Join QUEER RETREATS for a 4-DAY EXPERIENCE with PIOTR at CASA DE COLORES just outside BARCELONA. 

This is a restorative retreat for LGBTQ+ professionals navigating transition, uncertainty, or a period of change. Whether you’re asking “What’s next?” or "What's possible?", this 4-day experience is an invitation to slow down, reconnect with your intuition, and come home to yourself - held by nature, community, and queer joy. You'll leave feeling recharged and realigned, with some more clarity about your path forward.

🌀 Group sessions for reflection

🎨 Creative exercises to spark inspiration

😌 Gentle inner work to reclaim joy and play

🌱 Embodied practices to reimagine the future

🍲 Shared meals, nature walks and conversation

🌙 Space to rest, relax and reflect

Nestled in the Catalan countryside and surrounded by majestic vineyards and mountains, Casa de Colores, our charming 16th-century masía is a relaxing escape just 50 minutes away from Barcelona. Its serene environment, modern comforts and beautiful natural backdrops provide the perfect retreat setting. (see more photos below)

Finding Balance aims to honour both our ambitions and our need for rest. Over four days, we'll explore navigating periods of transition and uncertainty without losing ourselves in the process. The programme combines restorative practices with purposeful inquiry, allowing you space to process recent changes, clarify your core values and identify practical steps for moving forward. 

🧭 Navigating transitions with curiosity & courage

😴 Reclaiming rest & pleasure as resistance

✨ Deepening inner connection & wellbeing

🔍 Clarifying values, direction & next steps

🌈 Community, collective care & connection
