WHERE
COSMIC IMMERSION will take place in Son Rullan, a stunning monastery of the fourteenth century surrounded by a farm of ancient olive trees in the hills of the Tramuntana Mountains in Deià. With wild gardens and a pool to embrace the stunning natural beauty, encouraging calm, reflection and inspiration.
The first time I took the enchanting road up the hill towards Son Rullan I was amazed by its sacred beauty, and immediately felt wrapped by the gift of silence. Time and space stops when you enter Son Rullan, allowing contemplation and reflection of the self. I can’t wait to share all this with you!
“The setting was heaven on earth and everything was put together in a way that felt supportive and nourishing”

THE JOURNEY
I’m so excited to share the second edition of COSMIC IMMERSION.
Feels like a dream come true to be able to host you on the island that is now my home.

Let me tell you a little bit about it….
As you might know I’m an astrologer and an artist. I created Astrology for Artists in a very organic way while I began combining these two practices. I noticed how they fed and nurtured each other and how it allowed me to cultivate deep trust in my creativity and intuition. My interest in the body and performance also informed how I teach this symbolic language. For me it’s very important that you experience the astrological information in an embodied way, by opening your heart and mind to what it has to say to you.
COSMIC IMMERSION brings together my love and admiration for the sky, the body and the land. I created this experience for you to fall even more in love with being here — on this Earth, in this body, under this sky.
SKY
Natal Chart & Stargazing
During the retreat you’ll work with your own natal chart, discovering in depth hidden aspects of yourself. We’ll start from the basics: the Zodiac signs in relation to the Sun, Moon & Ascendant to then move towards Black Moon Lilith, Chiron the Wounded Healer, The Nodes of the Moon and the upcoming Eclipses. This retreat gives so much to a beginner in astrology as well as someone more experienced.
During the evenings we’ll stargaze from the most beautiful terraces of Son Rullan. We’ll connect with the territory of the sky by looking at the different constellations, and learn about fixed stars through observation and storytelling.
BODY
Dance, Movement & Bioenergetics
I’m delighted to be collaborating again with multidisciplinary artist and dancer Aina Genovés bringing the body’s attention to our hearts. We aim to combine Aina’s creative and unique approach to connect with the body with bioenergetic therapy - a mind-body practice in which I trained for the last four years.
There will be a daily movement session where we’ll dance and do bioenergetic exercises to let go of tensions and blocks. We’ll connect with our bodies, soften our armour and feel more vibrant. The deeper we connect with our bodies, the deeper we can navigate and understand the potential of who we are that your natal chart reveals.
LAND
Herbal wisdom & Nourishment
I feel very honoured that Zoe Lind van’t Hof will share with us her wisdom and love for the health for the planet and people. Not only does she know so much about plants, nature, farming but is someone I admire greatly for her integrity and commitment to make the world a better place with her ethical and inspirational business Wunder Workshop. She’ll create an afternoon workshop by the sea in the Tramuntana that will encourage us to be more tender with Mother Earth and ourselves.
And I would love to introduce our talented chefs for this year: Emma Plateau & Eliza Parchanska. You are in for a treat! Emma & Eliza are two unique and passionate chefs who will feed and favour us with their unique and utterly delicious dishes. Seasonal, local and organic ingredients are celebrated from start to finish, creating nourishing healing foods bursting with flavour. And on the last night we’ll create a celestial dinner with Lunafridge for a collaborative celebration.
I hope you’ll join us on this beautiful adventure!

OUR TEAM
MADELEINE BOTET DE LACAZE
Hello & welcome, I'm so grateful you're here.
Astrology has always been one of my biggest sources of inspiration. However, at the beginning my focus was my art practice - I studied acting for many years, photography, dance, then I went through four years of Cinematography to finally moved to London and do an MA in Performance Art. My astrology journey happened alongside my art practice, I began studying astrology in my early 20s (I’m 41 now) and was something I did for myself. It gave me the strength to pursue my dreams, to be kinder with myself and to realised I had challenges to face within me that could become talents.
I believe in an astrology that liberates, that opens up possibilities for life experiences and that cultivates fluidity and resilience. With Astrology for Artists I want you to connect with your creativity, the inner self that makes your heart beat strong and confidently.
Astrology spoke to my soul and allowed me to believe in myself, to trust my steps. It helped me put the pieces of my broken self together. Now I want to communicate this to guide you in the hardest of times, bringing calm through understanding the bigger picture that the sky reveals.

AINA GENOVÉS
Multidisciplinary artist, focused on movement and performing arts, developing her vision of dance through creative movement.
The union of dance, theatre, meditation, liberation and music. Connecting through dance "let it go" any small movement can encourage the mind to open, the body to relax and the blood to flow. I want to embrace presence through the body and awareness through the movement of the mind.
Exploring the personal identity of different bodies, enhancing the characteristics that make their movement unique. To be proud of our way of expressing ourselves without judgement or doublethink, just being. As we move, we are moved, I invite you to explore the freedom of movement.
ZOE LIND VAN’T HOF
Zoë learned about health and plants from her late mother, who was a naturopath. So she grew up surrounded by botanicals, developed her own intuitive herbalism, went foraging and grew organic food from an early age. This knowledge and passion has led her to start her own businesses Wunder Workshop that focuses on plants and health for the planet and people. When she moved to Mallorca, she explored more beautiful local plants and started to incorporate them in her products.
During our sensory herbal wisdom workshop we will explore some local and European wild plants that are easy to forage to create your own herbal teas and blends in order for us to connect to our ancestral wisdom.
GIÑTARĖ SLABAČIAUSKAITĖ
Giñtarė a.k.a. Sãvastis is a Lithuanian gong and sound alchemist and intuitive singer. She guides people to listen within, deepen intuition and embrace authenticity.
Giñtarė spreads the message to use sound and voice as a tool in self-healing practises: to acknowledge shadows, re-shape and transform it in order to live truly live Your own legend. Her sessions is the place where mind limits and expectations supposed to be left behind and where the sounds take the lead to unlock forgotten, hidden parts of ourselves. It's a vulnerable journey to meet Your true self, be open to receive the inner whispers and integrate it. This reveals the true meaning of Sãvastis - to truly be yourself.
