About This Weekend
Join us for a weekend of Empathy, Connection, Vulnerability, Communication, and Building Healthy Relationships. For 48 hours, we are going to leave behind the stresses of the city and the outside world and share a weekend of play and connection with a small group of people.
We will spend the weekend in a beach house in El Masnou, 25 minutes outside of Barcelona, where we will have workshops in improvisation focusing on intimacy and relationships, bringing empathy and authenticity to the on-stage connections, and pair that with meditation, inquiry, and connection with the body. We will also have trips to the beach, games, and group bonding.
The group will be limited to 10 participants, and COVID testing will be required. Participants can have a single bed for 200€, or share a bed with a preferred partner or someone of the same gender for 175€. Prices include accommodation, meals, 10 hours of workshops, and COVID test.

COVID Protocols
The group will meet at Bar Lleida (across from Arc de Triomf) on Friday at 18h. We will all take a COVID self test together, then preview the weekend while we wait for test results. If someone tests positive, they will not be able to join for the weekend. For those testing negative, once we arrive at the beach house, masks and distancing will not be required.
If you are experiencing COVID symptoms or have been exposed to someone who has tested positive, you must not attend the retreat.
