Rest | Restore | Explore at l'Artesania (The Craft)

We have good news: Rest | Restore | Explore at l'Artesania (the craft) is HAPPENING this Spring from 27 April to 3 May 2025.

More Good News

It's going to be a small group, and there is space left for two people. Will you be of them?  

Even More Good News

We are offering this all-inclusive experience to two more people at a 42% discount: $2500 (instead of $4,200, which will likely be the Fall 2025 cost).

There will be no decrease of amenities, experiences, or amazingness. The retreat package still includes six days of excursions, meals, room & board**, and transportation for the scheduled retreat to/from the Barcelona airport and to all excursions.

*This includes photo and video releases for sharing photos and testimonials on retreat marketing, website & social media - we’re committed to working with you to ensure that anything shared feels authentic, respectful, and reflective of you and your experience.
** There will likely be incremental food/experience costs if you choose to shop, snack, or drink outside of the planned meal times while exploring 

Airfare to/from Barcelona airport is additional participant responsibility and is likely to range from $900-$1,500 USD roundtrip.

Connect. Restore. Grow.

Imagine resting in l'Albi's main plaza with this view of l'Artesania at night, nestled in a quiet little village with the Iglesia's bell tower in the background, having just walked back from Bar Casal for tapas and vino.
