5 Day Family Constellation Retreat Supported by Yoga, Meditation & Breathwork in Alicante, Spain

This family constellation retreat Spain is a profound 5-day healing journey at Casa by Eri, an intimate finca nestled in the mountains of Finestrat, near Alicante on the Costa Blanca.

What is a Family Constellation Retreat?

Family Constellations is a powerful method of systemic healing developed by psychotherapist Bert Hellinger. It is based on the understanding that many personal struggles — recurring relationship difficulties, chronic emotional heaviness, a sense of being stuck — are rooted not in the present moment, but in unresolved dynamics within the family system, often carried across generations. Through the constellation process, participants are guided to uncover hidden dynamics and gently return to their rightful place in the family field, releasing what no longer belongs to them.

At this Family Constellation retreat Spain, every participant has the opportunity to bring a personal theme or question for a constellation. Throughout the retreat, participants also act as representatives in each other’s constellations — tuning into the knowing field and often receiving their own unexpected insights and healing in the process.

The Venue: Casa by Eri

Casa by Eri is a charming old finca located in the quiet mountains of Finestrat, just two minutes from the authentic Spanish mountain village and 15 minutes from the beach. Nestled between acres of olive trees with a spectacular view of Puig Campana — the highest mountain in the region — the property offers a beautiful pool area, a spacious garden, hammocks, fruit trees, and acres of wild nature to explore. Forest and mountain walks are accessible directly on foot.

Accommodation is offered in several distinct spaces: La Casa (shared or single rooms in the main house), La Casita (original stone house with two bedrooms and a terrace), and El Caravano (a cosy caravan hideaway with extended living room and outdoor kitchen). All are rustic, carefully maintained, and perfectly suited to the intimate, grounded atmosphere of the retreat.

Food and Nourishment

This is a non-alcoholic retreat, and all meals are vegetarian — with gluten-free options available on request. Coffee, tea, and water are provided throughout the day.
