La Cura: A Space to Rest, Reset + Reconnect
A centuries old farm ("La Cura"), a short remove from Girona, Spain, amid acres of walnut trees and hops fields, lovingly restored to be a reminder that La Cura, the cure, lies within each of us.
Eight Rooms - Each Uniquely Restorative
Each of the rooms can be configured for a couple, or a solo traveler, or as a shared room for two friends. And each room has its own unique, private bathroom.
Before Games of Thrones...
As a compliment to our yoga practices, we'll visit nearby Girona. Girona has always been a bright jewel in Catalonia and we'll be inspired by some of the many things that make it shine.
The Call
The story of Girona's Jewish community, which dates back to the 9th Century, is being brought forward by The Museum of Jewish History and The Bonastruc ça Porta Centre in the medieval neighborhood known as the Call. We'll learn about how Girona was a renowned Kabbalistic school in the 13th Century, bringing structure to the study of Jewish mysticism.
The Cathedral of Saint Mary
The reward for climbing up 90 steps to the entrance of the Cathedral of Saint Mary is the experience of standing amid the largest Gothic nave in the world, spanning 75 feet (only St. Peter's in Vatican City is wider). And yes, you'll be walking through a set piece from Game of Thrones on the way up those stairs.
Walking the Walls
To walk on the Roman walls around Girona is to walk on top of history. Dating back to the 1st Century and expanded during medieval times, not only will the Muralles give us access to the past but they tee up amazing views of present-day Girona!
The Eiffel... Bridge
Before there was an Eiffel Tower in Paris, Gustav Eiffel built a bridge across the Onyar River in Girona (pictured above) which provides another breathtaking perspective on this gem of a city. It's a must to get some pictures on this bridge!
Your Room, Your Way
Your retreat costs will include room and board (gourmet plant-based meals) for 4 nights and 5 days; yoga sessions; and our excursion to Girona.
There are eight uniquely (and luxuriously) designed bedrooms, all with en suite bathrooms. On the property there are multiple nooks inside and out for quiet reflection or for making new friends and deepening treasured connections. We'll also have access to the onsite pool, Ofuro hot tub and sauna. For an additional fee, you will also be able to book self-care treatments, too!
