REST IN NATURE
5 DAYS
An Invitation to Reconnect with Yourself and Nature
Imagine a place where time slows down, where the presence of nature surrounds you and leads you back to what truly matters — yourself.
The Rest in Nature Retreat is more than just a pause: it is an inner journey.
It is a sacred space near Ericeira, created to welcome you gently, to silence the noise of the world, and to gently nourish your body, mind, and emotions.
During five days of conscious pause, you will be guided on a path of deep listening and reconnection, where every moment is an invitation to surrender, silence, and fully live the present.
In this refuge between sky, mountains, and sea, you will discover how it is possible to simply be.
Throughout the retreat, you will take part in Therapeutic Walks — meditative journeys in communion with nature, where each step invites presence.
Daily therapeutic practices will be offered, carefully designed to awaken your vital energy and harmonize your inner balance.
There will also be moments dedicated to silence and contemplation — where you can simply be: with yourself, with others, and with the living landscape that embraces you.
Your stay includes four nights of accommodation in a serene and welcoming environment, perfect for introspection, rest, and inner blossoming.
During the retreat, you will also be guided through a gradual detox process, supported by a pre-assessment in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
If you feel the call to pause, breathe deeply, and return home — within yourself — this retreat is for you.
Grant yourself this journey.
Allow yourself rest, listening, and rebirth.
Your path begins here.

How does it work?
As soon as we receive payment for the reservation, we will send you an ebook with guidelines for preparing for the retreat and we we’ll send a survey meant to gather your personal data and medical history information.
On the day of arrival, an introduction and preparation for detox will be made.
The diagnosis with the Chinese Medicine Therapist begins at the moment the photo of the tongue is sent. After the evaluation a personalized detox plan will be designed following the orientations from the principles of the Traditional Chinese Medicine.
During the retreat you may further deepen your work through different proposed detoxifying practices or integrative therapies.
You can choose to extend the program at Quintinha do Mar or add a personalized online follow-up program.
Therapeutic Practices
Through different experiences and therapeutic tools you can become aware and give new meaning to your experiences, gain resilience and, with clarity and dexterity, create solutions to everyday challenges.
The main objectives are to detoxify/purify the body, energy system and emotions, promoting a lighter and healthier life.
The purpose is always self-knowledge, presence and full connection in the relationship with your Being and everything around you.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
-
4 Therapeutic Walks – Hills and Sea
We will walk mindfully through the hills and along the Atlantic coast, absorbing the wisdom of nature. These moments are opportunities to release tension, calm the nervous system, and open inner space.
-
Daily Well-being and Balance Practices
Meditation, Therapeutic Writing, Art Therapy, Family Harmonization, and other therapeutic practices that help you care for your body, organize your mind, and listen to your emotions. These practices are gentle, accessible, and adapted to the group.
-
Daily Silence Periods (7 PM to 7 AM)
We cultivate silence not as absence, but as full presence. During these periods, you will be invited to dive into a more inner space, promoting deep rest and introspection.
-
Progressive Detox Based on Traditional Chinese Medicine
It begins with a liquid diet — infusions, soups, and juices — available throughout the day without fixed schedules, allowing you to serve yourself according to your needs. This is followed by the gradual introduction of a light, vegan solid diet, carefully designed to support the organs during the detox process.
-
4 Nights of Accommodation
-
Free Time for Integration and Rest
-
1 Online Follow-up Session (7 days after the retreat)
Because the process doesn’t end when you return home, we will support you with a session dedicated to integrating the experience.
*If, during the retreat, you feel any discomfort, there is no problem — your diet will be adapted according to your needs and well-being. All activities and proposals can be adjusted throughout the retreat, respecting the group flow and individual needs. The most important thing is that you feel safe, welcomed, and in tune with your process.
