Program & activities
Screw timetables and meetings - our lives are too busy already!
Do whatever, whenever: wake up with a fresh croissant, read a book by the pool, journal in the hammock, or explore the local food market, winery or picturesque village Bergerac.
At night, gather around the dinner table or campfire and have conversations with the others, but only if you feel like it. All activities are spontaneous and optional.

Departure: Thursday Aug 14, 10:00
The location
Wake up to the sound of nature at Simply Canvas Farm, a beautiful farm in Saint-Jean-de-Duras, surrounded by sunflower fields and rolling hills. 🌳
The farm is very spacious with three houses, eight luxury safari tents, a swimming pool, a food forest, a campfire place, a yoga & meditation barn, and a cozy area for shared dinners.
You can choose a bedroom to yourself, or share one with someone else (two single beds).
The group
16-20 like-minded people, all with the same intention: a weekend of rest and time for themselves, open to connect and socialize when they feel like it.
Anyone is welcome: young and old, men and women, and from any cultural background. During past editions, we’ve welcomed both men and women between 23 and 68 from Slovakia to England and from The Netherlands to the United States. All warm, open and fun. ❤️
The hosts
Our Digital Detox Retreat in France is a special collaboration between The Offline Club and Sandra and Santi from Simply Canvas Farm.
In 2024, we hosted our first 5-day Offline Getaway together, and it was a match made in heaven.
Your hosts will be Sandra (53) and Santi (48), two former monastics who own and care for Simply Canvas Farm. There will also be a community host from The Offline Club.
What about your phone?
Detoxing from social media and endless notifications is one of the main benefits of The Getaway.
It allows you to refocus, rest and open your mind to new ideas and creativity. Therefore, we take your phone upon arrival and lock it up safely.
Of course, we can be reached by your friends and family for emergencies.

"I loved the combination of no online distractions, wonderful people, nature, and exploring fantastic little towns and markets. It leaves you wanting more!"
