Where do the retreats take place?
The retreats take place in southern Portugal, in Aljezur, at our family home.
A space dedicated to nature, life and simplicity. A yurt, wooden cabins, ruins, trees, shrubs, flowers, birds, insects...
The place
This is a quinta — a 15-hectare property completely preserved, right in the heart of nature. We put down roots here to create our nest in harmony with nature, our needs and desires.
This green haven is a true sanctuary for those who love vegetation. You feel carried by nature — it supports you, surrounds you, you become fully part of it.
Here we find cork oaks, strawberry trees, hawthorn, cistus, lavender, lentisk, some eucalyptus and many other plants.
We have planted many fruit trees (apricot, pomegranate, apple, pear, plum, persimmon, cherry, nectarine, peach, almond, hazelnut, walnut...) and we use permaculture, agroforestry, syntropic farming and other concepts aligned with the needs of nature and humans.
The environment
Aljezur is a coastal village where sea lovers, surfers and nature enthusiasts seeking an alternative lifestyle come together.
By sea and land, you find here the hallmarks of Portugal — narrow cobbled streets, sea spray, vegetable gardens and orchards — with a great international openness.
The beaches are wild and natural, the cliffs majestic and inspiring.
There are many small coves and hidden spots I am always delighted to share with you when possible.
Accommodation
Depending on your preference and availability, you can stay in one of the rooms in the wooden cabins, in the yurt, or in a comfortable nomadic tent.
Here, simplicity and nature come first. The toilets are composting toilets, the shower is solar-powered, the water comes from the well and spring, and electricity is also solar.
With no grid connection, we operate in complete autonomy — to our great delight and for a genuine connection with our needs, resources and environment.
We invite you to experience simplicity — a life in close relationship with nature and the environment — to leave preconceptions behind for a pause of sincerity and authenticity.
Some retreats also take place outside our quinta: in rented houses, always in connection with nature — in the Alps in France or in Aljezur.
Activities
Depending on the retreat, the season and current possibilities, we are always delighted to share our passions:

Our philosophy
Above all, we want to share our lifestyle, our experiences and our journey.
Without dogma, in all sincerity — we are not trying to convince anyone. We love sharing because we believe that by changing ourselves, we can change the world.
The revolution plays out in everyday life, in our actions and choices. We simply want to open our doors from time to time to those who are searching.
No frills, no fuss — we share authenticity above all.
