Personalized One-on-one Retreat in central Portugal

A private, personalized retreat, created around you, your needs and your own pace.

You are warmly welcomed to our little piece of paradise in the mountains of central Portugal — a home surrounded by forest, orchards and the sounds and elements of nature.
We have poured a lot of ourselves into creating this place, and opening our home to people who are looking for time and space to step away from everyday responsibilities and reconnect with themselves. Rather than a retreat center with a fixed program, this is a small, personal and lived-in environment where you are cared for throughout your stay.
The days have a naturally slower rhythm here and there is space to do as much or as little as feels right for you. Depending on the season and your interests, you might swim in the river, practice yoga, movement, or mindfulness, go for a walk in the forest, explore the local village, spend time in our permaculture gardens and orchards, read, write, meditate — or simply sit in the sun and do nothing at all.
There is no expectation to participate in every activity. Your needs, boundaries and choices remain at the center of the retreat. We trust that meaningful experiences unfold in their own time, and we don't believe in pushing a process towards a particular outcome.
The one-to-one format allows us to give you our full attention before, during and after the experience. We work more personally with preparation and integration, while the ceremony itself can be approached in a way that feels meaningful and appropriate to you — with room for silence, music, personal rituals, journaling, creativity or simply being present with whatever arises.
Couples, close friends and family members are also welcome. In this case, we will shape the retreat together around what you need as individuals and what you would like to explore or experience together, while making sure that everyone has space for their own process.
Your stay includes around-the-clock personal support and care, nourishing homemade plant-based meals, and a comfortable, grounding environment where you don't have to think about keeping up with the outside world. Meals are prepared with care and adapted to your dietary needs and habits.

The retreat begins before you arrive. Online preparation session(s) help us get to know each other, understand what you are looking for and prepare thoughtfully for the experience. After the retreat, we continue with online integration support, giving you space to reflect on your journey and how it can find its place in your everyday life.
The length and timing of your stay are flexible. Dates are arranged individually, and longer stays can be considered depending on availability.
This retreat is for slowing down rather than filling your days; for being looked after without giving away your agency; and for having enough quiet, nature and personal attention to listen to what is actually unfolding within you.
Come as you are. There is no version of yourself you need to arrive as, and no particular version you need to leave as.
