Anam Casa Medicina
Rural Andalusian space for inner work
At Anam Casa Medicina, inner work is framed as a search for the sacred within ordinary human vulnerability, rather than as a polished escape from it. The retreat's named focus is plant medicine, within a rural farmhouse setting called Cortijo Andalou Fuente Anityia, surrounded by nature. A pool and kitchen give the venue an easygoing, lived-in feel, while meals bring a home-cooked note: ingredients from the house garden, homemade jam, peanut and sesame cream, and Colombian-style chicken broth are among the offerings. Gluten-free bread can be requested, and vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and other dietary options are listed. This is a paid retreat, with stays advertised from €640, for visitors drawn to supported inner work in Andalusia. Details such as ceremony format, daily rhythm and what the fee includes are best discussed with the organizers before booking.
