A retreat for general arts practitioners

If you have a creative project you long to spend time with — a creative work, an artistic practice, a professional inquiry, or a reflective project — this retreat offers you time, space, and focus in a beautiful setting.

Each day there will also be optional guided walks in the magical La Selva forest and along the stunning Costa Brava coastline.Lunch and dinner will be served around the giant table, with food freshly prepared by our superb Cordon Bleu, Michelin star restaurant trained chef, Lucy Doherty.

A retreat for those who want to learn more about the magical sytems of nature and ecology

This retreat offers gentle, sensory-based journeys into the quiet heart of the forest for both everyday nature lovers and practicing artists, where moss, mycelium, birdsong and wind all feel like parts of one living, breathing system that we also belong to.

On this retreat we step out of the rush of daily life and into an older, deeper world where time stretches and the senses really wake up. Wandering under the trees we notice the subtle relationships—between fungi and roots, birds and berries, soil-smells and rain—that make the forest feel like a responsive, intelligent being.

Join internationally renowned guide and tracker Kristian De La Riva as he reveals aspects of the magic of the natural world.

If you have a brilliant idea but aren’t sure how to bring it to life on the page, if you’re floundering in the middle of a draft, if you just can’t find the time to finish the damn thing – join us for five magical days and six convivial nights this Autumn and let us help you.

Highlights of your writing holiday will include: one-to-one consultations and stimulating workshops led by PRISCILLA MORRIS, Women’s Prize shortlisted author of Black Butterflies; classes to generate and craft writing facilitated by our wonderful guest author, MELISSA FU, whose debut novel Peach Blossom Spring was a BBC Radio 2 Book Club Pick; ample writing and free time; a writing table in each room; a guided walk of the local area and a trip to the sea and the rugged Costa Brava; access to magical forest trails; dips in the pool; dinner out in a harbour-side seafood restaurant and delicious meals prepared by a Cordon Bleu-trained chef.

Come, write, enjoy! Unlock your creative potential and take your writing to the next level in 2026.

A retreat for walkers and nature-lovers.

This Walking Retreat is designed for creative minds and anyone who finds inspiration in nature. We invite you to join us, to wander through the untouched heart of the forested Gavarres hills and along the wild coastline of the Costa Brava.

On these walks you’ll encounter deep history: prehistoric dolmens hidden among the Mediterranean pines, mysterious standing stones, ancient stone circles and the quiet ruins of forgotten chapels. There will be opportunities on several of the days for rejuvenating sea-swimming on some of the Costa Brava’s legendary beaches.

There will be ample downtime in the afternoons for journalling and relaxing by the pool.
