Portugal Retreat
16 - 21 June 2026
Our 5 Elements Wellness Retreat invites you to explore and experience wellbeing practices and ceremonies inspired by Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether - designed to realign and rejuvenate body, mind, and soul. An opportunity to release and recharge, reconnecting with your true essence.
We have mindfully curated this retreat with a diverse programme of yoga, breathwork, massage, guided meditations, chanting and sound healing. These are complemented by elemental rituals - such as a heart-opening cacao ceremony, a sacred fire circle under the stars, mountain water blessings, and earth connection practices. Each day, you will also be nourished with fresh, organic, vegetarian meals prepared with local produce.
You will be staying at Casa de Cura, an intimate off-grid sanctuary surrounded by olive groves, fruit trees, and mountain views. The retreat offers a light-filled yoga shala, meditation deck, natural swimming pool, outdoor kitchen and dining terrace, and peaceful gardens for rest and reflection. Accommodation is simple yet comfortable, with rustic private or shared rooms designed with natural materials and a grounding connection to the land.
We are truly excited to bring you this transformative experience and to guide you back to balance, harmony, and vitality through the wisdom of the five elements.
