Details
Day 1
Kick off your wellness retreat with a sharing circle, a meditation, and a delicious dinner
The lilting countryside of Portugal welcomes you with open arms. For the next five days, you can cast your worries aside as you let yourself enjoy daily yoga sessions while surrounded by rustic farmland. Sounds dreamy, eh? The trip will officially begin as soon as you land at the Lisbon airport. A quick transfer will bring you to your accommodation in the hills near Casével where you'll have a bit of down time before a sharing circle and meditation. This session will perfectly set the vibrations for the rest of the trip. Additionally, it will allow you to move into this wellness journey with intention and purpose. With clear minds, we'll end the day with an amazing welcome dinner before bed.
Day 2
Get acquainted with your surroundings in between morning and evening movement sessions
The sun is rising over the farm, painting the landscape in light. We'll rise early for a morning yoga session – our first of the trip. Move into the positions slowly and feel out how you fit into this grand yet understated slice of nature. From here, we'll have plenty of free time in the late morning and afternoon to explore the farm. There are no expectations during this time; meet Mother Nature on your own terms. In the evening, we'll come together for a Movement Playshop with Rashmi and close out the experience with a silent walk around the lush property.
Day 3
Spend some time with the beautiful horses on the property
Good morning! Rise to another session of mindful, energizing yoga to kick off the day. In the afternoon, we'll switch things up by heading down to the horses on the property to spend some time with them. Horses are known for their healing powers, and the feeling of interacting with such a sensitive, gentle creature will help push you along the path of personal wellness. We'll break for lunch, and you will then have some more free time to explore the premises. We’ll close out the day with a silent walk around the property and an Intuitive Movement Session with Rashmi to clear our heads and hearts for a great night’s rest.
Day 4
Enjoy your final yoga session of the trip and allow the beauty of Portugal to mesmerize you
Another day of yoga and restorative free time awaits you today. Our morning session will be our last of the trip, so make sure to greet it with intention and openness. The rest of the day will be taken up by great meals and free time on the farm. How you use this time is up to you: just do whatever feels natural and healing. Take a swim in the pool, chat with your fellow travelers about the progress you've made, or find a quiet place to sit and reflect. We'll come back together in the evening for one last silent walk, a guided meditation, and a writing opportunity to reflect on all that we’ve seen and learned. At dinner, we’ll celebrate the bonds we've made, the personal shackles we've shed, and the opportunities that the future brings.
Day 5
Pack your bags and head home after a regenerative retreat in Portugal
Today is the final day of our retreat. After breakfast and a few final moments to enjoy the stillness of the Portuguese countryside, it's back to the Lisbon airport to fly home. Thanks so much for joining us, and we hope you're feeling completely refreshed!
