In-person experience
Window after window, door after door
Can Mundet is a historic building surrounded by an oak forest nature reserve, with a view of the Mediterranean, on the Costa Brava.
It carries 500 years of history. It was the home of a French noble family, and from the 1990s it became a summer camp centre where young people learned about nature and the world. The local community is deeply connected to the place: generations of children spent their summers here.

With the pandemic, the activity stopped and the building was left empty.
A year and a half ago, eight friends who dreamed of a pink community in nature received the keys and invited the community in. Since then, hundreds of people have come through: volunteers, family, different groups and programs, all writing a new history. A centre for the growth of the LGBTQ+ community: connections, stays, going deeper.
Leaving the city lets us breathe and gives us perspective. As members of the LGBTQ+ community, most of us live in cities. We love them, but sometimes it is worth taking a break, to look again and gain perspective on who I am, who we are, and the connections between us.
And this is the place.
Community researchWhat is community?
This is the question we keep coming back to. We ask it together, in circles, with everyone who passes through the house.
There is no single answer. Out of the shared wisdom of the group came a wording we hold for now. It can change, and become more precise, as we keep asking.
This is our credo: the “I believe” that became a “we believe”. It guides everything we do, as a platform and a centre of growth for our community.
Community is a voluntary social contract between a group of people sharing and agreeing on certain values, which they gather around, and working together with the same intention towards the same purpose.
After agreeing on a general definition, we are working together to understand what is our community.
Our valuesWhat we stand for
Queerness
We celebrate our Queer identity as a wellspring of strength, recognizing its spiritual role in these troubled times. We harness this power to express our uniqueness, while boldly questioning, reenvisioning and transforming traditional societal norms.
Community
We choose to share our destinies by building and being part of a community based on interpersonal relationships, shared experiences, dialogue and constant learning. We are empowered to thrive, heal and grow as individuals through the sense of belonging and safety the community provides.
Diversity & Inclusion
We believe our strength and growth are rooted in creating a diverse and inclusive community. We actively work to create a safer space that welcomes all people.
Peace work
We call upon queers from all backgrounds to take part in modeling a culture based on peace and respect. Our queer identity is rooted in difference and shaped by resilience; as such, we acknowledge the disparities and traumas that originate in racial, national, and religious backgrounds, and work towards connection, understanding and healing.
Read our full stance on Palestine-IsraelSelf Expression
We believe that embracing and celebrating who we are leads to a fulfilling and authentic life, enabling us to express our true nature, unleash our creativity, and forge deeper emotional bonds within our community. We are building a culture grounded in these principles, actively promoting curiosity and discovery.
Growth & Development
We aim to expand personal and communal knowledge and consciousness, by fostering a culture of lifelong learning that cultivates creativity, innovation, research, and experimentation.
Accountability
We strive to align our thoughts, words, and actions mindfully, taking full responsibility for their impact on our community and the reality we shape. We promote transparency, honesty, and integrity, in order to cultivate trust, foster healthy relationships, and strengthen our sense of community.
Heart Connection
We root our relationships in shared emotional experiences, recognizing that while each of us sees the world differently, our shared feelings bring us together. By holding space for empathy and connection, we build more intimate and meaningful relationships based on trust, openness, and authentic heart-centered communication.
Sustainability
We recognize the interconnectedness of the Earth and all living things. We strive to cultivate a respectful and mutually beneficial relationship between the land and all of its inhabitants, integrating ecological, economical, social, and spiritual aspects of sustainability.
Playfulness
We guide our path by purpose, yet strive to walk it with a healthy dose of lightness and humor. We see passion and playfulness as fundamental to our community's wellbeing, filling our lives with both celebration and vitality.
What comes nextAnd this is only the beginning
We have many more dreams for this house. We want Terra Rosa to grow into an international community centre, a place thousands of people pass through and grow in, where our community connects and gets stronger. A place to celebrate, to be happy, and to keep growing together.
A community builds a pink house
Many of us have been dreaming of this house for years. These are the people building it with us, and the gifts they are offering.
