Reconnect Retreat | Fall 2025

This isn’t a wellness retreat. It’s a return. A taste of Eden.

A 7-day immersive experience to reconnect with your design through nature, healing food, and God’s presence in creation.

Step out of the noise and into something real. The Reconnect Retreat is a week of stillness, fruit feasts, barefoot walks, creative workshops, and spiritual depth. Rooted in Christian tradition and inspired by the elements, this is a space to remember what you were made for — and Who made you.

OCTOBER 14th to 20th, 2025
MÁLAGA, SPAIN

What You'll Experience

This retreat is not a break from life — it’s a return to the life you were made for.

Each day is shaped by one of the four elements: Earth, Water, Wind, and Fire. Through them, we explore how to come back into rhythm — with nature, with our bodies, with one another, and with God.

Below are the four core pillars of the Reconnect Retreat:

Feast

FEAST. LEARN. HEAL.

Thanks to Málaga’s warm subtropical climate, we get fruit most people never taste fresh — tree-ripened mangos, cherimoyas, avocados, grapes, and rare tropicals. You’ll eat them daily in raw, vibrant meals that make you feel clean, full, and energized.

You’ll also learn how to prepare these meals yourself in our Salad Mastery workshop — a hands-on session that’s all about flavor, freshness, and simplicity. It’s not a diet. It’s a return to food that feels like it was made for you.

Immersion

NATURE IS A TEACHER

Each day we step into nature and learn from one of the elements. Earth: walking barefoot, working with clay. Water: swimming, letting go. Wind: silence, breath, clarity. Fire: candlelight, heat, transformation.

We hike, we swim, we visit fruit orchards. We take in creation slowly and pay attention to what it’s showing us about life, truth, and God. It’s less about sightseeing — more about learning to see again.

Move & Create

MOVE. EXPRESS. BE HERE.

You’ll begin your days with light movement to reset your nervous system and wake up your strength. Nothing intense — just enough to reconnect.

Then we create. With clay, with pens, with food, with words. You’ll have space to explore your inner world and express it outwardly — without pressure to be good at it. This is about feeling, processing, and being real.

Return

ALIGNING YOURSELF

In a world that pulls us in every direction, this retreat is a space to come back home. We reconnect through shared meals, group circles, prayer, and moments of quiet stillness. We read Scripture. We listen to nature's sounds. We talk about God. We remember who we are.

You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to be present.

You’ll leave this retreat with more clarity, peace, and connection than you’ve felt in a long time.

Program Overview

This is a week where you remember who you are — by tasting, walking, touching, praying, and just being.

From October 14–20, in the lush subtropical hills near Málaga, you’ll step out of the noise and into the rhythm of nature.
Not just to rest — but to reconnect.

Each of the five core days is shaped by one of the four elements: Water, Earth, Wind, and Fire.
You’ll explore them not in theory — but through movement, silence, fruit, clay, journaling, swimming, and prayer.

There are no busy schedules. Just flow. Just rhythm. Just space.
You’ll wake up to birdsong. Eat fruit that still smells like sun. Move your body. Get quiet.
Laugh. Cry. Walk barefoot. Burn what needs to go. Plant what needs to grow.

Below, you’ll find a glimpse of each day.
But the real retreat? You’ll feel it in your chest.

LOCATION.

Where we'll be staying.

📍 Cómpeta, Málaga · Spain

Our home for the week is a cozy countryside villa tucked in the hills of Málaga, with a natural park at our doorstep — surrounded by trees, birdsong, and silence.

There’s a mix of shared and private rooms, sunny outdoor spaces, a swimming pool, and hidden garden corners for reflection.

It’s simple, grounded, and peaceful. You’ll feel held and at home.

We’ll also spend time off-site — at beaches, orchards, forests, and waterfalls — soaking in all the life creation has to offer.

The Food We’ll Be Enjoying

This is more than just eating well. The food at the Reconnect Retreat is a central part of the healing — an invitation to experience God’s creation with your senses wide open.

Each meal is raw, vibrant, colorful, and made from local, seasonal ingredients. Thanks to the subtropical climate of Málaga, we get access to some of the most stunning produce in Europe — including fresh cherimoyas, sun-ripened mangos, papayas, figs, grapes, wild greens, and rare tropical varieties you won’t find in stores.

Food here is slow. Abundant. Alive. It’s designed to cleanse, energize, and awaken your body — while bringing joy and deep connection.

You’ll experience:

A 40–50 fruit exotic tasting that will blow your mind
The Salad Mastery Workshop — learn how to build deeply satisfying, healing raw meals
Local, nutrient-dense meals made daily with love and creativity

Each day includes:

Breakfast: Hydrating fruits, green juices, smoothies
Lunch: Light and energizing, usually seasonal fruits + simple raw plates
Dinner: Flavorful, grounding high-raw dishes like raw tacos, pizzas, wraps, or buddha bowls
Snacks: Fresh fruit, herbal teas, and raw bliss balls always available

This isn’t restriction. It’s celebration — food as worship, food as Eden.

“And God said, ‘Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.’” — Genesis 1:29

@damian.gardynik

Damian is a plant-based chef, retreat facilitator, and disciple of Christ with a deep passion for spiritual growth, healing food, and reconnection to God’s creation.

His journey began with years of wrestling through bulimia, body image struggles, and food obsession. For a while, he sought answers in New Age spirituality — until he realized the path only led to more confusion. What finally healed him wasn’t another method or mindset — it was surrendering to Christ.

He now shares what helped him: a return to the simplicity of whole, living foods; deep connection with nature; and honest conversations about faith, identity, and truth. Through his retreats, teachings, and food, Damian creates experiences that guide people back to what’s real.

This retreat is more than a program. It’s his heart laid open — and an invitation for you to do the same.

This isn’t a wellness retreat. It’s a return. A taste of Eden.

A 7-day immersive experience to reconnect with your design through nature, healing food, and God’s presence in creation.
