Easy Day is a carefully held nature-based retreat centre in the Sant Aniol Valley, designed for small groups seeking depth, creativity and genuine connection.
Surrounded by wild limestone cliffs and a clear mountain river, the centre supports focused work, embodied learning, artistic expression and shared adventure.
It is not a resort, but a place of encounter — with nature, with others, and with oneself.
Arriving at Easy Day, you cross the Romanesque Pont d’en Valentí on foot — a stone bridge that has stood here for over six centuries. The house and gathering spaces sit immediately beyond it.
From the house, the creek and its pools lie a stone’s throw away at the base of limestone cliffs rising nearly 300 metres above the valley floor. When you stand here, the scale of the landscape is unmistakable — the centre is held within it.
Forest trails and open terraces begin at the doorstep, allowing groups to move naturally between the spaces of the house and the wider valley.
Easy Day is designed for groups of 8 to 25 participants. This scale allows depth of interaction, flexibility in how space is used, and a shared rhythm that larger venues often struggle to sustain.
Work unfolds across indoor and outdoor settings — shifting between contained spaces within and around the house and open terrain in the valley as your process requires.
Attention to detail is central to how we host. Lighting, flowers and thoughtful preparation create atmosphere without distraction. Refreshments are set out between sessions or when groups return from time in the valley, allowing facilitators to focus on their work while the space is quietly held.
Shared meals, informal conversation and integration are central to the rhythm of a group programme. These spaces support connection before, between and after facilitated work.
• Kitchen and main dining room at the heart of the house
• Patio with open foc a terra fireplace
• Pizza oven area for shared evenings
• Rounded stone benches overlooking the river and valley
• Outdoor sitting areas woven into the landscape
Facilitated work and creative exploration unfold across multiple settings, each offering a distinct quality of focus and containment.
• Creative Lounge within the house
• 50m² geodesic dome with wooden floor
• Native American tipi
• Natural riverside spaces for open-air sessions
The place invites playfulness, presence and shared joy alongside focused work. At Easy Day, movement, laughter and time outdoors are not separate from the process — they are part of how groups integrate what they are learning.
The sauna, especially in the cooler months, becomes a powerful tool. Heat, cold river plunges and deep rest between sessions bring people back into the body and into direct contact with the valley.
• Sauna and cold river plunges
• Volleyball, badminton and table tennis
• Shaded paths, natural rock pools and places to boulder or climb
• Pizza evenings and fire gatherings
“The Sant Aniol Valley invites us to play and adventure, to sunbathe and swim. It’s silence, beauty and harmony is contagious. It draws you in and reminds you of your own true nature. It is a powerful being and a great teacher.
Come, explore, laugh and listen!”
The Sant Aniol Valley is not simply the setting of Easy Day — it is the reason we are here.
Naturally, the valley becomes an active and essential part of a programme. Time outdoors is a way of working directly with attention, experiential knowing, embodiment and relationship.
Walking uneven ground, entering the cold river, focusing on a climb or moving along an adventure trail — these experiences playfully anchor awareness in the body and in the present moment. Free, even briefly, from past and future concerns, participants often rediscover a sense of peace and inner spaciousness.
Shared adventure and nature experiences shift group dynamics quickly. Trust builds through mutual support, laughter, small challenges and moments of vulnerability and authenticity. Hierarchies soften. Openness grows — not through theory alone, but through trust and direct encounter.
Drawing on decades of relationship with this valley, we and our team of guides offer carefully tailored explorations that respond to the needs and tone of each group. Hiking, dry riverbed journeys, rock climbing, via ferratas, canyoning or wild swimming with wetsuit and helmet can become part of the learning arc when appropriate.
Here, the landscape is not an activity. It is a co-facilitator — inviting presence, courage, humility and connection.

Groups stay on site in a combination of apartments, glamping tents and camping spaces. Accommodation at Easy Day is intentionally small-scale and rooted in what we think of as simple luxury — natural materials, warm light, comfortable beds and the privilege of sleeping in the heart of the valley.
On-site capacity typically suits groups of up to 20–25 people, using a mix of indoor rooms, glamping tents and camping.
For groups requiring single rooms, en-suite bathrooms or larger overall capacity, we collaborate with selected accommodation partners in the surrounding area while holding the programme entirely at Easy Day.
The Mountain Retreat Apartment is located on the ground floor of the main house. It offers a self-contained, open-plan living space with kitchen, bathroom and sleeping areas.
Designed with natural materials and generous light, it reflects the simple luxury that characterises the centre.
For group stays, the apartment is often combined with the Loft upstairs, glamping tents and camping spaces to create a flexible accommodation mix tailored to the needs of each group.

The Loft occupies the upper floor of the main house and includes three double bedrooms, a spacious living area and a fully equipped kitchen.
With generous light and wide views into the valley, it offers additional comfort and privacy while remaining fully connected to the life of the centre.
When available, the Loft is incorporated into group programmes as part of a flexible accommodation arrangement alongside the ground-floor apartment, glamping tents and camping spaces.

Two wooden-deck glamping tents offer comfortable accommodation immersed in the landscape, each sleeping up to four people with one double bed and two single beds. They are often combined with indoor rooms and camping to create a balanced accommodation mix for your group.
Set slightly apart from the main house, they allow guests to experience the valley more directly while remaining close to the centre’s shared spaces. Wooden decking, canvas walls and the sounds of the river create a simple yet memorable overnight experience.
The camping area sits directly beside the main house, allowing participants to sleep close to the land while remaining connected to the life of the centre.
Camping is intentionally simple. Waking with the light, hearing the river at night and stepping directly into the valley at dawn can deepen the experience of a nature-based programme. For many groups, this shared simplicity strengthens connection — both to place and to one another.
Rental tents with thin foam mattresses are available and are included in some programmes. Groups may also bring their own equipment.
Facilities are down-to-earth: compost toilets and simple bucket showers in the Asian style. They reflect the ecological and grounded ethos of the centre.
Meals shape the daily rhythm at Easy Day. Breakfasts, brunches, packed lunches and evening dinners are prepared on site and planned together with the group host.
Our kitchen is largely vegetarian and vegan, with fish offered occasionally. We cook simply and seasonally, choosing ecological and local ingredients whenever possible.
Meals are shared either at the table or served buffet-style, depending on the group and setting — candles lit, flowers placed, conversations unfolding. Breaks between sessions are marked by tea, coffee, fruit and home-baked cakes set out quietly, ready when the group returns.
Pizza nights — often on the final evening — are less a meal and more a happening. Dough is rolled, toppings shared, music begins, and the fire gathers everyone in. The week often closes here, around table and flame — sometimes with a tiramisu to finish.
