An Unparalleled Experience
'Elegant simplicity – it is the philosophy that underlies the Anxiety Center's Retreat.' – Dr. Nathan Fite
We invite you to fall in love with this corner of the world, its breathtaking mountains, rich history, and serene natural beauty, and experience a storied retreat nestled among the mountains of Sequile, Colombia. Near the house, you will find the Nemocón salt mine, and just a little further away but still very close, the Tomine lagoon where you will hop on a sailboat and sail. Only a few minutes away, you will discover the rocks of Suesca, a perfect natural destination for a day of climbing and disconnecting from the world.
This wonderful hacienda, surrounded by a savory landscape that inspires rest, is enveloped by the tranquil spirit of nature. The house itself is a masterpiece of the architect Pietro Cantini, who left his legacy not only in Bogotá with the Capitol and the Columbus Theater among his most important works but also with this very hacienda, which we consider a privilege to enjoy.
Join Us on a Ten-Day Journey for Better Health
We invite you to join us on a transformative journey guided by Clinical Psychologist Dr. Nathan Fite, owner of The Anxiety Center, and Colombian Psychologist Juliana Plaza. Immerse yourself in the Colombian way of life, where community, organic produce, and mindfulness blend seamlessly with the serene beauty of our surroundings. Dr. Nathan Fite will offer a seminar on Positive Psychology and the connection between health and the mind. By the end of your stay, you will have formed deeper community bonds, developed a personal nutritional plan, established a meditation practice, and crafted a personalized path towards greater happiness. This experience is designed to extend our evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy into a holistic approach to health.

Savor Nutrition Tailored to You with Mediterranean and Blue Zone Diets
At our retreat, we prioritize sourcing food that is local, organic, and intrinsically tied to the land. Guided by the principles of the Mediterranean and Blue Zone diets, our meals emphasize fresh, whole foods rich in nutrients and flavor. The Mediterranean diet focuses on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats, while the Blue Zone diet highlights longevity foods from regions known for their centenarian populations. Dr. Nathan Fite, an Italy-trained chef who completed his training at Alma Scuola Internazionale di Cucina Italiana and staged at the Michelin-ranked Via Maria Luigia, will design a custom menu accommodating individual preferences.
Embrace Movement and Foster Connection with Local Treks, Hiking, and Yoga
At our retreat, we embrace movement and foster connection through a variety of physical activities designed to improve mental health. Guests can enjoy local treks and hikes that explore the stunning landscape, providing a sense of adventure and tranquility. Sailing on the nearby Tomine lagoon offers a unique way to connect with nature and fellow participants. Horseback riding through the mountains and visiting local coffee farms provide enriching experiences that deepen your connection to the land. Yoga sessions are held in serene outdoor settings, promoting mindfulness and relaxation. These activities not only enhance physical health but also build a supportive community, creating lasting bonds and shared experiences.
