BLUE ANGEL
Wild Journeys & Soulful Retreats in Northern Spain
About Us
Between earth and sky - a space for quiet power, wild truth, and healing that begins with presence.
We are Maya and Daniel - partners in life, love, and the practice of deep listening.
We live close to the land in Northern Spain, where forest, sea, and silence meet.
Blue Angel Retreats grew out of our personal paths of healing:
from surgery and chronic pain, from invisible wounds, from lives once lived on the edge of collapse.
We didn’t plan to teach. We followed what was true. And from that truth, a path opened.
Together, we hold space for people in moments of transition - those who long to exhale, to feel, to return.
Not to "become better," but to remember who they already are.
Playfulness is central to our work.
We welcome the parts of you that have been silenced - the tired, the tender, and also the joyful.
The inner child. The spark. The one who wants to laugh, scribble, explore, be messy and real.
Because this isn’t just about healing - it’s about joy, too.
Blue Angel is not a brand. It’s a vibration. A door.We’re living close to the land in Northern Spain.
Our retreats are not a brand , they’re how we live.
Maya works in the unseen: a space of quiet healing, presence, and intuition. Her strength is not in performance, but in resonance. For years, she has held spaces for meditation, guided visualisation, and intuitive drawing. Her approach to healing is rooted in her own journey of recovery - after complex surgeries and choosing natural methods over conventional treatments. She lives what she teaches: nourishment through food, ritual, rest, and the sacred cycle of cleansing and care.
Daniel works with the body: through yoga, massage, posture, and breath. A local born in the north of Spain, Daniel knows the trails, rivers, caves, and forests like the back of his hand. He’s a master in body mechanics, posture awareness, and fascia release - with over 40 years of experience as a masseur and a background in physiotherapy and scuba diving instruction.
Together, we create spaces that are soft, real, and alive -
Where people can listen, release, and reconnect.

With presence. With depth. With no pressure to perform or be "spiritual."
This is a space where you can arrive as you are.
You don’t need to be fixed. You just need to be met.Is This for You?You don’t have to be perfect.
You don’t have to be healed.
You just have to be willing to feel.
Our retreats are for people in moments of transition, change, or quiet pause.
Those who feel the call to stop pretending - and start listening.
You might be:
In a life crossroads or identity shiftAfter an illness, loss, or major decisionHolding emotions that haven’t had space to moveLonging to reconnect with your body, your truth, your rhythmOr simply sensing that something inside is ready to shiftWe welcome those who are open to meeting themselves - not just their light, but also their shadow.
This space doesn’t ask you to be “spiritual.” It invites you to be real.
To arrive as you are - tired, confused, curious, uncertain, soft, wild.
And yes - we also welcome travelers who are simply seeking nature, connection, and beauty.
There’s no pressure. Just presence.Where It HappensNorthern Spain - where wild meets real.
We’re based in Cantabria - one of Spain’s best-kept secrets.
Here, deep green forests meet dramatic coastlines. Rain and sun dance together, making the land glow in every season.
Just minutes apart, you’ll find mossy mountain trails, golden beaches, ancient rivers, and wide open skies. The tides here reshape the land every day - it’s a place that breathes.
This land is alive with healing plants, wild herbs, and medicinal trees.
You can walk barefoot, forage lunch, and feel the pulse of something ancient.
There are over 6,000 caves in this region - hidden underground worlds that hold the memory of earth and time. Some are wild and silent, others filled with prehistoric art.
We don’t retreat from life here - we return to it.
