THE JOURNEY
I’ve been envisioning this retreat for a long time.
It feels like a dream come true to be able to do it on the island that now is 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 and The Nodes of the Moon (focusing on the Eclipses). This retreat is either for a beginner in astrology or 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, learn about fixed stars through observation and storytelling.
BODY
Dance, Movement & Bioenergetics
I’m delighted to share that I will be collaborating 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 two hour 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 be sharing with us her wisdom and love for the health for the planet and people. Not only does she know a lot about plants, nature, farming but she is someone I admire for her integrity and commitment to make the world a better place with her ethical and inspirational business Wunder Workshop. She’ll be creating a three hour workshop in a Cala in the Tramuntana that will encourage us to be more tender with Mother Earth and ourselves.
Have you ever heard of chef Alessandra Mariotti? Well, if you join us you are here for a treat. Ale is a fantastic and passionate chef who will feed us with her 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 have a celestial dinner by Lunafridge in collaboration with Alessandra.
Hope you’ll join us on this beautiful adventure!

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!

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 40 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. Then I studied astrology in London and now I’m studying distance learning in another School.
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.
Our life is our most important creative journey, and the more we know ourselves the more freedom we have to choose who we want to be. Creativity can be beautiful but also painful, as it’s the process of becoming who we are. It connects us with our hopes, beliefs, fears, wounds and from that place we heal.
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 @wunderworkshop 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.
ALESSANDRA MARIOTTI
Seasonal, local and organic ingredients are celebrated from start to finish, creating nourishing healing foods bursting with flavour.
As a graduate of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, with Cordon Bleu and Michelin Star training, Alessandra offers flavourful, health-conscious and refined culinary services with a Mediterranean flair, using foraged, fermented and sprouted ingredients.
With a background in fashion design and events, Alessandra pursued her passion and trained at Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Academy in Florence.
After becoming a professional chef, she immersed herself in the world of innovative fine dining. This led Alessandra to Mallorca, where she worked with Michelin starred chefs including Andreu Genestra at his farm-to-fork restaurant.
Such experiences enriched her passion, discipline and respect for food. With this in mind, Alessandra established Holistic Dining, a conscious approach to food that delights the senses while nourishing the body and soul.
As a holistic chef, Alessandra firmly believes that what you put into your body is essential in caring for your physical and mental health and ultimately living a happy, balanced life.
