Our first edition — the Founder’s Pilot — takes place October 22–27, 2026 (5 nights / 6 days).

Yes — absolutely.
Most participants are solo female travellers.
The retreat is designed to be welcoming, contained and supportive from the first moment.
If you choose a shared accommodation option, placements are made thoughtfully.
Most participants are 30+, though there is no strict age limit.
What matters is a shared mindset: curiosity, respect, openness and enjoyment of embodied cultural experiences.
Flamenco Rising takes place at Acepados, a private countryside estate located approximately one hour from Seville, in southern Spain.
The estate offers silence, privacy and uninterrupted time — essential conditions for this type of experience.
Acepados is not a venue designed for events or tourism.
It is a private estate that allows the retreat to exist without external noise, neighbours or distractions.
The place holds the experience quietly, rather than competing with it.
Flamenco Rising is created by two women who know this world from the inside.
María created Acepados, the estate where the retreat takes place. After years of hosting guests from around the world, she wanted to build a retreat entirely her own — which led her to Daliris.
Daliris is the founder and director of Talento, her flamenco tablao and school in Seville, where she has spent her career teaching flamenco as something to be lived, not performed.
Together, they built Flamenco Rising around what each of them knows best: hosting, and flamenco.
Group transfers to and from Seville Airport are included at designated times.
Guests are responsible for booking their own flights.
Arrival and departure windows will be shared in advance to coordinate transfers smoothly.
The retreat is designed as a fully on-site, all-inclusive experience, including:
Details are shared after application.
This first edition is a small, intentional pilot — a way to bring Flamenco Rising to life with a founding group of women before opening it more widely.
Joining as a founder comes with special pricing — from €2,100 (shared room) to €3,000 (private room) — with full details confirmed directly after your application.
In return, we ask founding participants for a short testimonial, permission to use photos and video from the retreat, and a brief conversation afterwards to help us refine future editions.
It is not a transaction — it is an invitation to help shape what Flamenco Rising becomes.
Pricing for the Founder’s Pilot starts at €2,100 per person for a shared room, up to €3,000 for a private double room (single use).
This includes accommodation at Acepados, all meals, flamenco sessions with Daliris and her team, cultural activities, and group transfers to and from Seville Airport.
Exact pricing and availability are confirmed personally after your application.
Food is an essential part of Flamenco Rising.
The culinary approach is simple, thoughtful and rooted in Andalusian cuisine, designed to support the embodied work and the shared life of the retreat.
Meals are shared without rush, as part of the experience.
Dietary requirements can usually be accommodated with advance notice.

Alcohol is present as part of daily life and culture — never as a focus or obligation.
