Our collaborators
FOOD
Forget restrictions and step into a celebration of flavor. Our program transforms “high-vibrational fuel” into a natural gourmet experience that nourishes the body and soul.
From morning hydration with Spain’s juiciest seasonal melons and mangoes to revitalizing mid-day fruit ice creams and simple yet sophisticated 80/10/10-compliant dinners, we prove that peak health never requires sacrificing taste.
Every meal is a masterpiece of low-fat raw vegan nutrition designed to leave you feeling lighter, more energetic, and truly satisfied.
This is more than a menu; it is a masterclass in vibrant living.
MOVEMENT
A Celebration of Life
We believe movement is a biological mandate, not a chore.
Under the guidance of world-class ultra runner Harriet Kjaer and powerlifting champion Dr. Douglas Graham, you will master the two most natural human activities: running and lifting.
Whether you’re a beginner or an elite athlete, we teach you to use the laws of leverage and ground force to build structural integrity and bone density.
From sunrise fitness to mindful trail workshops, you’ll learn to move with efficiency, power, and joy—building a body that is truly resilient.
EDUCATION
The Science of Human Excellence: Defining the Cause of Health
Education at RAW Nature moves beyond “dieting” and into the science of health creation.
Led by Dr. Douglas Graham (The 80/10/10 Diet author), our curriculum is built on a simple rationale: health is the result of healthful living.
By aligning your nutrition with your biological design—whole, fresh, ripe, raw plants—you provide your body the exact fuel it needs to thrive. The results are predictable: eliminated cravings, reversed health issues, and a surge in high-vibrational energy.
You won’t just learn what to eat; you will master the physiology of 80/10/10, moving from a state of “surviving” to a state of total vitality where your ideal weight and peak performance become your natural baseline.
Community,Connection & Gratitude
People come back year after year, at RAW Nature, for the vibrant community that blossoms here.

Guests return for the deep, lifelong friendships forged in the hills of Barcelona. Our evening “Walk and Talk” sessions provide a space to immerse ourselves in the forest, allowing nature to foster genuine connections. Before dinner, we gather to express our Gratitude. This shared ritual brings us closer to the earth and to each other, transforming every meal into a joyful celebration of our collective path toward vitality.
Accomodation - a sanctuary
True health requires a foundation of deep, restorative rest.
Over 5 days and 4 nights, we stay in a traditional Catalan Cottage nestled in the heart of a wooded national park, offering a peaceful escape with breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea.
Our sanctuary is designed for recovery and connection; you will sleep in handmade wooden bunk beds within cozy rooms shared by 6-8 guests, fostering a sense of shared experience.
Enjoy a hammock Spanish siesta, drifting off in the scent of the pines surrounding you. Here, the forest air and the stillness of the hills become an essential part of your healing process.
