Time to Refresh, Renew and Relax
About Our Retreats
Our retreats are a combination of workshops and meditations mixed with plenty of time to rest, relax, restore and explore with other incredible members from our community.
WHAT
You’re invited to linger in the pregnant pause of summer, feel the sun on your face, and celebrate the joy of having a human body! With daily practices led by Tony Lupinacci to guide you through Hatha Vinyasa classes to reconnect with your body and move with intention and Desirée who will teach Kundalini Yoga, Meditation and Breathwork, this retreat is for anyone who wants to dive into community, reconnect with their practice, and experience the sweetness of Portugal at the peak of summer.
Everyone and all levels are welcome! Bring your friends, lovers, roommates and/or mothers!
WHERE
Hosted at Cocoon Portugal, a 275 acre coastal farm + retreat, offering inspiration + community for the modern traveller. It's pure magic, where between the oversized hammocks and the coastal bluffs, you'll start to lose track of time. The kind of place where each morning is a celebration, practicing under the canopy of old growth pines, but so is each evening, with world class wine and fascinating dinner conversation.
Situated on the breathtaking Atlantic coast of Portugal, near the charming fishing village of Zambujeira do Mar, in the Alentejo region, which is known for its long stretches of untouched coastline. From Lisbon, Cocoon is about two hours drive south, entirely dependent on how many espressos you’ve had (from Faro, slightly closer). The ocean, with bluffs, trails, and sandy coves, is a 15 minute drive away.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
Accommodations at Cocoon Portugal, 3 fresh daily farm to table meals, 1 morning class + 1 afternoon class each day 4x throughout the retreat, swimming in the ocean as we explore the coastline, and more!
