About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

Hello friends,
We’re excited to invite you once again to Portugal this year—to come together in person and dive deep into the Life Awareness practices.
These won’t just be retreats; they will be true yogic immersions—a chance to live and breathe the practices and lifestyle alongside a group of fellow practitioners.
With a focused daily rhythm, the supportive guidance of Michaël and the Life Awareness teachers, and the power of group energy, we will ignite deep transformation and growth from within.

Schedule

On the first day, we arrive and settle in together as a group—setting intentions, getting to know each other, and opening the space for the immersion.
The days that follow are held within a supportive and steady rhythm. We rise early together and move through a daily schedule of practices, including yoga, pranayama, qigong, meditation, and self-inquiry.
There is time for rest, reflection, nature, and integration—time to connect with each other as a community, as well as time to be in silence and stillness.

07:00 - 7:30 Silent Meditation (Optional)
07:30 - 9:30 Yoga Asana, Pranayama, Meditation
09:30 - 11:00 Breakfast, break
11:00 - 13:00 Workshops & Group Practices
13:00 - 17:00 Lunch & Break (Time for rest, nature walks, or a massages with one of the on-site therapists)
17:00 - 18:30 Sunset Practice
18:30 - 20:00 Dinner
20:00 - 20:30 Light evening practice, finishing the day
Note: Schedule is approximate and may change
