About Us
Welcome to WIP
A Walk in the Park
Founded in Maspalomas by Lilly Rikhter, WIP began with free outdoor sessions that brought together people of all ages and backgrounds to move, breathe, and reconnect. What started as a simple act of service has grown into a living community of teachers, artists, therapists, and seekers — united by a shared purpose: to make inner balance a way of life.
In 2025, WIP opened the WIP Meditation Center, a sacred and contemporary space where yoga, meditation, and holistic practices meet. All income from the Center supports the non-profit association, helping sustain free outdoor programs and new community projects across the Canary Islands.
We are not religious or political. We are a movement of consciousness, built on compassion, inclusion, and the bridge between ancient wisdom and modern life. From the parks to the meditation hall, WIP continues to grow — one breath, one community, one act of presence at a time.

Yesterday I participated in a sound bath that accompanied a one-hour meditation. It was the first time I’d done so, and it moved me. Not only for the peace I was able to achieve in that wonderful setting, but also for the warmth, connection, light, and love that I felt permeating my being at times. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
