seminars, courses and retreats

Manuvision Barcelona offers a diverse range of courses and retreats for those interested in exploring our unique approach to body therapy.

At the heart of all our activities lies a strong emphasis on inner work. We believe that in order to truly support and reach others, it is essential to first go through a process of personal development and self-awareness ourselves. This philosophy is woven into every aspect of our teaching and practice.
Below, you will find an overview of the courses, trainings, and internships that Manuvision Barcelona organizes and co-organizes.

A deep reset for both your body and mind

4-7 May 2026
Spring Detox & Fasting Course in holland

A Manuvision fast combines 20 days of cleansing diet with a 3 day fasting retreat, including extensive body work, training and massage. The fast will be led by Steffen Lundgaard, who has been facilitating fast retreats for over 15 years.

An opportunity to work on mind, body and emotions

This fast aims to let every organ rest, with each day’s activities focusing on caring for the organs that reach rest on that particular day.

An opportunity to work on mind, body and emotions

This fast aims to let every organ rest, with each day’s activities focusing on caring for the organs that reach rest on that particular day.

Physically, the fast helps to:
  • Improve circulation
  • Sharpen the senses
  • Detoxify organs, flush out years of built-up waste
  • Reset and regulate metabolism
  • Unlock the body’s natural ability to heal and regenerate
Emotionally, the fast is an invitation to feel yourself:
  • Without habitual escape patterns (tobacco, coffee, sugar, snacking, …)
  • With less expendable energy, becoming aware of how much your ‘mask’ (ie personality of being funny, helpful to others, smart and calm, etc) starts to cost, and what it means to take this off
  • Surrendering to being in the group simply as yourself (whether grumpy, tired, sad or angry)

This increased vulnerability makes for a beautiful, honest and open group dyanmic with fantastic sharings

Mentally, the fast is an opportunity to:
  • Learn about the functioning of your organs, related muscle groups and meridian systems
  • Understand and reflect on your habit patterns
  • Experience a deep sense of self-awareness and freedom, with renewed energy
Removing old blockages and imbalances can help recover from various issues including, for example:
  • Sleep and digestive disorders
  • Long-standing infections
  • Anxiety, indecision and depression
  • Skin conditions
  • Improved vision and reduced eye strain
  • Reduced intensity of autoimmune diseases

What it can do really depends on what is blocked in your system.

Practical

  • 8 – 18 June: Post-fast diet (the hardest part!)
  • TBC: Optional conference call with a space to share reflections and learnings.
Online support groups

We offer online support before and after the retreat, where you can connect with others, ask questions, and share your experiences. These peer-to-peer gatherings ensure ongoing support and a sense of community throughout your journey.
