Dwelling in calm

Dwelling in calm · Wellness retreat

Dwelling in calm begins as an invitation to pause, slow down and return to the body.

For three days, we will come together at Can Jou, a farmhouse surrounded by nature, to step away from everyday noise and create a space where we can breathe without rushing, listen to ourselves and allow ourselves to be supported.

Through movement, Pilates, hypopressive exercises, yoga, conscious breathing, somatic practices, dance, creativity, rituals and spaces for sharing, we will explore different ways of releasing tension and reconnecting with the present moment.

We are not seeking to do more, but quite the opposite: to give ourselves permission simply to be. To listen to what the body needs, rest, share, enjoy nature and return to a gentler rhythm.

The retreat includes accommodation, full board with natural food, and all practices and workshops, in a small group so that we can offer attentive support and preserve the intimacy of the space.

A weekend to let go of the rush, breathe deeply and inhabit yourself more gently.

What is included?

We want you to be able to set logistics aside during these days and simply focus on being, resting and enjoying the experience.

• 3 days and 2 nights of accommodation at Can Jou, surrounded by nature.
• Full board, with natural, seasonal food prepared with care, prioritising local and organic products.
• All practices, activities and workshops included during the retreat.
• Spaces for movement, breathing, rest, creativity and connection.
• Somatic tools and practices that you can integrate into your everyday life afterwards.
• Close support throughout the weekend, ensuring that the space is intimate, safe and respectful of each person's pace.
• Dietary adjustments in case of allergies or intolerances, provided that you let us know in advance.

A few days designed so that you need not take care of anything other than listening to yourself and allowing yourself to be cared for.

Transport to Can Jou and personal travel.
A private room, available for an additional 10 € per night and subject to availability.
Any personal service or expense not included in the activities and meals covered by the retreat.

Everything else is designed so that, once you arrive, you can let go of organising things and focus on living the experience.

🌿 Food that supports you too

During the retreat, we will enjoy homemade vegan food prepared with care, designed to nourish us and make us feel good.

Eating will also be part of the experience: pausing, savouring, sharing the table and listening to what the body needs.

The best way to reach Can Jou is by car. The house itself recommends approaching from Sant Jaume de Llierca:

Enter the village and look for Carrer Indústria. Follow it to the end, leave the built-up area and cross the bridge over the Fluvià River. From there, a gently uphill paved track of around 5 km leads directly to Can Jou.

📍 Coordinates: 42°12'09.0"N, 2°46'43.6"E
🚗 It is approximately 6 km from Sant Jaume de Llierca, 15 km from Besalú and 30 km from Olot.

For the retreat listing, I would write something along the lines of: “We recommend arriving by car. Once in Sant Jaume de Llierca, Can Jou is reached via a paved track of around 5 km surrounded by woodland.”
