean into your Collective Wisdom. Through this experience you will gain even more clarity about what it is you deeply want to create next and how to bring it into fruition.  This Collective Wisdom will propel you forward as you discover you are not alone in your creative endeavors having the support of amazing women to make your dreams a reality.  We will end the day with a meaningful closing dinner that is sure to deepen your appreciation for the women with you on this journey.

 

Day 5: Friday

This morning, after our final wellness offering, we will share one last coffee and delicious breakfast. During this time you and your cohort will organize for the next six, monthly zoom coaching calls and design what else you as a cohort need to further support the beautiful energy you created over the past five days. We will then not say goodbye, but rather see you soon. No matter where you go next (whether that be to explore all the region has to offer or head home) you will be energized, feeling well held by this Collective to go out and further create the positive impact you want in life! 

En Casa de Gracia is an extension of its founder’s personal project. Prompted by the need to share and expand her journey, Gracia opens her home and welcomes you to embark on an adventure that will take you to a place where you will be re-energized and further inspired to make the impact you want on the world. Surrounded by a beautiful land, carefully accompanied by the expert Murmuration leadership coaches and facilitators, and supported by a group of similarly motivated participants, you will be inspired and stimulated to transform and grow.

En Casa de Gracia is hosted at Viña del Cura, home of the owner and her family, who arrived here twenty years ago. It is situated in a ‘lagar,’ an olive grove, in the surroundings of Trujillo, Spain, extending over 50 hectares (120+ acres) of gentle hills amongst chestnut and cork trees, which are dotted with broom, cistus, strawberry trees, thyme and ‘cantuesos’, the region’s elegant wild lavender. Its perimeter houses a large olive grove from whose fruits we extract our own oil every year following the age-old technique of cold pressing, as well as a small vineyard cultivated with our Tempranillo and Cabernet grape varietals.  Seasonal beehives provide a tasty native eco-friendly honey, and the organic garden supplies the kitchen with vegetables, cherries and quince, with which we produce preserves, jams and pies. There is no better tandem for the local jamón ibérico, so characteristic of the area’s Extremaduran meadows, than Casa de Gracia’s free-range hens’ eggs and harvest potatoes. Pistachios, recently adapted to this land thanks to the efforts of Ronald, Casa’s green-thumbed caretaker, have joined the native crops of almonds and pine nuts. During the long days of the pandemic, a years’ longed challenge reemerged and could not be postponed any longer. Today we are proud to share our pandemic project with you: Viña del Cura’s electrical power comes now entirely from a different kind of farm, the solar farm that generates our self-sufficient house energy.

Accommodation on the finca is diverse and is described below according to category and options. Depending on the use of the rooms (single or double) the house has capacity for 10/16 people. It includes three buildings: La Casa Grande, La Casa Pequeña, and an independent house/studio, La Casita Ibicenca, on the same property. For larger groups, there is the possibility of extra accommodation at the local hotel downtown, only ten minutes away.

En Casa De Gracia’s special all-inclusive room + board rate is for the entire length of stay based on your room preference:

La Viña del Cura will become a sanctuary where all participants will gather to immerse themselves in the Murmuration curriculumn, relax with yoga or wellness sessions, and to eat and unwind with a glass of wine and tapas, enjoying one of the most spectacular sunsets that you have ever witnessed.
