June Retreat in the Portuguese Mountains

16th-21st June 2025

The retreat will take place in the beautiful Serra de Estrela mountains, a natural healing sanctuary nestled in the stunning foothills and without a car or house in sight.

We invite you to immerse yourself in this abundant wilderness. Explore cascading river pools, wander endless trails and listen deeply to the sensations of forest bathing.

Each day we will journey through a different elements - fire, earth, water, air and ether, tapping into the powerful qualities that these elements offer to us. By connecting deeply with the rhythm of nature, we will go on a journey to deeper connection with ourselves and one another.
