Your Holistic Oasis Shinrin-Yoku Retreat will be guided by NiWa, an experienced practitioner who has developed a deep connection with the local forests over the past decade. Her journey into the world of Shinrin-Yoku began four years ago when she received a book on the subject as a gift from her mother before returning to Catalunya. Since then, NiWa has studied the book in-depth and consistently practiced the art of forest bathing, integrating its wisdom into her daily life.
NiWa's extensive experience and passion for Shinrin-Yoku make her an ideal guide for those looking to explore this transformative practice. Her dedication to the healing power of nature and her love for the regional forests ensure that you'll be in capable hands as you embark on a journey of reconnection and rejuvenation throughout the retreat.

At the Holistic Oasis Shinrin-Yoku Retreat, your day will begin with an invigorating 5:00 AM walk, followed by an energizing cold water bath to awaken your senses and prepare you for the day ahead. Afterward, you'll enjoy a nourishing breakfast to fuel your body and mind.
Throughout the retreat, you'll have the opportunity to engage in various self-reflective activities such as creating haiku poems, journaling, drawing, or simply allowing yourself time to rest and recharge. The warm summer weather provides the perfect backdrop for these pursuits, and the soothing sounds of the nearby river create a tranquil atmosphere for relaxation and introspection.
During your free time, you are encouraged to explore the breathtaking natural surroundings at your own pace, discovering the beauty and serenity of the local forests. To foster a sense of community and connection, we will gather together for delicious plant-based meals and refreshing, non-alcoholic mocktails in the evening, providing an opportunity to share experiences and insights gained throughout the day.
