What you will experience

Yoga

Enjoy a variety of yoga styles daily, led by Mariel Witmond. These include Mandala, Vinyasa, Yin and Hiit Yoga combos. Stretch and strengthen as you are guided out of your overactive mind and into meditative flows, combining breath and movement to beautifully curated playlists.

Ceremonies

Experience the power of cacao ceremonies and sound healing, which hold a profound power to open the heart and facilitate deep connections. The sacred cacao elixir acts as a gentle guide, inviting participants to release emotional barriers and tap into their innermost feelings. 

Personal Development

Embark on a profound journey of personal development. From engaging workshops that empower you to embrace your natural rhythms, to transformative healing practices that facilitate emotional release and growth, and even the liberating and expressive art of dance.

Hotel

Casas na Ferraria is a unique place, about half an hour drive south of Lisbon. From the moment you arrive, the beauty of the buildings, the old renovated houses, the old rejuvenated wood, the soft colors, the delicious food, the sunlight. It all feels warm, it all feels at peace.

Food

We have enlisted the expertise of a talented local chef renowned for their culinary innovation. They have meticulously crafted an exclusive, mouthwatering vegetarian menu that harmoniously blends fresh, locally-sourced ingredients to tantalize your taste buds and nourish your soul.

Connection

Human connection is one of the key elements to our happiness. It can improve our overall wellbeing satisfying our need for belonging and acceptance. This retreat will offer a unique setting whereby you will feel truly supported by those around you and held in a safe environment to open up and be vulnerable.

TRANSFORMATION is the best word to describe how I feel at the end of an amazing retreat with Mariel! Mariel is an amazing and inspiring teacher, I love how she themed every practice and related activity to each and every element.I took part in shamanic rituals and used movement and breath to shift the mind and I walked out of the retreat feeling more clear, confident and definitely more connected!
