Yoga is an experience or state, in which we can connect to ourselves on a mental, physical, emotional and intuitive level.

In each of the hotel rooms you will find yoga mats Casall to do your practice, as well as a very special gift that we have prepared for you and that we will give you upon arrival: a simple routine of Energy Medicine, so that you can  start the day full of vitality.

Throughout the year we organise specific yoga classes and also full retreats at the weekend. Keep up to date looking at our events calendar.

• Yoga class: 29€/person (with a minimum amount of 87€).
• Yoga retreats: please consult us

The “Connect Circuit” is a special walk organized in the area surrounding the masia, where you will learn to see the forest with new eyes, and with all the senses. It is a deep immersion; a spiritual experience connecting you with nature, and with your deep inner self.

The idea behind a forest immersion is not as a sporting activity, or to go searching for anything in particular. Instead, it is to simply walk; seeing rather than looking, listening rather than hearing, feeling our breath, sensing calmness, and recognizing simple presence of being by connecting through all the senses.

Using our Audio Guide, the “Connect Circuit” transports us through time using our awareness and our memories. The Circuit creates a very unique and necessary connection with the cycles of nature, so we can follow its rhythms by letting go of everything we no longer need.

• 11€/person

The following are our suggestion of five different walking excursions, which begin at the masía. The duration given for each is approximate, depending on the pace undertaken by the individual.

A. Abejas (900m - 30min): a beautiful walk around the fields surrounding the house, where you can see the bee hives, which provide us with such delicious honey. In spring time the fields are dotted with poppies, creating a spectacular sea of flowers.

B. Carena de la Obaga Negra (2.60Km - 45min): walk through the pine trees, keeping to the same path and you can’t go wrong.

C. Solana de La Garriga (2.80Km - 1h): a walk through la solana, a really luminous path, and with an interesting view over the masía on the way back.

D. Torrent de la Plana (4.20Km - 1h 30min): a more complete hike, through the pine trees to the north of the masía. If you stay attentive, you may be lucky enough to wander across a family of deer.

E. Samunta (6Km - 2h): walk down to the Hortons and up to the Samunta houses. You’ll find an old olive oil mill, and a goat farm, and discover the real life of the countryside.
 

At the reception of the hotel we will give you a map so that you can enjoy the routes easily. You can also download the routes using the App Wikiloc (see link):

In Women's Circles we meet to celebrate Life and its Cycles. As our ancestors did, we observe Nature to see how its external cycles (changes in the season, the evolution of the moon...) nourish us and make us a mirror to understand our own internal cycles.

We will look deeper into our menstrual cycle, a gift we women have for renewing ourselves month by month, and a map to rediscover our true feminine essence.

During the circle we will connect with our body and our essence through the practice of yoga, energy medicine techniques, essential oils and art. We will celebrate Life and celebrate ourselves through beautiful rituals in the middle of Nature.

Our proposal: A show cooking activity or a kitchen workshop in a special place like the Masia. From La Garriga de Castelladral we organise several classes per year with our Chef Sergio Gomez or with other professionals. We also organise customized workshops for groups.

Once a year we organise the Retreat ‘Renew & Reconnect’ with the prestigious nutritionist Carla Zaplana.

Some of our workshops are: Green juices & smoothies, Healthy diet, Show cooking with local products, Batch cooking, etc.

Would you be interested in doing a cooking workshop with your friends? Do not hesitate to contact us and we will organise something very special.

Enjoying pregnancy, childbirth preparation, caring for life.

The physical and psychological health of each person depends largely on their first few years of life. The way we interact in the world, our ability to love ourselves and to love others will depend on how this first period of life is undertaken.

Throughout the workshop we would like to accompany you in this process of your baby’s arrival, enjoying every moment fully. We offer different workshops in preparation, with simple, conscious and effective corporal techniques, and providing information on pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding.

Workshop by Míriam Tirado, Àngels Torra y Josep Mª Garcia.

• 127€/couple
• It is not necessary to stay at the hotel to participate in the Workshop.
• A minimum group of 3 couples is necessary to organise the activity.

Let yourself be lead by sensations.

Go back in time to the XIX Century, a prime period of great splendour for La Garriga in wine and olive oil production. Taste the wine and olive oil of our region, surrounded by the old wine barrels that still remain in the Cellar of the house and the old oil press.

Why not try a very special wine or olive oil tasting experience? The tasting session begins with a visit to the masía's facilities, where the wine and olive oil were formerly produced (the wine cellar and storage vats). The tastings will then be held in The Old Press Room, on a beautiful stone table.

You will learn how to taste wine and olive oil, what its main characteristics are, and acquire a better knowledge of the products of our local area, Castelladral (el Bages).

• Olive oil tasting: 22 €/person
• Wine asting: 29 €/person
• *A minimum group of 6 people is necessary to organise the activity.

Create a flower garland, learn to write a story, decorate a table with natural features, or discover the secrets of the oldest fonts…

Our creative workshops offer a little dose of creativity and inspiration so we can learn to actively relax, and develop our individual talents, whilst trying something we have always wanted to do (and never had time).

Many hours of our lives are spent at work, normally within a digital format, against the clock and at an extremely fast pace. We seem to have abandoned the habit of using our hands to create beautiful things, in a peaceful way, without an agenda, and whilst enjoying the present moment.

As well as creating something beautiful, our creative workshops provide time for us to enjoy being with ourselves, stimulating our ability in handicraft, a simple and very essential ingredient for our overall well being. Meanwhile we will be completely immersed in nature, fully absorbing the peace and tranquility of the areas surrounding our masía.

We are lucky to collaborate with a fabulous team of artists and creative artisans who make our workshops particularly special: Mireia Abras, Latitadefabiola, Jordi Capdevila... among others.

Next concert: 9th February 2020

We created The SALA PIANOConcerts because of our love and passion for music. The aim of the concert was to offer young pianists the possibility to play the piano in a really special place, out of the music school,  whilst offering them a meeting point for young pianists from our area.

The SALA PIANO Concert is organised by the Catalan Association of Music Schools and La Garriga de Castelladral. The concert is held in  the beautiful Piano room of the house.

We have already held five editions of the concert. In 2011 we dedicated the concert to the history of music, in 2012 the illustrator Valenti Gubianas painted an old piano, inspired by the young pianists’ melodies, in 2013 we made a tribute to the great pianist Manel Camp, and in 2015 the concert focused on pieces composed by the pianists themselves.

• 5 €/person (over 18 years).
• Children under 18 free.
