Retreats
Begin your journey of self-discovery towards your best version
The ground floor of the house is dedicated to extroversion: social activities, games, chats, and sharing with others. The upper floor of the house is dedicated to introspection: silence, rest, reading, meditation, reflection and introversion.
Our bathrooms and living rooms (communal and silent) are shared or semi-shared.
Our prices are per person and per day, with a minimum stay of 2 nights. There will be a 12% discount if you share your room.
Rooms
Lavander
Relaxing and spacious, this double bedroom may be used for 2 individual beds if you are coming with a friend or a 1 king-sized bed for enjoying with your partner.
Rose
Light and sweet, this king-size bedroom has revitalizing views to our garden trees and our traditional horreo.
Food
Nutrition is one of the foundations of our health, and one major pillar at Casa SanAndo. A big percentage of our food is harvested from our veggie garden Salsipuedes or foraged from the wild in our gardens and surrounding fields. Your stay includes:
- Full board with 2 daily therapeutic meals
- Open bar of medicinal infusions and teas
- Seasonal fruits or items made during your stay
Tell us if there is any food that you avoid consuming and we will put together the therapeutic meal plan. The food will be highly nutritional, medicinal, respectful with your medical history, goals of the stay, preferences and season of the year.
You will feel at home. We invite you to bring your dressing gown, slippers, or other items that make you feel comfortable at home. We advise you to bring what you regularly use for your daily health or hygiene care (yoga mat, shampoo, etc.).
Activities
When you are in Casa SanAndo you are free, only this way you enjoy the necessary health for being able to be truly happy. All activities are voluntary, although we do keep a few basic rules to ensure our values are met and the sharing of the spaces is harmonious. We restrict access to screens and avoid the use of digital items as much as possible. In exchange, you will have:
- Access to our health library and bicycles.
- Our different garden areas where you will even be able to interact with the domestic, farm and wild animals that surround and inhabit the space with us, contributing to a healthy microbiome!
- You can enter Salsipuedes, our veggie garden (or what we call SupperMarket), bathe in the river nearby, go hiking, forage, receive treatments from our clinic, rest in a hammock while listening to the birds or meditate in any of our beautiful areas…
- You may also ask for materials for painting, writing, or dancing: anything you may need for healing.
We invite you to open yourself up to experience new and previously unexplored sensations, activities and states-of-being, or to do it from our perspective, carved out after years of expansion, learning and gathering the most natural and healthy practices that we have selected due to sustainability and joy, throughout the world and our multiple travels.
In the smooth flow of day to day, through games and dynamics, with talks and workshops, or through art and improvisation, we will learn about:
- Anatomy and physiology of the human body
- The cosmogonic vision of traditional medicines
- To recognize plants and how to use them
- To save a life in the face of danger or an emergency
- To listen to our emotions and intuitions
- To heal our wounds
- To honor our existence while honoring everything else
- We will learn to live with the environment and with ourselves
