Cal Massot

A retreat in a former olive-oil mill

Cal Massot is a retreat house in a former olive-oil mill in Belianes, in Spain’s Lleida province. It has operated as group lodging for about 15 years. In 2020, its hosts, Joel and Inés, launched Espai amb Cor, a project focused on retreats, personal-growth therapies, and yoga.

Retreats and use of the space

• Group stays in a quiet, natural setting.
• Retreats organized by the hosts.
• Space rental for yoga teachers and therapists who want to lead their own retreats.
• Activities involving mind-body therapies, Gestalt therapy, and yoga.

The hosts’ background

Joel and Inés have trained in Gestalt therapy and a range of mind-body therapies, and have experience in psychology and social work. They describe their approach as drawing on humanist values, the teachings of Gestalt psychiatrist Claudio Naranjo, and the philosophy of yoga.

Scholarships and community support

Cal Massot offers a scholarship for every 15 participants an organizer brings to the retreat house. The scholarship is intended for someone facing financial, health, or social difficulties. The hosts also accept volunteer contributions such as helping with cooking, cleaning, or organization, as well as people sharing their knowledge.
