Retreat "Natureza"
Available from April 1 to October 31,
in Óbidos (Portugal)
A brand-new, ultra-private retreat format as immersive holidays for two* : an intensive dive within.
I'm offering you the chance to enjoy a timeless, immersive experience, alone or with a lucky chosen one ! I see a growing need around me to disconnect, away from the hustle and bustle, and the desire to be alone or in the company of people we choose to experience special moments that will remain forever engraved in our hearts 🤍
I'm delighted to welcome you here to my home in Portugal, on the grounds of Almaterra Conscious Resort, a sanctuary for the Living!

Nature teaches us how to approach life so as to harmonise with living things and reconnect with our deepest selves
The time has come.
Time to slow down, to feel.
Time to breathe, to listen, to rediscover ourselves.
It's time to take a step back and get back to basics, to leave the hectic, busy world behind for a moment and recharge our bodies and minds.
It's time to refocus, so we can recharge again.
It's time to learn to be present to what we're experiencing, because that's what being alive is all about. It's time to embrace the ups and downs of our existence, time to embrace the lifestyle of 'flow'. To live in the moment, with our perceptions, our bodily sensations, to be aware of what we hear, what we see, what we breathe, our emotions.
Time to live with greater serenity and peace. In harmony with Mother Nature, who surrounds us, who welcomes us, who guides us.
This retreat is a call to you, who have lost yourself way along the way, by dint of doing what was expected of you, by dint of wanting to do well, by dint of always wanting to be there, to be present, to perform, to be perfect.
To you who are ambitious and successful, a builder and leader, a driver and a manager, but who don't really know where you stand any more.
This retreat is a call to you who needs a breather, who dreams of a time-out, a re-energising break.
This retreat is a call to you who are tired, bored, who feel a certain emptiness inside, like a lack of something, muted questions.
This retreat is an invitation to travel.
A journey to the heart of nature, to the heart of yourself. A journey to the heart of the magic of Life that flows within you and around you, of the beauty and simplicity of Life, of infinite abundance. A journey to discover a rhythm that respects the living in and around you.
This retreat is an invitation to rediscover your place at the heart of the Great Whole, to reconnect with your deepest nature, your humanity and your vulnerability.
An immersion alongside Mother Nature, profoundly intelligent and loving, ready to communicate her ageless wisdom to you if you open up and connect with her.

Location & accomodation
You'll be staying at Almaterra Conscious Resort, a nature retreat centre in the heart of a national park and animal sanctuary. This is a unique place to immerse yourself and reconnect, a powerful place to get in touch with Earth's Soul. A truly immersive and sensory experience at the heart of the LIVING, just 5 minutes by car from one of Portugal's most beautiful medieval villages: Óbidos, the Village of Queens.
You'll stay in a comfortable glamping tent equipped with a king-size hotel bed, bed linen, towels, eco-friendly shower gel and shampoo - everything you need for a comfortable stay.
The shower room and toilets are in a shed opposite the tent (dry toilets and solar camping pressure shower).
The tent is surrounded by a large private garden with a terrace for your meals and a hammock for lounging.
In addition to your tent, you'll have access to the entire 7-hectare estate. We invite you to wander through the fields and forests, in contact with the dense, wild vegetation. We've opened a number of paths for you to follow to discover the local flora and fauna. You'll also be able to access the paddock where the horses are kept and meet them - as long as you respect the safety precautions we'll tell you about.
In short, there's plenty to do on Almaterra! Grab your walking shoes and set off on your adventure.
In short, an unforgettable experience !

It's on this path that she guides you towards greater self-love and serenity.
