La Casa Dorada
Presence, play and embodied connection
Rather than centering a single formal meditation lineage, La Casa Dorada makes room for embodied, relational practice: presence, communication, movement and mindful exploration. Hosts Chris and Simone describe a culture built around consent, respect and openness, where participants can speak boundaries and meet personal edges at their own pace. The contemporary house stands on a small rise amid a lush garden, giving gatherings an easygoing retreat atmosphere, while a yoga studio, pool, sauna and spa support time on and off the mat. Programs explore Tantra and holistic embodiment, with expression through words, sound, emotion and movement encouraged. This is a place for people curious about connecting more honestly with themselves and others, not a silent retreat with a fixed daily template. Retreat formats, menus and activities differ by event, so read the details for the dates you have in mind. Roda de Berà is reachable from Reus Airport, with Barcelona also within driving distance.

Setting
A contemporary house on a small rise is surrounded by a lush garden, with a relaxed atmosphere for gathering and retreat. The grounds and yoga studio create spaces for both shared practice and quieter pauses; a pool, sauna and spa add options for unwinding.
The practice
Sessions are framed around holistic embodiment, mindful presence and explorations of Tantra rather than a single fixed sitting formula. Depending on the retreat, practices may invite participants to notice sensation, communicate boundaries, and express themselves through voice, emotion or movement. Newcomers can expect an emphasis on consent and respect; check the event page for the specific practices and level of participation.
A typical day
There is no single house timetable: the daily rhythm and activities vary with each retreat. A program may include embodied or mindful group sessions, time to rest or use the garden and facilities, and shared meals, but check the event details for the actual schedule.
Accommodation
Lodging arrangements and room types depend on the retreat and are not described here. Confirm accommodation and what is included with the hosts for your chosen event.
What to bring
Pack comfortable clothes that allow movement, plus layers for cooler mornings and evenings, especially in winter. Summers are warm, so bring sun protection and swimwear if you plan to use the pool or spa facilities.
