Restore and explore. This retreat will be a full body and spirit reset. We will gather at La Cura, a dreamy centuries old Catalan farm beautifully restored as a wellness retreat just 20 minutes from Girona and 90 minutes from Barcelona. Our restorative haven is surrounded by 40 acres of walnut trees, with access to wonderful hiking and cycling trails, just 20 minutes from the beaches of the Costa Brava, the most glorious coast in Spain.

Easeful mornings for meditation or a walk around the farm, then we gather for long-form ALTER movement practices in a gorgeous, light-drenched yoga shala, integrating meditation and guided journaling sessions. One of the highlights of our retreat will be wonderful meals prepared by Nuria, a local chef, whose farm-to-table dishes are made with love and a dash of Catalan flavors. 

Afternoons are free for indulging in the villa's many wellness offerings: a plunge in the pool or hot tub, meditation in the sauna, session in the pilates studio, or a hike or personal mentorship session with Nicole.

We will gather again for an early evening ALTER restorative and meditation practice followed by a leisurely dinner with rich conversation. Woven with a few surprises...

We will be venturing on two optional group excursions into the vibrant area with transportation provided: an afternoon exploring the cultural layers of the medieval city of Girona, and another at a stunning turquoise cove beach on the Costa Brava.

An optional retreat extension with Nicole welcomes you to Barcelona: over 3 nights and 4 days, we will explore the city's rich spiritual and artistic masterpieces, including the Sagrada Familia and Park Güell, mindfully encountering these sacred spaces as sparks for our own creativity.

Retreat check-in begins at 3:00 on May 1st.

Our retreat programming will conclude with a celebratory brunch at 12:00 May 5th. You may check out at the farm until 2:30pm.
