A Retreat into Stillness
Six Days of Slow Living in the Catalan Countryside
The Essence
Across six slow, intentional days, the outside world softens. The Masía — surrounded by private forest, warm Mediterranean air and quiet light — becomes a sanctuary where your breath deepens, your body unwinds and your mind finds space again. Silent forest walks, somatic practices, plant‑based culinary rituals and sensory experiences guide you back to presence, clarity and inner steadiness.
What's to Expect
The sanctuary is a restored Catalan farmhouse set within acres of private woodland. Each day moves with purpose: sunrise grounding walks, breathwork, Pilates, QiGong, botanical workshops and creative plant‑based cuisine. Between sessions, there is time to rest by the pool, journal, wander the forest or simply enjoy the quiet.
Across six slow, intentional days, wellbeing takes centre stage. Through mindful movement, breathwork, sensory rituals, nourishing food and time in nature, the experience creates space to reconnect with yourself and with others. A small-group journey designed to slow down, restore and build meaningful connections that can last beyond the retreat.
