About Us
WHO WE ARE
We are not escaping reality. We are building a new one on a wild hill in Catalonia.Most "wellness centers" invite you to "disconnect" just so you can go back and tolerate your routine. At WakeTheFUP, we reject the band-aid. Located just a short escape from Barcelona, Spain, our off-grid eco-community in Tarragona is an authentic human experiment designed for those ready to unplug from the societal matrix and do the raw, heavy work of waking up.We arose from a visceral, collective need: to break free from the domesticating grind, return to the untamed rhythms of a protected nature reserve, and create a non-profit community where people can strip away their ego and reignite their "Life Fire" through deep meditation, somatic yoga, breathwork, and shamanic practices.We are not a luxury hotel, and we do not offer transactional tourist services. WakeTheFUP is a lived, daily rebellion based on sustainable off-grid living, shared purpose, and radical shadow work. We are here to help you remember what it means to be sovereign, connected, and wildly alive.
Our Philosophy: Meditation, Wellness & Personal Growth
In the WakeTheFup Meditation Center, we strongly feel that balance is the cornerstone of happiness and joy in the now. This is achieved by being aware, making good habits, forming meaningful connections, and staying connected with nature. The programs we organize for our community and retreat guests involve meditation, yoga or somatic movement, mindfulness, creativity, hiking and music or mantra chanting.
Meditation Retreats & Mindfulness Experiences
Our retreats are specially designed for novices as well as experienced individuals who wish to seek more clarity, peace, and growth. With the help of guided meditation and other forms of meditation like mindfulness and breathing exercises, along with periods of silence, participants will get some techniques that would assist them in reduce anxiety and focusing.
Yoga, Movement & Holistic Wellness
The process of our retreat involves the use of yoga because it allows participants to have flexibility, strong bodies, better balance, and general wellbeing. Participants will be given an opportunity to build their mind body connection through the practice of yoga, breathwork, and physical activities.
Building Authentic Connections
Personal growth occurs in an encouraging community atmosphere. Our retreats gather people from all walks of life, who have one thing in common, which is mindfulness, wellness, and connecting meaningfully with others.
Creativity, Art & Self-Expression
Creativity can prove to be a very effective means for self-discovery, healing, and growth. In order to assist in this process, our creative retreat activities are designed to help the guests see things from a different perspective, express their emotions, and connect with their true self.
Meet Our Founders
Behind this project is no corporate backing or hollow branding—just two dedicated humans who risked the comfort of the matrix
to raise a raw refuge for transformation in Catalonia, Spain.
