The new trend when traveling is based on disconnecting to find yourself. As you well know, well-being and personal health begins with self-care. Escaping and disconnecting to connect with nature, the environment, taking a few days to make up for the time we haven’t given ourselves during the year, this is what retreats offer us; and today at COOLthelifestyle we bring you two of the best retirement options in Spain so that you can disconnect on the December long weekend. Luxury residences in which to enter and carry out a health and well-being program, a stone farmhouse that invites you to silence and meditation… The idea of stopping and disconnecting is a desire that almost all of us have.

«More than a hundred years ago, our great-grandfather, Dr. Otto Buchinger, founder and creator of the Buchinger therapeutic fasting, already took into account the body and the soul. Back then it was already clear to him that a satisfied soul is the prerequisite for a healthy body. nature was his spa. Literature, music and art were the food for his mind and soul”, explain Leonard Wilhelmi, Victor Wilhelmi and Katharina Rohrer-Zaiser, the three members of the generation of the world’s leading fasting clinics.
Dr. Otto Buchinger’s encouragement was that “we must always be alert”, they explain. The encouragement of this latest generation (for now), is to carry on that legacy and constantly further develop the Buchinger Therapeutic Fast and, consequently, the program Buchinger Wilhelmi AMPLIUS. With it they intend to guide clients through a rewarding, positive and happy fasting experience, which even manages to change their lifestyle.

This retreat invites its guests to live the experience through three different routes, oriented according to the profile of each patient.
Why do you place so much emphasis on stimulating and developing inspiration As the Buchinher Wilhelmi team explains, inspiration is linked not only to artistic creation, but also to scientific and business production, personal growth and emotional well-being. It drives inner growth.
Cultivating inspiration has positive effects on our physical and mental health. Scientific literature has shown that people who transmit more inspiration also transmit higher levels of psychological well-being. Psychological well-being is a very broad concept that encompasses highly relevant variables such as satisfaction with one’s life, vitality or levels of positive affect.
- path of connection with itself: people who need to take a break in their lives and reconnect with their essence, create an inner silence to listen to themselves again and connect with their needs.
- rest route: for people who need to rest physically and psychologically.
- route of creativity: for people who want to accommodate new ideas and projects, a new point of view or a different approach.
These routes propose a series of activities, such as art therapy, yoga, meditation, musical expression, meditation with piano, aromatherapy, mindfulnesstibetan bowls, gi-gongwalks in nature, among others, aimed at promoting “inspiring experiences”, and which pursue a common ultimate goal: physical, psychological and spiritual well-being.
