What does the package include?

Pottery teacher Denise Kratzer

Denise

Denise Kratzer is the owner of db-pottery. She has a degree in business administration and event marketing. During the Corona period, she created her own pottery brand, db-pottery. However, she has already been working regularly and passionately with clay for four years.

Pottery has now become a focal point in her life, an activity where she can realize herself and escape from everyday life for a short time. The high level of concentration at the potter's wheel and its continuous motion have a meditative, almost hypnotic effect. Denise is doing something for her mind and soul - something that is unfortunately often neglected in everyday life. Based on her own experience, she can therefore recommend her motto to everyone: "Clear your mind with dirtty hands."

Pottery teacher Ljubica

Ljubica

Ljubica Jozic is the course instructor (English) of L Shapes Ceramics and right hand of db-pottery Studio. She learned and fell in love with her craft in her hometown, Belgrade. Since then she has been fascinated by clay. Her creations on the wheel as well as her hand-built objects speak for themselves. Ljubica teaches the db-pottery taster and quick courses in English.

Camp founder Katrin Rose-Michaelsen

Katrin

Katrin is the co-founder of A-Frame and has built up the entire yoga area there. She is a trained yoga and meditation teacher and a qualified sports scientist. Her interest in people and their holistic health has shaped her path from the very beginning. Her classes are characterized by detailed instruction and a pleasant balance between calm and dynamism. She wants to create a space where everyone can come into their own and develop to the maximum. In addition to the physical aspect, Katrin loves yoga philosophy and psychology and incorporates this content into her classes through meditations, journaling and short lectures. For Katrin, yoga is a holistic approach to life that goes beyond physical activity and brings mindfulness into all areas of our lives.

"Clear Your Mind With Dirty Hands" - We are very much looking forward to this special 1-week retreat where we combine traditional craftsmanship with yoga.

Pottery course
This 1-week pottery course is something for your mind and soul. By practising this ancient traditional craft, you will get your creativity flowing again and inspire each other together with the other course participants.

The pottery & yoga retreat

Denise from db-pottery studio in Zurich has been to our camp several times with her family for family surfing vacations. This gave rise to the desire to bring her passion for pottery to this magical place.

She has been working with clay since 2016 and runs a pottery studio with 70 members, where she regularly runs workshops. Together with her colleague Ljubica, she will guide you with all her knowledge, experience and passion through this pottery week, which is also a journey to you and your creativity.

Every morning begins with a balancing yoga session in our yoga house right by the sea. Katrin, the co-founder of A-Frame, guides you through a pleasant flow that recharges you with energy that relaxes and grounds you. Embedded in meditation and relaxation and with the sound of the waves in your ears, it is the perfect start to the day and gives your vacation that extra dose of relaxation.

Pottery course for mind and soul

The pottery course is run with a maximum of 12 participants. We have a total of three potter's wheels on site and bring along some tools for hand-building pottery. You do not need to have any previous pottery experience, but you are also welcome to take part in our courses as an advanced pottery enthusiast, which we will customise to your individual needs.

    Absolutely fantastic time we had here, great beaches, lovely staff, fantastic food, -- no really, the food is among the best I have ever had, day after day -- very lovely guests and super convenient distances to the surfing.

    - Surfing: the whole schedule is centered around the surf times, and for good reason. The staff make sure that the groups always get the best waves of the day, even if that means taking a short drive somewhere else. The equipment is great for learners (I cannot judge the hard tops etc) with clean, relatively new, and fitting wet-suits. In addition to the lessons we can always go for more sessions privately, with access to the equipment.

    - Lessons: The teachers are fantastic, their joy is contagious, they made learning super fun. In addition to great individual feedback there are additional offerings in terms of lectures, e.g. on wave theory. The video analysis also really helps to internalize some additional feedback. But again, the teachers are great!

    - Food: Great food, always accommodating dietary restrictions, and with great variety. Every meal is different to the last, the meals are flexible if you're almost an hour late it's still usually fine, and they make sure you have enough of all the food you could want. Unlimited coffee, tea and fruit is also a great addition. Beer and wine cost extra, but at basically no markup. But once again: best food, fantastic, 6/5.

    - Lodgings: Apartments where you will either be with the group you traveled with, or other guests. Clean, quiet, daily cleaning, everything you really need if you want to retreat during the day, or even cook a meal. WiFi is fast enough to fulfill most use cases.

    - Common areas: allow all levels of socializing, provide fantastic views, promote meeting your fellow surfers.

    - Yoga: I am not a fan of yoga, so I didn't do any, but the ones who did said is was great.

    - Additional services: Photos from your surfing adventures and mishaps are available, massages, additional outings outside of the surf lessons (for example surf-skating) are on offer as well, providing a beautiful well rounded programme for the entire day.

    - Vibes: 10/10, chill, social, down-to-earth, helpful.

    Overall, better holiday than for example a ski trip in November (and I love skiing too). Come here!

    This has already been our second stay at A-Frame and again it was a super relaxed week and overall a holiday that can‘t be much better. We, a family with a toddler, can ony recommend this place to other families who are looking for a relaxed holiday with yoga, surf and amazing food. The people at A-Frame from surf coach to kitchen staff are just super friendly and you feel very much taken care at all times. Thanks so much to the whole team for another great holiday experience. We‘ll be back for sure.

    Pretty much a perfect vacation. I learned to surf, did a lot of yoga, soaked up the beautiful weather, ate delicious food, and met some wonderful people. I don't speak German or Spanish and the staff switched to English to make everything easy for me. El Palmar is a very chill area and from there it's easy to make day trips to Conil, Vejer, and Cádiz.

    Thoroughly enjoyed our stayed at A-Frame. Super friendly and helpful staff. We were always received with a smile and welcoming attitude. Shoutout to the kitchen people who were kind, and did an incredible job of serving tasty, healthy, and varied food that we all loved. We came with three small children and they all had a great time - surf lessons, board games, ping-pong table among other fun activities.

    The house was spacious, well-kept, and clean. Would definitely stay there again if visiting El Palmar in the future.
