Anticipate a journey with…
Daily gentle yoga
Start your day with gentle yoga classes designed to stretch, relax, and rejuvenate your body. Suitable for all levels, these sessions focus on slow, deliberate movements and breathwork to foster a sense of calm and balance. Through Jonathan’s kind guidance, learn how to cultivate a yoga practice in a mindful, sustainable and gentle way.
Farm-to-table cuisine
Enjoy delicious and nutritious meals prepared from fresh, organic ingredients sourced directly from the farm. The gourmet chefs craft each dish to nourish your body and delight your senses, with a focus on simplicity and wholesomeness. The majority of ingredients served come from the farm directly, or local producers, ensuring maximum flavour and vitality.
Relaxation in Nature
Immerse yourself in the natural beauty of this extensive farmland - it stretches as far as the eye can see! Enjoy nature walks through orange and cork tree orchards full of wildflowers, moments of silent reflection by a peaceful lake, or soak in the sun with a good book next to the swimming pool. Experience the therapeutic benefits of re-connecting with nature and drawing inspiration from the tranquil atmosphere.
Ceramics workshop
Participate in an exclusive ceramics workshop led by a professional Portuguese ceramicist held on the farm that awakens your creativity in a mindful way. Using your hands and your senses to explore the clay, you can get into the moment and out of the thinking mind. Experience the quality of child-like freedom as you try something new.
Mindful meditation practices
Engage in daily mindfulness meditation sessions aimed at reducing stress and enhancing mental clarity. Learn techniques from Mindfulness teacher trainer Jonathan to quiet your mind and cultivate a deep sense of inner peace. This retreat is intended to equip you with practical mindfulness tools to take into the everyday when you return home and bring about positive change!
Day trip to Comporta
We are delighted to show you the magnificent Portuguese coast on a guided day trip to Comporta which is a picturesque Atlantic seaside village. We’ll get the chance to swim, explore the stunning stretch of beach, and soak up the village vibe. The drive to the coast will wind through the famous cork-producing hills of Alentejo, and historic villages, and we can stop off at a few notable sites.
