Gareth
Gareth, born and raised in Zimbabwe, is the co-founder of Sana Sana Retreat, a holistic health and wellness space in Spain created from a deeply personal journey of healing, recovery, and rebuilding life with intention.
After overcoming drug & alcohol addiction, mental health struggles, and surviving a suicide attempt doctors didn’t expect him to recover from, Gareth made the decision to live, and to live differently. He’s also experienced the deep grief of losing his father and best friend to suicide, which makes his work today not only purposeful, but personal.
Now, through his retreats, he helps others press pause and reconnect with themselves with nourishing food, space to rest, meaningful movement, and support that’s honest and human.
Gareth is also the author of five published books, including two recipe books, all created to support others on their journey toward health, healing, and self-discovery.
He believes your past may shape you, but it doesn’t define you, and that small, conscious steps can lead to life-changing transformation.

Also With Jeroen
This is our most active week. We turn up the movement and the energy, with more exercise and more momentum, still in a small and supportive group. Not a boot camp, but a real push.

Festive Fun
Also With Jeroen
A gentle week before the holidays begin. We help you let go of the year, rest properly, and arrive at Christmas calm rather than frazzled. There is even time to tick off a little Christmas shopping while you are here. You head home more prepared, not more stressed. A small, personal seven day retreat on […]
