In the heart of the Catalan countryside lies Can CasaDellà, a farmhouse with a history dating back to the 16th century.
From its modest beginnings as an agricultural estate to its transformation into an elegant "indiano"-style residence, this property has borne witness to centuries of change and prosperity. In 2006, Can CasaDellà was carefully renovated to provide modern comforts while preserving its historic charm.
The farmhouse hosted the WOE3 retreat, underscoring its role as a haven for inspiration and creative expression.
Wander through the romantic garden paths or simply bask in the tranquility of the surrounding countryside—Can CasaDellà invites you to embark on a journey through time.

Betty's website

It has been my first photography retreat and it has been such a beautiful experience in every sense, so enriching, where we have learned about photography, about art, about lighting, about discovering what you love and didn't know you would love. We have been guided by great photography professionals and wonderful people, with whom we have shared days of living and learning that I am still processing. Having mentors who lead you by the hand to step out of your comfort zone, to open up to different styles, and discover that photography is an art with no limits, always feeling supported and knowing they are there for you. We have been fortunate to share this experience with amazing colleagues, and together, we created magic, as it could only be, because our Jullianne Medeiros is pure magic. I will never be able to thank you enough for this wonderful experience.

BEGOÑA BARRERA
Retreat in a privileged setting created from a passion for sharing and the desire to continue learning. First-class speakers and a team of great human quality, led by Jullianne, who pays attention to every detail to make the experience something unique.

MIGUEL BIELSA
A wonderful experience in a magical place. It was days of profound learning accompanied by great professionals and a perfect hostess. Jullianne makes you feel at home and leaves you wanting to repeat the experience. Highly recommended.

EVELYN PI
An incredible retreat in every way. I learned so much, disconnected, and met wonderful people. The house was amazing, and the food felt just like a home-cooked meal. Definitely something to repeat every year.

Mario Urquiaga (ASTURIAS, SPAIN) - WOE4 PARTICIPANT
It's an experience that completely changes our perspectives on how we look. Being part of this adventure has been magical in every way, from the technical aspects to the beautiful synergy among all of us who attended and arrived with a passion for photography.
