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.

FROM THE HEART
What our participants are saying
“It was one of the best investments for my soul and inner child! It was a place to rest, yet a fully active and stimulating experience. I loved the feeling of being in sync with nature! While engaging in these activities, life becomes so still that you take the time to hear, play, and connect to nature and its inhabitants.
I learnt the importance of listening to my body. I also loved learning how to build and express myself artistically. The location is an unpretentious paradise that allows you to soak up wholesomeness, still your mind, and heal. I returned to the city fully revitalised.
I truly loved the experience and left feeling very grateful for the opportunity to connect. It was a pleasure to spend time with such a beautiful group and such humble, knowledgeable facilitators.”
– Ekta
“The experience was incredibly enriching and eye-opening. Without you even realizing it, Nicole and Marie gradually disconnect you from the noise you carry, transforming it into resources that reconnect you with yourself. It’s an invitation to return to the artisanal—from gazing at the sky and jotting down thoughts to moving your body with vibrations.
It’s a reset we all need—to break free from autopilot and reconnect with what’s simple, essential, and authentic.
The facilitators gently and respectfully guide you out of control and into the unknown, inviting you to explore. I really appreciated their ability to manage time and keep the group energised—it made the experience both enjoyable and productive.”
– Tati
“Attending the retreat was one of the most transformative and heart-opening experiences of my life. From the moment I arrived, I felt wrapped in safety and warmth—as if I’d been given permission to be fully myself. It was a space where vulnerability wasn’t feared, but embraced.
Nestled in a sanctuary far from the city, I reconnected with something I hadn’t realized I’d lost—my true essence. Surrounded by nature, I awakened to a deeper awareness of my senses: the fragrance of the earth, the texture of stillness, the richness of each taste.
This retreat reminded me that healing doesn’t have to be lonely—that there is beauty in coming undone, and even greater beauty in rediscovering yourself among others on the path.”
