The Power of NO:

No prior experience in yoga, meditation, or somatic practices is needed! The retreat is open to all levels, from complete beginners to experienced practitioners.

Our retreat is a supportive and transformative experience, but it is not a substitute for psychotherapy or medical treatment. It is your responsibility to assess whether you feel ready and in a stable condition to participate.

If you have any physical or mental health conditions, we kindly ask you to inform us before booking so we can discuss whether this retreat is the right fit for you. Our priority is to create a safe space and a safe and beneficial experience for all participants.

If we, as facilitators, assess—either before or during the retreat—that the level of emotional regulation required for participation is not met, we may advise you not to continue in the workshops. In such cases, our cancellation policy applies.

You can absolutely come alone! In fact, most participants come alone, and it’s a great opportunity to meet like-minded people. However, if you prefer, you’re welcome to book with a friend or partner, in which case you both get a 100eur discount.

The retreat group size will be between 4 and 15 participants. As we are three facilitators, this is the group size that enables us to guarantee high-quality, personalized workshops ensuring that everyone receives proper attention and guidance.

The retreat will be held in English. However, between the three facilitators, we are fluent in German, Spanish, Slovenian, Hungarian and Portuguese and have a great understanding of Croatian. We can assist you in these languages if needed.

Our retreat takes place in a beautiful retreat center by the ocean, designed to provide both comfort, rest and inspiration for personal work. Located in the tranquil village on the stunning Portuguese Silver Coast just one hour north of Lisbon the space offers the perfect balance of serenity and accessibility.

The retreat center features a spacious common area that also serves as our yoga shala, a fully equipped kitchen and dining space with a large communal table. Guests will stay in one of the thoughtfully furnished rooms offering a cozy and peaceful environment for rest and relaxation.

Surrounded by nature, the retreat center boasts beautiful outdoor spaces, including a lush garden and outdoor seating areas where guests can unwind and connect, creating a serene and calming atmosphere that enhances your connection to nature.

We offer vegetarian and plant-based meals, freshly prepared with seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. The meals are designed to be nourishing, balanced, and supportive of your practice. If you have any allergies or food intolerances, please let us know in advance, and we will be happy to accommodate your needs.

We encourage a mindful and detoxifying environment, so no alcohol will be served. Herbal teas and natural drinks will be available, and limited caffeine options will be provided.

More information coming soon!

You will need to fly into Lisbon Airport (LIS) or get to Lisbon any other way. From there, we will arrange a group transportation to the retreat venue that is included in the price. More details will be shared upon confirmation of your booking.

Somatic exercises focus on body awareness, movement, and nervous system regulation. They help release stored physical and emotional tension, improve your ability to process emotions, and strengthen the connection between your body and mind. They help you develop techniques to manage stress and relieve anxiety, establish a self care routine and prevent burnout thereby promoting you to reconnect with yourself and feel grounded.

Yes! Our facilitators (who have backgrounds in medicine, somatic psychotherapy, yoga and coaching) will be available for guidance throughout the retreat. While the focus is on group workshops, private consultations can be arranged upon request and are encouraged if the need arises.

Absolutely! We believe that integration is key, so there will be plenty of free time for journaling, resting, walking in nature, or simply enjoying stillness.

While there is some free time in the schedule, we highly encourage you to stay present and immerse yourself in the retreat experience. This week is designed for deep self-exploration, relaxation, and personal growth, and spending time at the retreat center will allow you to fully benefit from the program.

That said, if you feel the need for a short outing, there may be opportunities to visit nearby nature spots and the small village we are located in. However, we do not recommend planning longer trips (e.g., to Lisbon) during the retreat, as it may take away from your experience.

If you’d like to explore more of Portugal, we highly suggest arriving a few days earlier or staying longer after the retreat to fully enjoy Lisbon, the coast, and the surrounding areas. 

We ask all participants to attend the group sessions, as the retreat is designed to create a safe and supportive space where everyone’s presence contributes to the group dynamic. That being said, we understand that personal needs may arise, and we are here to support you. If at any point you feel the need to step back, we encourage open communication so we can ensure you still feel safe and included in the process.

You can reserve your spot by filling out the booking form on our website and paying the deposit of 350 EUR. The remaining balance must be settled 7 days upon arrival. If you require an installment plan, we are happy to discuss alternative payment options—just reach out, and we’ll find a solution that works for you.

Yes, we will provide you with the packing list upon booking.

Bed linens and towels are provided. We strive to be sustainable, so we do not change towels or bed linens during the week unless requested. However, if you feel the need for fresh linens or an extra towel, we are happy to accommodate you.

We encourage a digital detox during the retreat to fully immerse yourself in the experience. However, we also understand the importance of being able to keep in touch with your community at home so WiFi will be available in most common areas.
