Our Mission

Modern life is quietly making us unwell. We are building the antidote — 88 acres where people and nature recover together.

We live in cities that exhaust us — toxic air, relentless noise, screens without horizon. Health is quietly declining, and the natural world that once restored us is under strain.

Ebro Retreat CIO answers that with a place: a protected valley designed for recovery, where clean water, woodland and open sky do the slow work of making people well again.

The Sanctuary · 88 acres

A horseshoe valley, returning to its wild self.

Eighty-eight acres curl around a horseshoe valley near the Ebro River. Former vineyards, herb plantations, almond and olive groves and native pine woodland are being gently restored — not developed.

Nothing here will rise above the trees. The site runs on its own solar power and several rich underground water wells — self-sustaining by design.

    Cultivated terraces rewilding into mixed habitat.

  • 02

How the Model Works

One charity. Six engines of income.

Ebro Retreat CIO is the parent charity. It is funded entirely by the surpluses of six ethical B-Corp trading subsidiaries; each generates income, and every surplus returns to the charitable mission.

Open Trusteeships
