This 5 day New Year’s Retreat is for those who want to close the year with intention and step into the next one clear, rooted, and fully present.

Held on the wild south coast of Tenerife, overlooking the Atlantic and volcanic landscape, this experience is for seekers, sensitives, creatives, space holders, entrepreneurs, visionaries, and anyone ready to soften burnout, release emotional residue, and come back to what feels true inside.

Through daily movement, breathwork, guided meditation, elemental rituals, oceanfront practices, volcanic coast walks, cacao and dance, and an optional sacred ceremony on New Year’s Eve, we create a held container to unwind the stories that no longer serve you and invite in a new way of living.

This is your space to pause, listen, and redirect. You leave not just inspired for a new year, but equipped with simple, grounded tools to carry this clarity back into your everyday life

Frequently asked questions

  • For people who are ready to close the year with intention instead of exhaustion. If you feel called to slow down, reset your system, connect with nature, and start the new year clear, grounded, and aligned, this is for you. No previous retreat or yoga experience needed
  • Absolutely. Many guests join solo. The space is designed to feel safe, warm, and welcoming. You choose: more quiet, more connection, or a bit of both.
  • In a private ocean-view villa in the south of Tenerife, near Costa Adeje. Secluded enough to feel held, close enough to the coast and nearby towns for ease and comfort.
  • Tenerife South Airport (TFS) is the closest and most convenient. Tenerife North (TFN) also works if you find a better route; from there, you can take a local flight or transfer to the south.
  • Once your flight is booked, share your details with us. We will help coordinate group transfers or connect you with trusted drivers so your arrival is smooth.
  • This is an intimate container, usually between 10 and 18 guests. Small enough for depth, big enough for community.
  • Accommodation for 5 days, daily brunch and dinner, all scheduled classes, circles, and ceremonies listed in the itinerary, plus use of pool, shared spaces, and support before and after the retreat.
  • No. The New Year ceremony is completely optional. You will always have a grounded, supportive, substance free path within the container. Your pace, your choice, fully respected.
  • You are welcome. All sessions are beginner friendly, with options to go deeper if you already have a practice. The focus is regulation, embodiment, and clarity, not performance.
  • Fresh, nourishing meals with a Mediterranean influence: vibrant, clean, and designed to help you feel light, steady, and energized. We can cater to most dietary needs with advance notice.
  • Comfortable clothing, a light jacket for evenings, swimwear, sandals, walking shoes, a journal, reusable water bottle, and anything that helps your practice (eye mask, small talismans, etc).
  • A non refundable deposit secures your spot. The remaining balance is due 30 days before arrival. Full payment and cancellation terms are clearly outlined at checkout so you know exactly where you stand.
  • No. This is a conscious, curated space. There is celebration, music, joy, and connection, but held with intention, respect for the land, and care for your body and mind

David is a great yoga and life teacher. Their experience and sensitivity are evident in guiding truly transformative experiences. This is already my second retreat with Back to the Roots and I can say that it has changed my life. I deeply appreciate his support and highly recommend him to those seeking a path of growth with professionalism and heart.

I had the incredible chance to join a retreat led by David in the heart of the Colombian Amazon – and it’s hard to put into words how much this experience meant to me. David doesn’t just guide the retreat, he is the space: safe, sacred and full of love.His soul is pure light and joy. He’s like the sun warm, present and always shining. There’s so much wisdom in him and he shares it in such a kind and open hearted way. With David I felt truly seen, heard and accepted just as I am. As a yoga teacher he’s completely in his flow – calm, clear and deeply supportive. He also has a real gift for capturing special moments with his camera. The way he does it is something else! This wasn’t just a retreat. It felt like coming home, to myself, to love and to what really matters. I’m deeply grateful. Thank you, David, from all my heart. Highly recommended!

My experience with David’s retreat in Bali was truly transformative. His incredible skill in spiritual work and inner healing created a safe and inspiring space for deep personal growth. The yoga practices he led were beautifully balanced — both grounding and uplifting — and perfectly complemented the emotional and spiritual journey of the retreat. Everything was thoughtfully organized, from the schedule to the setting, making the entire experience flow with ease and intention. I can’t recommend David enough and truly hope to join more of his retreats in the future.

I went to the Amazon Jungle in Colombia with David. He was very attentive. He made sure that the group was having a good time. He took time to translate information from the Shaman/Taita. He also adjusted the yoga sessions to the level of the group. The location he chose for this retreat was beautiful and the food was great!

The retreat was a wonderful experience for me. It was a spontaneous decision to join and it was worth it. Everything, starting from yoga deck with a magnificent view, magical yoga classes, delicious vegan food and extra attractions in our agenda such as hiking of e-bikes, was amazing.. On top of that positive energy and engagement of our yoga instructor was making it a special and unique experience. Best gift I could give to myself. Definitely to be repeated! Thank you. Namaste

Yoga instruction was incredible and catered to all levels. We were provided delicious healthy meals daily. Our mindfulness and nutrition instructionals were spot on. David and his team put a lot of thought and planning into our retreat. From the beautiful beaches with surfing instructionals, to cultural immersion experiences with Balinese priests and visits to the Uluwatu Temple, David and Frankie left no stone unturned. If the experiences weren't enough, the friendships we formed were priceless. I was apprehensive to book an expensive retreat halfway around the world with people I'd never met, but rest assured, you'll be happy you did. David and Francesca's retreats come highly recommended and we'll be joining them again in the future.

Everything about this experience was spectacular- from the people, the activities, the location, facilities, and the love energy within everyone i met there. I am forever changed by this experience and the people and memories we made here with the internal spiritual healing and connection within ourselves healed us all as a community. I can't even begin to describe how much gratitude I have for this experience and who it has made me. I have so much love and appreciation for whatever guided me to this retreat. David and Frankie are beautiful souls with good intentions and I thank them for providing the space and intention for so much healing and clarity that has the potential to heal the world.

The whole retreat was incredible and I’m still feeling the effects of it today! It’s been about 2 weeks and I feel completely transformed by the experience. The group I was with were absolutely amazing! The food was incredible and super healthy. The space they created for us left us all feeling vulnerable and energized. I especially loved our dance party that was just a beautiful experience with the sunset. The “guardians” that participated on the trip also taught me so much, with life coaching, tarot readings, etc. Overall I wouldn’t have wanted to spend my NYE anywhere else - I feel energized and recharged to make difficult changes this year!

The Rewild retreat I attended in Desert Palm Springs was wholistic, well planned, and so personal. Frankie and David led us through 5 days of physical reconnection with ourselves, education on ways to care for our health through what we consume, grounding our minds and bodies in gratitude for the earth and our connection to it. The phone call before, the personal connection throughout, and the continued offerings and relationships after make this program really customized to the individual while prioritizing feeling supported by each other. It’s a real community! The food was absolutely delicious and the setting in Sky Valley was gorgeous, and their desire to have us connect with plant medicine respectfully and ecstatically was admirable. I appreciated David and Frankie’s genuine love and care for their participants. Definitely give it a go
