Retreat basics

These answers are designed to reduce uncertainty and align expectations.

What is an ECAN retreat, in practical terms?
Open
A retreat is a structured environment: a calm daily rhythm, focused sessions, and time for integration. It is not a luxury holiday and not a guarantee of outcomes. It is a setting where clarity becomes easier.
Do I need a specific "condition" to attend?
Open
Not necessarily. Many people come due to stress, loss of rhythm, persistent discomfort, or a desire to understand themselves more clearly. We begin with a conversation to confirm fit and expectations.
Is this medical treatment?
Open
The retreats are supportive and educational environments. They do not replace medical care. We do not provide emergency services and we avoid language that implies guaranteed clinical outcomes.
What is "Natural Acupuncture"?
Open
Natural Acupuncture is the method developed and taught by Professor David Luján through ECAN. It emphasises observation, renamed meridian logic, and practical decision-making.

Program & structure

What happens each day, and what you can expect in practice.

What does a typical day look like?
Open
A typical day includes a clear rhythm: morning grounding, sessions and workshops, rest and quiet integration time. The exact schedule can differ by retreat and group needs.
Is it one-to-one, group-based, or both?
Open
Most retreats combine group structure with individual attention where appropriate. We keep group size small to avoid "event" energy and maintain calm.
What kind of results should I expect?
Open
We avoid promising results. Many people report improved clarity, rhythm, and a better understanding of their own patterns. Your experience depends on context, consistency, and real constraints.
What happens after the retreat?
Open
The last phase is integration: a practical plan that respects your daily life. The goal is autonomy, not dependence.

Travel & logistics

Practical questions that typically matter most.

Where are retreats held?
Open
Retreats are focused in Spain, near Madrid. Exact address and arrival details are shared after we confirm fit and timing.
What should I bring?
Open
Comfortable clothing, walking shoes, and readiness to follow a calm daily rhythm. Specific guidance can be shared for each retreat.
Is the retreat in English or Spanish?
Open
The website is in English. Spanish support is available (including automatic translation). For retreats, we clarify language support case by case depending on the group.

Booking & payment

Simple, direct, and pressure-free.

How do I apply or reserve a place?
Open
Start with a message (form, email, or WhatsApp). We clarify fit, timing, and practical details before any commitment.
What is the refund or cancellation policy?
Open
This policy can be listed clearly per retreat once confirmed. (Placeholder: add your official cancellation and rescheduling rules.)
