This Time Last Year: Alma Frequencies at Six Senses Ibiza – field notes on beauty & substance…

On the cliffs of Xarraca Bay, Alma Frequencies at Six Senses Ibiza distilled wellness to its essence: clear conversation, intelligent ritual, and the kind of beauty that lets your nervous system exhale.

Alma Frequencies is one of those gatherings that reminds you why we do this work. Set against the cliffs and pines of Six Senses Ibiza, it brings together art, ideas, and nervous-system-friendly rituals in a way that feels both elevated and grounded.

I went with my sister, a clinical psychologist. Experiencing it through both lenses – mine as a founder and curator, hers as a clinician – was fascinating. We noticed the same things, but valued them for different reasons: I clocked the sensory design and flow; she clocked safety, structure, and what would actually hold in the real world.

Highlights that stayed with me

  • Sanctum hike & experience – a powerful, paced journey of breath, movement and music on the coastal paths. I had a proper release – full ‘ugly-cry’ – and felt lighter for it. I love what Sanctum do.
  • Shamanic breathwork session – it really put me through it: tremors, tears, and then an unmistakable quiet after. The kind of experience you integrate for weeks.
  • Arizona Muse on sustainable fashion – generous, thoughtful, and practical. Her charity DIRT (regenerative agriculture & soil health) gave the conversation real stakes and a clear “what next.”
  • longevity spa moment for my back – simple red light that took the edge off – proof that good protocols in well-held spaces can make a difference.
  • A serendipitous sauna chat with Andy from Celler8 (who later spoke at our New Energies event). I love when the right people appear in the right rooms.
  • Breakfast on the terrace, and that Xarraca Bay light – the landscape doing half the healing.

What Alma Frequencies is (in brief)

A curated, multi-day experience layering talks, workshops, music, and gentle practices – more depth than hype. It draws a thoughtful crowd: creatives, founders, practitioners, and people who care about living well without turning it into performance.

The hotel, in a line

Six Senses Ibiza does what the brand does best: nature-first architecture, calm rooms, a serious wellness programme (longevity, spa, breath, sound), and food that makes your body exhale.

Two perspectives, one takeaway

  • Founder lens: choreography matters – light, sound, pace, and good hosts create the safety that lets content land.
  • Clinician lens: consent, clarity, and regulation come first. Sessions that respect those boundaries are the ones people actually integrate.
