3 Day Bespoke Digital Detox Silent Mountain Retreat in Spain

Ready to untangle? In an age of constant connectivity, analog living is the ultimate rebellion. Trade digital noise for the raw stillness of a 130-year-old mountain hermitage. This experience is one-on-one, meaning the container is built entirely around your specific needs, with discretion and personal autonomy being paramount.

This is a personal, private retreat; off-grid, with no phone signal, filtered spring water, and organic food. The depth of the experience is dictated by you: ranging from a strict, deep-immersion silent retreat to a simple, restorative digital detox. There are no forced schedules or wellness trends; instead, we hold space for the basic rhythms of rest, food, movement, expression, and connection. You have the freedom to do as much or as little as you want as you return to your own presence.

The length of stay depends entirely on your personal needs. If you have questions about the terrain or the logistics of the hermitage, I am happy to chat.

Note on the 2026 Solar Eclipse: On August 12th, 2026, the house sits at “Zero Point” for the total solar eclipse. This is a rare, high-intensity window for those seeking a profound shift.
(Note: Minimum 8-day booking required for the eclipse period).

The 3 Gardens and Spring Water:
There are also three gardens (one for food, a small one next to the house with flowers, and one further up the mountain which offers total privacy, great views, and fruit trees. They are all organic. All the water comes directly from a mountain spring and is filtered through a Phoenix water filter.

The Art Studio and Home Office:
The house is the studio. You are welcome to use your room or the studio to work on your art. An adjustable standing desk can be put in your room by request. Since the house is at the beginning stages of renovation there is currently more flexibility regarding how to use and work with the space in and around the house for art. Currently, we do not offer art materials with the exception of paintbrushes. You are welcome to use the office. There is a large monitor, HDMI cable, printer, web camera, and printer.

Home Trails and the Natural Environment:
There are 6-8 trails accessible directly from the house that lead up and around the mountain, offering various lengths and difficulty levels. These trails are typically empty, providing a quiet space to be by yourself. This is the side of a mountain. It is steep, can be muddy, and best with proper boots, a hat, and a walking stick. It’s a place for those who find beauty in the raw, natural world. With numerous home trails and longer higher hikes in the area, this is a paradise for hikers or those who enjoy the process and teachings of mountain and forest wisdom. There are wild animals in the area but are seldom seen during the day.

Home Animals:
The house is also home to a puppy (Elio) and three cats (Zuzu, Rooney, and Bibi). You’ll likely find their company to be a grounding presence during your stay. They are warm, affectionate, and good with people. You are welcome to take Elio on hikes, sometimes Rooney joins too.

Shared Responsibility:
Besides your private room, the rest of the house is shared. Please leave them as you found them, dishes washed, and spaces tidied. We both contribute to keeping the home a peaceful environment.

The Practice of the Physical:
There is a spiritual quality to the basic chores here. Whether it is chopping wood for the stove, carrying water, or pulling weeds in the garden, these actions become the practice. You are more than welcome to join me in these daily activities if you feel called to learn or participate, whether that is tending the garden or chopping wood but there is absolutely no pressure to do so.

Crooked & Artsy:
This is a traditional Spanish mountain home as well as an artist studio and a spiritual hermitage. It is eccentric and encourages authenticity. The floors aren’t level, the wood can creak, and the walls are thin. It is authentic and charming, but it is not soundproof. A home full of hand made things, colors and textures. The house has personality and also is in a process of change. Also, there will be no major renovations while retreats are being held.

Social Flow & Food:
You are always welcome to join me on walks with Elio or take Elio out with you. We might cook or eat together if it feels right, but there is no requirement to do so or even socialize. You are encouraged to go at your own pace, and I will do the same.
