Retreat To PortugaL
Journey with me to São Teotónio Portugal, halfway between the sea and the countryside.
This past March I had the pleasure of visiting Portugal for a week of travel research and development. I visited the southern Island of Madeira and the inland province of Montemor-o-Novo. Both were spectacular and left me longing to know more of Portugal.
Over the summer I was connected to Pedro, the attorney-turned-land-steward and owner of Belong. His vision of creating a serene place to unplug and find simplicity amongst the land and within ourselves as a way to evoke a deep sense of belonging spoke to me immediately. After a conversation and a few emails the vision of this retreat was created.
Join me! May 27th - 31st

Unplugging.
Resting.
Experiencing.

Creating sanctuary within our inner-space.
Travel offers us the PERFECT opportunity to step outside of our routines & comfort zones.
Do you find that when being elsewhere in the world, outside of our daily surroundings and patterns, the volume of our inner voice gets louder? Our senses heighten, yet our nervous systems regulate. We’re able to relax and reset.
The essence of Retreat To Portugal is to:
1. Practice the art of slow living & being and integrating it to bring back to post-retreat life.
2. Receive high-quality care from specialists in the hospitality & wellbeing industry.
3. Experience Portugal’s countryside & coastal living.
4. Be with our Selves alongside kindred spirits.
