the location
LA COSTA BRAVA, SPAIN
La Costa Brava has long been a source of inspiration to many artists like Picasso, Dalí, and Miró.
The uniqueness and tranquility of this place will soon have a special place in your heart.
During the retreat, we will explore the hidden gems of Sant Pol and Cala Sa Conca; small, quaint and quiet cove beaches where you can hear the waves caress the sun-kissed shore.
The crystal clear water of the Mediterranean Sea is nestled in between rocks and trees.

the venue
01
About 1h30 from Barcelona, our venue is set in the countryside, surrounded by nature. The venue is a recently refurbished ‘masia’, which used to be a traditional Catalan countryside home. The spectacular architecture of this stone brick venue has a warm rustic modern minimalistic style; it feels luxurious, but also inviting and welcoming. There is a salt water pool and a lovely garden with luscious greenery. An outside area with a firepit is also available, where we will gather under a starry sky. The gorgeous antique sun clock on the façade of the building dates back to 1949.
It honestly feels like something out of an Architectural Digest YouTube video.
If you love interior design, you will love this!
TO NOURISH YOUR SOUL
YOUR SAFE SPACE
THE ROOMS
02
All ensuite rooms are of ample size and have two comfortable single beds. You will be paired with someone to share your room, or you can also request to share it with a friend. We will put you in touch with your room partner before the retreat, so that you can get to know each other.
There is the option to upgrade the room to a single room at an additional cost, please get in touch via email for more info.
Be mindful of the fact that since we will be doing different activities and spending time in nature, you will not be spending a lot of time in your room. Free personal time will be scheduled in the retreat for you to recharge and plant the seeds of your new aligned creations.
THE FOOD
PLANT-BASED & GLUTEN FREE
Food is the way to the heart! The retreat food will be a menu designed exclusively for the retreat, made with 100% plant-based and gluten-free fresh ingredients. We aim to work with local food suppliers that primarily grow organic produce.
Our desire is to create the type of food that you would get in a high-end restaurant, but to make it feel like a heart-warming nourishing homemade meal. Full of flavours, colours, and nourishment.
Our talented chef Carolina, who has trained with Matthew Kenney, and our sous-chef Alejandra will be lovingly preparing the most delicious food for you. If you have any food intolerances or allergies, it is your responsibility to let us know in advance.

ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE
Lucia Dami operates as a bridge between art and mysticism to depict the essence of her subjects through ethereal illustrations rooted in the divine feminine.
For Lucia, illustrations go beyond artistic representation, they tap into occult realms and take inspiration from nature, the stars, and her dreams. Lucia’s art aims to “re-enlighten the person’s beauty and power in their own eyes.”
The discovery of tarot in her late teens prompted her to nurture her sixth-sense and forge a divinatory path. Merging her talents as an oracle and an artist has awarded Lucia with a special form of alchemy that transcends multiple mediums.

Originally from Estonia, Julia Astok is a photographer and art director, who finds her inspiration through Nordic nature, poetry and the simple, yet unique moments of life.
Julia believes in the beauty of the human soul and captures it through her own melancholic and dreamy world. The dreamy essence of her work lies in her ability to create harmony between colours and her excellent use of light.
Julia is based in-between London and Estonia.
Julia will be hosting two photography workshops during the retreat. Expect some magic!

"The retreat was awesome! I was particularly impressed by the precise organisation and the fantastic amount of sessions available. The teachers were special and the sessions were so different and complete; every day I was super excited to learn and experience new things. The possibility of connecting with other like minded souls is priceless!'

- GUEST from London
"This retreat came to me, just when I needed it most. Before the retreat I was feeling slightly lost and anxious, fearful and down. During and after I feel a sense of clarity, hope, love, trust and most importantly a sense of belonging. I feel ready to tackle situations in my life that I was fearful to face. But with the courage and trust that I was able to cultivate from this retreat, I feel excited and ready!"

- GUEST from France
"I loved this online retreat. I experienced accelerated healing and deep self-reflection, and truly felt so in touch with myself. A few weeks on, I still feel so aligned with myself, both deeply and on the surface, striving to align my actions with my core values. The Nourish to Flourish retreat brought me self-acceptance and a softening of my exterior, too. There were so many speakers from whom I learned about caring for my body, my mind and my spirit. I also experienced new ways of being in motion or in rest, as in the yoga nidra and dance classes. Thank you for this experience."
