RIVER MOUNTAIN RETREAT

Join us for a week of crafts and nature immersion in our favourite, secluded mountains in the Alpujarras of Southern Spain. We are hosting a 6 day natural craft retreat near Órgiva, Spain (1 hour from Granada). The retreat takes place in an off-grid community in the mountains with exquisite view and access to the river. We will be harvesting and weaving baskets with esparto, learn about syntropic agroforestry, forage wild herbs, and build with wild clay. We will swim in the river, heat up the sauna, hike downstream to the local crafts market, and take a trip to Granada and visit a 500 year old ceramics studio, and a moorish hammam.

All meals will include herbs, fruits and vegetables from the land. The retreat takes place in the off-grid community Union de los Rios, in the outskirts of Órgiva. Here there is a comfortable and spacious house with water, electricity and a fireplace.

The place also has: direct access to the riverbank, a clay sauna, a straw-bale music studio, a syntropic community forest garden, and a democratic school. We will spend this week being nourished by the sun, the mountains and river, and receiving inspiration from the land, culture and local crafts.
