Terra Rosa
About Terra Rosa
From the beginning, we carried one vision: to create a space where we could belong, imagine, and build something new - a place where spirituality, creativity, and connection come together as paths of transformation. Terra Rosa is that space: a center for community and creation, where difference is sacred, everyone is welcome, and we rise into our fullest selves.
Terra Rosa also functions as a community and educational retreat center (Casa de Colònies) located in nature in Catalonia, Spain. We are dedicated to conscious living, creative learning, and cultural exchange. Our programs include workshops, residencies, and seasonal retreats that explore mindfulness, creativity, sustainability, and community life. We welcome individuals and groups from diverse backgrounds, with a special focus on inclusivity and the LGBTQIA+ community.
Our Mission and Educational Purpose
Terra Rosa operates as a space for education, coexistence, and cultural development in alignment with the values of the Casa de Colònies framework defined by Catalan youth and education law. Our activities are non-touristic in nature and designed to foster:
-
Cooperation and community life
-
Environmental awareness and sustainable practices
-
Personal and collective growth
-
Social inclusion and intercultural dialogue
Who Can Participate
Terra Rosa welcomes people of all ages to participate in its programs and residencies. In accordance with Catalan regulations for youth educational centers (Decret 267/2016), priority in access is given to participants under 30 years of age and to educational or non-profit group activities. Adults over 30 are equally welcome, provided that the purpose of their stay aligns with the educational and community objectives of Terra Rosa.
Stays and Accommodation
Accommodation is available in shared and private rooms. All stays include three daily vegetarian meals and access to community spaces, gardens, and activities. Participation in light community tasks and daily life is part of the experience, as we believe in learning through collaboration and contribution.
