Dates: Saturday, August 9 - Thursday, August 14, 2025

Arrival: Saturday after 4:00 p.m. Departure: Thursday after breakfast. 

Join The Offline Club for five days of unplugged bliss at Simply Canvas Farm, a beautiful permaculture farm in the Southwest of France, surrounded by nature. 

Disconnect from your phone and other digital distractions and unwind at a place where the campfire crackles, hammocks gently sway, and worries of your day-to-day are far, far away. 

At The Offline Club’s Digital Detox Retreat, everything is taken care of so you can relax, slow down, recharge, and enjoy the things that really matter to you. And all that surrounded by an inspiring group of like-minded people.

I became easily present with the people here, who came from all over the world and it was as if we all knew each other already. – Brian-

Forget about timetables, meetings and FOMO - our lives are too busy already! 

At The Offline Getaway, there is no program - everything happens spontaneously. You can do whatever, whenever. Wake up easily and read or journal in a hammock, go on a walk in nature, cuddle with Maya the pig, take a nap by the pool, start a drawing or painting, or do nothing at all. The only goal of our digital detox retreat is to slow down to a snail’s pace, be present, clear your mind and reconnect with yourself, nature and the people around you. You don’t have to worry about anything - we take care of it all. 

Food from the garden and campfire

At night, indulge in our home-made dinners with vegetables from the farm’s garden, stargaze by the campfire, and enjoy fun and interesting conversations with the other participants. But only if you feel like it - there are zero social obligations. 

Detoxing from social media and endless notifications is one of the main advantages of our digital detox retreat. It allows you to refocus, rest and open your mind to new ideas and creativity. Therefore, we take your phone, laptop and other digital devices upon arrival and lock them up safely. E-readers are allowed. Of course, we can be reached at all times by your friends and family for emergencies. And if you really need to speak to a friend or family member, just let us know, we’re not that strict.

With my phone I have much shorter conversations and the conversations take place from head to head. Here, with nobody having a phone, we have heart to heart conversations. -Mieke-

You’ll spend The Offline Getaway with 16-20 like-minded people, all with the same intention: a weekend of rest and time for themselves, open to connect and socialise 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 combination of no online distractions, wonderful people, animals and nature, fantastic little towns and markets, a delightful pool, and not to forget delicious food and special moments of shared silence... It leaves you wanting more! - Ingeborg-

These five days are all-inclusive, and you will be treated to delicious meals three times a day. Sandra and Santi are known for their culinary skills using fresh, local and organic vegetables, edible flowers, and other products from their own garden. All meals are vegetarian. Allergies? We can accommodate almost all allergies - please inquire before your stay. Would you like to eat gluten-free? That's possible, we charge an extra €5 per day for this.           

As for drinks, there is a large common area (the former cow shed) where you can make coffee and herbal tea all day, for free (you can pick the herbs yourself in the garden). If you fancy soft drinks, wine, cappuccinos or ice cream, you can grab those from the “honesty fridge” at an affordable price, due at the end of your stay. Feel free to bring your own snacks or drinks for in-between-moments and store them in our refrigerators.
