Do you have a story, a painting, a song, a script, an idea—a voice inside you that’s burning to be heard?
Have you ever wondered what would happen if you had the place, the support, the time, and the setting to bring that voice into the world?
We’re offering a small number of people the chance to spend 3 days at Muntanya Màgica where we’ll support your creative journey—in a retreat format—right here in the middle of the forest.
Your days will be a combination of workshops, guided creative practices, and personal time led by Writer/Musician Marc Cinanni and Actress/Voice Professor Esther Pallejà, creative (and life) partners as well as co-founders of Muntanya Màgica Retreat Center.
The retreat will culminate with a showcase where participants will display their work.
“The deeper we go, the muddier it gets. But the easier the words get. Because when writing is done from that chaotic place of inner exploration, words aren’t words anymore. They're the roots under a garden. They’re beats in a song. They know their place. We open, we listen, and we let them come home.”
*There is no need to be a formal artist, and no need to have a serious piece of work in mind.
Just the willingness to be curious, be open and be courageous enough to dive deep into yourself.

FACILITATORS
Marc
Marc Cinanni is a creative writer, musician, and co-founder of Muntanya Màgica retreat center. He holds an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Oxford where he was the recipient of the DL Chapman Memorial Prize for Fiction. His works of fiction and creative nonfiction have appeared in publications such as the Irish Literary Review, The Mays, Beauty Shot, and more.
Having also worked in startups and international affairs, Marc felt the need for a dramatic change. So he sold everything and moved his family to a remote island off the Pacific coast of Canada where he began a process of rewilding—reconnecting with nature, his family, and his own inner wisdom. This experience transformed his approach to life and creativity, allowing him to compose his second album “Trees & Shadows” and write the book “Finding Home” during his stay.
Today, Marc channels this transformation into running a retreat center where he hosts creative retreats, leads wellness activities, and lives in harmony with nature through a simple, self-sufficient life.
