Retreat Hosting
( the feeling of it )
A stone temple with wooden floors, a treehouse with a swing, and a family who will hand you the keys to both.
( the story )
A family-owned Alentejo retreat property near Odemira with a stone yoga temple, a garden treehouse, and three modes of hosting — garden, forest or exclusive.
( field notes, dawn to night )
A day here
early
The stone temple, bare feet on wood, the sound of the room doing half the work.
morning
Breakfast outside, then the gardens, then the treehouse and the swing under it.
afternoon
Workshops — permaculture, nutrition, whatever the visiting teacher has brought.
night
Alentejo dark, which is a serious kind of dark, and stars all the way down.
( worth underlining )
What sets it apart
What you can do
On the property
( plan your stay )
A group that arrives as separate people leaves having shared a temple and a table for a week.
Bring your retreat. We'll hold it.
best time to visit — April to October — dry, warm Alentejo months, with the heat easing near the Atlantic coast.
