At the confluence of two rivers, under the auspices of a mighty rock cliff, CANTOBRIA is a natural place of meeting and an energizing setting for group learning.   

​

Combining the domain, the village, and the nearby town, there is sufficient accommodation capacity for groups of up to fifty. The on-site capacity is better adapted for groups of ten to twenty persons, and this is an ideal configuration for group retreats, classes, or seminars that take advantage of Cantobria's unique natural surroundings.

​

If your vocation is to teach any of the below (or related), consider CANTOBRIA as a setting for your programs. Some teaching can take place outdoors. For indoor sessions, a large tent or yurt will be installed according to your needs.

​

CANTOBRIA aspires to foster change at the convergence of four interelated themes:

​

Habitat

Regeneration of soil and water, sustainable agriculture, forest gardens, resilience, no-waste, preservation of ecosystems and biodiversity.

 

Habitation

Designing, building, or renovating homes inspired by the elegance and simplicity of nature; deliberate use of space, light, materials, and objects; Japanese design principles, frugality, quality & durability, feng shui, and magnetism. 

​

Health

Practices that improve or restore health and wellbeing: diet, nutrition, physical regeneration, reflexology, massage, nature therapies, intermittent fasting, plant-based medicine, and alternative healing practices.

Outdoor physical activities: climbing, hiking, trail running, cold water exposure.

​

Human potential

Elevation and expansion of human consciousness. Yoga, meditative and energetic practices, shamanism, martial arts.

Collective intelligence, personal development, non-violent communication, restoration of the feminine dimension, systems thinking, wisdom teachings.

Artistic expression (music, dance, beaux arts, theatre, poetry)

All forms of craft and low-tech cleverness.
