Galicia is full of drama and more! The roaring ocean, the stunning and uniquely shaped coastline, the kindness of down-to-earth people, and the simple but top quality food.
Believe it or not, this region is Celtic, and its residents take pride in not conforming to the Spanish cliché. They express love for the earth, the sea, and nature as if you were in Ireland or Brittany but with extra sunshine and warmth.
Punta de Cuso is a humble hideaway nestled on a peninsula surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and Ria Alban waters, away from roads and villages.
Featuring secluded private beaches and an exceptional wild swimming experience, this venue is an ideal location to delve into the Fluidity Program and embrace water’s inherent qualities.
Amidst nature and beside me, you will be guided through the week with the kindness and wisdom of our musical host, Jacomina Kistmaker. Renowned as one of Spain’s influential sound therapists and pioneers in using sound for personal and spiritual growth and individual and planetary healing.
It’s a unique week that people enjoy returning to repeatedly!
Summer is the ‘Yang’ season, embodying expressions, warm energy, vibrance, fluidity, and movement – a time to embrace life fully!
The ‘Fluidity Program’ is crafted to facilitate interaction with the air, water, and fire elements, occasionally grounding us with the earth for stability and calmness.
We gently expand the heart and lungs, our bodies and consciousness through expressive body movement methods, yoga, breathwork, and meditation, fostering gentle energetic stimulation, openness, and a feeling of space!
To balance the vigour of summer, we incorporate gentle and calming practices for cooling down and resting our nervous system, which are ideal for hot, humid, and bustling summer days.
For the enjoyment of our open water swimmers and retreat participants, Centro Punta de Couso, located just ten minutes from secluded beaches with calm waters, extends an invitation to experience the freedom of movement on both land and in the water.
This magical venue provides the perfect summer setting to embrace the elements of nature and self-being.
This is the perfect way to reconnect with nature, create a sense of vitality within us, and feel purely rested and rejuvenated.
This program is about bringing a smile to your lips!
The retreat program is a journey from settling into your room to returning home feeling rejuvenated and smiling!
This journey is guided by daily two-hour themed morning workshops that blend traditional yoga methods, including Scaravelli-inspired yoga, contemporary movement methods, somatic and mindful yoga, breathwork, and meditation.
This diverse range of practices and approaches provides an ideal opportunity to enhance your practice at your own pace, achieve your goals, and adapt to any ailments or health conditions.
The workshops alternate between slower therapeutic approaches and more dynamic practices to promote movement, fluidity, mobility, and flexibility.
Laurent’s expertise ensures accessibility for all through tailored variations and accommodations.

After the day’s activities, Laurent leads a 90-minute calming and restorative yoga session, incorporating somatic exercises and movements to release tension and promote deep relaxation.

“Centro Punta de Couso” has a very special place in Laurent’s heart. This charming house is owned by noted musician Jacomina Kistemaker and sits on the beautiful Galician coast in Spain. This idyllic setting offers a true haven away from the outside world and all its obligations, giving guests a rare opportunity to explore personal growth and self-healing without distraction. Centro Punta de Couso, therefore, offers the ultimate retreat experience.
Located at the tip of Morrazo Peninsula in South West Galicia, Spain, this venue offers stunning views and access to the beach, forests and mountains of the rugged Atlantic coast. Galicia is very much part of Europe’s Celtic fringe.
This is definitely a place to reconnect, with yourself and everything around you. An environment where one can find the seclusion, peace, silence and serenity to go deeper and where the energy of the place “does half the job”. A place that invites to stop and reconnect with the essence of life, a place to come together!
The centre is around 45 minutes from the cities of Vigo and Pontevedra and 1:30 hrs from Santiago de Compostela. The Morrazo peninsula offers fantastic hiking paths along the coast.
