Barcelona 22-26 May 2024
Take a moment to remember what inspires you.
Join us to share and deepen this source of inspiration.
Five revitalising days amidst nature
to connect with fellow creative spirits.
Time to remember what matters
A time that you will remember
A few days outside of time.
We offer time and space to cultivate togetherness and reverence for life through artistic experience, exchange, and expression. We believe in art that deepens our relationship to other people and to the rest of nature. Our main instruments are nothing more than our bodies, voices, and imagination. In this retreat, we work chiefly with theatre, song, storytelling, and visual arts.
Bhakti (भक्ति) is a Sanskrit term usually translated as loving devotion. Originally it simply meant participation. It is derived from the root word bhaj (भाज्), which means to share, to partakae in, and to belong to.
We view devotion as gratitude in action and tread a path loving service to life, visible and invisible. We view art as a means of thanksgiving and peacebuilding, internal and external.
