Journey to the Iberian Peninsula and into the heart of Portugal with Liza for a 7-day / 6-night retreat at the tranquil grounds of Quinta Carvalhas, a lovingly restored 150-year-old estate nestled in the Ribatejo countryside. This peaceful setting offers the perfect opportunity for you to slow down and simplify, while refreshing your mind, body, and soul through nature connection, community, and a curated set of daily yoga and mindfulness practices.
As the immersive experience unfolds, enjoy evenings on the open-air yoga deck, organic farm-to-table meals, afternoons by the pool, a live traditional Fado serenade, and an excursion to the Atlantic Coast. Explore the spaciousness of your heart through the gentle rhythms of life at Quinta Carvalhas, and let its creative and healing energy, brought to life by the presence of horses and vibrant gardens, guide you back to a place of ease and joy within.
