LOCATION
A sanctuary of wild beauty, at the end of a forest track
Our workshops and retreats unfold at a beautifully restored 18th-century masia, just a 15-minute walk from the charming village of Canyamars and 45 minutes from Barcelona. Tucked away in a lush forest at the edge of the rolling hills of El Montnegre i El Corridor Natural Park, this hidden and unpretentious haven feels a world apart.
Rooted in the principles of permaculture and guided by the rhythms of nature, the retreat invites you into the evolving heart of an off-grid farm and regenerative living lab. It’s a sanctuary of thriving biodiversity—perfect for igniting creativity, forging meaningful connections, and rediscovering inner calm. The rainwater plunge pool offers a refreshing retreat, ideal for unwinding and recharging in nature.
The surrounding area of Canyamars in Dosrius is a gem, celebrated for its rich biodiversity, historic landmarks, scenic hiking and cycling trails, and traditional Catalan farmhouses.
Testimonials from Embodied Nature
“ I felt I freed my body from the leash of daily routine. It was fun to dance like no one was watching. The sound meditation was such a relaxing experience. It allowed me to melt into the sound vibrations. It’s the next level of relaxation when done in nature, with birds chirping in the background. ”
Ekta
“ Dancing with the fire, feeling the body's vibration through the sound bowls, closing my eyes and listening to nature, but with a clear and guided purpose, had a deep impact on my body and emotions. It felt like we were all tuning into the same frequency, individually and together. ”
Tati
“ The meditation sessions and sound bowl journeys took me to realms beyond words, deeply healing, otherworldly, and profoundly grounding all at once.”
