Join us for a deep journey into your own heart and access your love and power. Together, we go into 4 days of silence. This experience is held with guided meditations, yoga & somatic movement practices with live soundscapes & you receive a one-on-one personal session to support this journey of inner silence (Transformative Body Work or Family Constellation). We then break the silence with a sweatlodge and share our insights, open our voices and set the ground to bring your insights into action and expression. We share our stories by the fire, we dance, sing and pray together and enjoy life on the mountain.
Being in a GOOD RELATIONSHIP with ourselves allows us to be in GOOD RELATIONSHIP with the world.
Our daily yoga and meditation retreat program
Start the day with an early guided meditation on the mountain top and enjoy a healthy breakfast overlooking the mountains and listening to the birds.
For lunch, we nourish ourselves with delicious plant-based, local food created by Olga. Later, when we break the silence, we will learn from her how this way of eating and cooking makes you an activist for living in harmony with the earth.
In the afternoon & evening, you have time to do nothing. To simply be and spend time with yourself. You can go for walks through the mountains, listen, meditate, journal, reflect, restore and rediscover that every day is a gift.

We are excited to welcome you in our new beautiful Ocean & Yoga retreat boutique location "Wild Oasis" on the mountain top of Monchique, Algarve.

Accommodation will be in cozy single rooms with ensuite bathroom, a double glamping caravan, or in a dorm glamping tents, tipis and community tipis - or you can bring your own camping gear or campervan.
We also hve on the property a beautiful dome overlooking the mountains to practice yoga and dance, we have a sauna and a sweatlodge, a beautiful dining room and terraces to eat and chill, a cork oak forrest and hiking trails into the mountains of Monchique and amazing hosts and team to care for us and host us here!
What happens when we stop the continous input of news, tasks, and communication?
I have been dreaming of creating a yoga and meditatio retreat in Portugal, that honors the true meaning of "retreat". To go inside. To give us a chance to be in the richness of silence, our true peaceful state, to deeply nourish there and learn more about ourselves instead of constantly avoiding through business and things to achieve.
It is my prayer to turn our unique discoveries into a state of high vibration, action and expression, in the heart of our life, our family, our community. To be better humans. To say yes to life.
I invite you to join this journey with all my heart.
with love,
Jana
