Retreat Highlights
- What’s our secret sauce is our unique location and energy. While being easily accessible by road, it is nestled within a pristine natural reserve, offering a harmonious blend of the four life elements: Sun (fire), Sea (water), Fresh air (wind), Nature (earth).
- This combination creates the perfect environment for a Vipassana training, where the objective is to let go and be mindful of the various elements inside and outside of you, to observe your thoughts and feel your surroundings.
- Our techniques are inspired by a combination of Mahayana Buddhism learned and practiced in a Thai Temple, Suffi Islam, and South-American Shamanism. The purpose is the same, though: To break down the Veils of your social and mental conditioning, what we refer to as "THE MATRIX".
- A typical retreat day may include a few activities such as:
- Sunrise meditations
- Tea & sharing time
- Silent nature hike with Sea view
- Cold shower / Sea
- A few hours of Vipassana meditation
- Vegetarian / Vegan Dinner
About this Retreat
At some point in life, we all reach a crossroads—a moment of doubt, where transformation is no longer a choice but a necessity. Mine came early, at 25, when I started questioning the scripted routine of wake, work, sleep, and searching for a purpose worth waking up for.
Guided by an inner calling, I embarked on a journey of deep self-exploration. After years of searching and meditating, the universe led me to create this holistic sanctuary, a space rooted in the wisdom of both ancient Eastern teachings, like Buddhism, and the Abrahamic traditions, and the shamanic connection to nature and spirit.
Our mission? To offer a space where you can disconnect from the noise, reconnect with nature, and realign with your soul’s true path. A return to harmony, inner peace, and authentic happiness.
If you feel the call, this is your invitation
Maria has a few years of experience managing people in various self-development contexts abroad, facilitating their inclusion and satisfaction during the retreats.

Disconnect to Reconnect: 44 hours of Meditation at the Heart of Nature
Step away from the noise of everyday life and immerse yourself in a sanctuary of peace, deep in the heart of a Spanish nature reserve. Here, nature takes the lead—wake up to birdsong, breathe in the pure mountain air, and let the rhythm of the land guide you back to yourself.
What awaits you:
Sunrise Chanting & Meditation
General Yoga sessions
Scenic hikes through breathtaking landscapes
Breathwork to awaken your inner energy
Refreshing cold showers straight from the source
AND mostly, hours of Vipassana or Mindfulness Meditation to raise your consciousness, grasp how your reality and emotions work, and hopefully heal and break free from some of your mental and social limitations for more presence & joy in the NOW.
This is more than a retreat—it’s a journey back to the essence of who you are, a FREE and HAPPY soul in a body with a rational mind!
Our meditation center is located 1h22 from vibrant Barcelona and 22mn from historic Tarragona, at the heart of a nature reserve on a 360° hill, with a breathtaking view of the mountains and the Mediterranean Sea, which is just 10 minutes away by car!

Schedule
1 Week to Heal & Awaken Through Sacred Plant Medicine
Your objective of the week is to reach at least 44 hours of Meditation in total (active & sitting)!
The basic yet powerful ingredient of this one-week retreat is mindfulness meditation. Being more aware of yourself, your body, feelings, thoughts, and surroundings is the basic ingredient to sustainable growth. We are not keen on easy shortcuts and psychotherapy sessions.
Please note that we mostly provide close guidance in the first 2 days of the retreat. Then, we prefer to provide the right context, exercises, and tools, and leave you to manage your own progress, healing, or growth under the watch of our team members. Combining meditation with other activities such as day fasting (optional with extra), nature hikes, cold sea swims, etc, can allow for more spiritual growth whenever the context is appropriate.
So, in brief, during a week with us:
You will first learn to focus your Mind on one point or activity, such as walking, breathing, a candle, what we call "Samatha",
You will start expanding your mind using "Vipassana" by "observing what is" within your body and mind, and also outside (sounds, lights, etc.). Day fasting will help in this process of awakening the giant within you, grasping that you are WAYYYY more than the story you currently believe!
