Join a Mindful Workation in Tenerife

Connect with a curated group of 11 like-minded entrepreneurs and mindfulness teachers in a blend of coworking, yoga, and breathwork, fostering a transformative journey of business and mindfulness.

Your Dream Workation Awaits…

As you come off the child pose, the sun slowly shines through the yoga studio windows.  A warm April breeze brings the aroma of almond flowers from the Tenerife trees. You and your yoga teacher slowly pick up the yoga mats before you head to the coworking space with beautiful views of Mount Teide.

... it's the beginning of the day. As you hear the birds singing, you are sipping a fresh cup of coffee. You feel focused, and a feeling of groundedness with peace of mind. and positive energy starts to flow through you as you look towards the impressive banana fields from your villa.

You say good morning to your new friends who are joining you at the coworking space to start working with super fast reliable high-speed WiFi. You laugh and share the beach adventures of the night before as you open your laptop, and plug your Sony headphones to start your daily standup.

Suddenly, you receive a Slack message that something is not going as planned in the product you are working on. Then you smile and practice the breathing exercises that you learned last weekend. Suddenly calm and peace come back. Your balanced mind helps you to find a solution.

A few hours in, your community manager touches your shoulder and reminds you that tomorrow we will hike through the mysteries of the Anaga Valley...

Oh, Tenerife the digital nomad paradise.

My name is Jean Carlo, but you can call me JC. I am one of the co-founders of Nomad Cowork. I have been to over 30 countries and 100 cities in my life, and I have discovered a place like any other. - Tenerife. There is a unique diversity of nature, culture, locals, and mindful nomads that coexist harmoniously. Here the majestic Mount Teide shares spaces with mystical forests and volcanic beaches allowing successful entrepreneurs to be yogis and spiritual seekers. Nothing like in our typical western cities...

This is where my work-life balance journey starts. Three years ago I was overwhelmed, disconnected from myself, others, and nature, and unfortunately burned out. However, I learned how some of Tenerife's digital nomads balanced their lives and work through mindfulness practices, connection with nature, and meaningful relationships.

I brought this to my life and became a completely new person and professional. So much so that I became a breathwork instructor, a daily mindfulness practitioner aside from my UX profession. All this made me found this company, Nomad Cowork.

And now it's time to give back to the place that gave me so much.

The stress of life will always be there, but peace and balance are always there too.  Let's rediscover balance together and take it back home with us.

I want in JC! Tell me, how do I get started?

Your Villa: Sol y Luna

Tenerife - with pink-blue skies, black sand beaches, volcanic mountains that feel out of this earth and serene forest greenery now houses remote workers from all over Europe.

They normally stay in coliving spaces, individual apartments or hostels, but not us. 

We will spend two full weeks in a 100-year-old, carefully renovated Spanish villa called Sol y Luna. It is located in the peaceful oasis of a banana plantation with a clear view of Puerto de la Cruz town, the ocean below, and a spectacular view of Mount Teide.

Twelve of us will share this space. You will rest in a large garden, take your Zoom meetings in the covered patio, or spacious interior, or practice meditation roof-top terrace with incredible views.

Sol y Luna is usually a spiritual retreat center, dedicated to yoga, and meditation retreats. And we have kept its essence while merging it with remote work. With an embedded comfortable coworking space in the villa, you will be as productive as back home (or even more!).

There are cozy private and spacious shared rooms for you to rest. We believe that the experience of connection is fostered when we share spaces with others. There are two big kitchens where you will prepare your breakfast and lunch and a shared dining area where we will serve you a delicious Spanish paella for the welcome dinner.

You will feel the perfect balance of work and life in a space carefully crafted for what you are looking for.

You will feel the spirit of the house, blended with high-tech standards for working, delicious foods, and spending time with the locals who take care of the house.

OMG, I ❤️ this, place. Sign me up

Why Puerto de la Cruz?

We will stay in Puerto de La Cruz in the northern part of Tenerife. The city dates back to 1600. It’s a pintoresc city with old-styled colonial buildings.  Puerto brings a mix of cosmopolitan and colonial charm. It sits on the lush greens of the Orotava Valley, offering diverse Nature in its surroundings.

You will see lots of banana plantations (just like the one in our villa!) alongside modern hotels.  Black sand beaches and lush greenery are seen at all times when just stepping out a few minutes of the town center.

There are numerous local bars and restaurants to enjoy. If you want to immerse into the Latin vibes there are dancing salsa clubs, or if you prefer live music with local Canarian artists it's there too.

It's a city of choice of digital nomads, with plenty of coworking spaces and networking opportunities every day. Get to meet new people who can help you boost your network and business.

We are coming here to balance ourselves and experience all aspects of life. Work. Rest. Fun. Nature. Connection... So after we return from Puerto de la Cruz, we come back home, balanced.

I would like to visit Puerto!

Your Itinerary

Although I can’t give you a super detailed itinerary, I believe this will give you an idea of the awesomeness we are preparing for you. :)

  • Upon arrival, we'll have a warm welcome dinner, providing a fantastic opportunity to connect with fellow participants. Get ready to meet your instructors and engage with the vibrant community that will be a key part of your experience.

    The adventure continues with the first city tours, designed to introduce you to the charming surroundings of Puerto de la Cruz.

    In addition to the immersive experiences, we're excited to incorporate breathwork workshops into your Workation journey. These workshops are the cornerstone of the workation. We will use these foundations throughout the workation to later combine them with our advanced yoga practices.

  • Moving into the first week of your Worktation, you'll have the opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the unique blend of work and leisure that awaits. Spend your initial days reveling in the comfort of the villa and exploring the dynamic coworking space. After work hours, join us for delightful beach and bar tours, creating an ideal setting for casual networking and unwinding.

    After-work activities include short hikes, allowing you to appreciate the natural beauty surrounding Puerto de la Cruz. As part of your holistic experience, each day will incorporate mindfulness practices, offering you a chance to apply the techniques you've learned during dedicated weekend sessions.

    This week marks the beginning of your journey towards work-rest rebalancing, as you forge connections within the community and cultivate a mindful approach to both work and relaxation. It's a week of discovery, connection, and the initial steps towards a more harmonious work-life integration.

  • As the weekend unfolds, we're excited to introduce a harmonious fusion of yoga and breathwork practices, seamlessly integrating mindful breathing with movement. Engage in rejuvenating sessions of relaxing yoga (yin) and invigorating active yoga (ashtanga), each offering distinct benefits for your well-being.

    Our skilled instructors will guide you in understanding how to apply these practices in your daily routine, empowering you to weave moments of tranquility and vitality into your work and leisure.

    This weekend is designed not only to deepen your yoga practice but also to equip you with practical tools for incorporating these techniques into your daily life, promoting a sustained sense of balance and mindfulness.

    On Sunday we will visit the Anaga Valley and deepen our connection with mother nature.

  • As we approach the final week of your Worktation, we'll seamlessly integrate all the insights gained from our breathwork and yoga practices into your daily routine. Through a combination of mindful breathing and purposeful yoga, you'll experience a profound sense of relaxation permeating your work and being.

    This week is about putting into practice the valuable skills acquired throughout the program. Witness firsthand how effortlessly you transition into a state of flow, enhancing your productivity and creativity in your daily tasks. Learn to navigate and manage your emotions with greater ease, fostering a positive and harmonious work environment.

    Moreover, we'll revisit the enjoyable activities from the first week, reinforcing the connections made within the community and furthering the journey of rebalancing work and mindful living.

    By the end of this transformative week, you'll not only carry a toolkit of mindfulness practices but also a renewed sense of vitality and balance that will extend well beyond your Worktation experience.

    As in the first week, there are plenty of activities you can join after work and also free time to do and visit the places your like the most.

That itinerary is perfect, how do I sign up?

A note from JC…

We all want to achieve great things. A good position. Some recognition. Money to pay the bills. Money to enjoy life with the ones we love. And much much more.

All this requires work. We can't make money if we are not contributing value to an extent. And without the right awareness, this can take too much for our minds and bodies.

At times this can immerse us in states of chaos where anxiety and stress get into us. They make the journey harder than it actually has to be.

And there you might be... and that's okay. Because you CAN and WILL get out from there.

I have been through the same journey you are in. I was burned out by the same traps and now I am in the best shape  I have ever been.  Mentally, fiscally and spiritually.

And while everyone is different, my mission is to show you the steps that I took.

So then, you can take yours and find what works for you. And through that get balance back into your life.

This is why I continue to work in this through this company.

I can't wait for you to join me in this experience of working together to get back in balance.
