Quinta São José dos Montes' main purpose is promoting a greater connection with oneself through activities integrating personal, social and spiritual dimensions, as well as contact with nature. They hosts events and retreats throughout the year (meditation, yoga, breathwork, conscious dance, natural horsemanship and shamanic practices, among others). They aim to create the least environmental impact in everything they do and move towards self-sufficiency in terms of energy, food and water (they have an artesian well, solar panels and grow their own organic vegetables). They promote care for the land and care for people with the mission of contributing to a better world.

If you choose the accommodation option, you have the choice between a dorm, a shared or private yurt, room or apartment. Bedding and towels are provided.

If you choose the camping & van option, you need to bring your own tent/van and camping gear (sleeping bag, mattress, pillow, blanket).

All meals are included (4 breakfasts, 4 lunches & 4 dinners). Organic, fresh and unprocessed food is lovingly prepared on site using locally-sourced produce whenever possible. Meals will be vegetarian with vegan options available. Quinta São José's chefs work with mindfully balanced menus, providing all the nutrients for a healthy body and an inspired mind. If you have any dietary restrictions or allergies, please let us know when booking.

We ask you to arrive between 16:00-18:00 on Wednesday 20 May to allow time to check-in, explore the grounds and settle in before we start. The retreat will start with dinner at 18:30.

The retreat will end after lunch at 15:00 on Sunday 24 May.
