Details of this retreat

We created this Mindful Walking Retreat because a person needs a space where time slows down, where you can recharge.
We are here for those who don’t just want a retreat, but a pause — to recover from stress, burnout, noise, screens and adapt a mindful lifestyle. A moment to rest deeply, walk in silence, breathe more slowly, and return to a healthy rhythm — in body and mind.

We offer simple, nourishing days in nature: walks on quiet trails, healthy meals, space to stretch, rest, journal, and simply be. It’s not about performance or pressure. It’s about recovering your own pace — the one that feels right for you.

You don’t have to be “spiritual” or experienced. Just open to the idea that slowing down heals.

Casa da Lima is surrounded by forest and silence. Here, we listen to birds instead of traffic. We take care of the body with food, movement, and rest.

This retreat is part of a broader mission: to share health, presence, and real-life mindfulness — after seeing firsthand what stress and overload can do to the body.

Come as you are. You’re welcome here.

Other retreat guest shared that they felt taken care of, they were happy to stay nourished by nature and by Casa da Lima. The retreat was more than a present, one which they didn't expect.

Getting Here

Location icon Casa da Lima, Canto da Ribeira de Baixo, Portugal

Directions

Casa da Lima is conveniently located between Porto and Lisbon, near Coimbra. If you're driving, simply follow the IC2 towards Porto or Lisbon, depending where you land. For those using public transport, frequent buses run to Coimbra. From the airport, take the metro to the bus or train station, then continue to Coimbra. Because we are in a tiny village, we offer pick-up and drop-off in Coimbra for an extra fee, ensuring a smooth and stress-free journey. If you need help with finding bus tickets from the airport to Coimbra, we will help out.

Accommodation

The Casinha is a single-floor house with a patio, private entrance, hall, a room featuring two robust bunk beds, a bathroom with a shower and washbasin, and a separate toilet with a washbasin. The patio is just outside, along with a small garden.

The locations are original, somewhere in nature. In these guided meditations, we draw strength from nature. Standing firm like a mountain or finding stillness like a tranquil lake. Practicing in front of towering peaks and beside flowing water strengthens the impact. And being on top of a mountain makes you stronggg!
