Portal 2027: Yoga to Close Cycles and Create Visions

 

More than a celebration, this retreat is a rite of passage. A sacred space to close out the year with mindfulness and welcome the new year with intention.

 

Portal 2027 represents a symbolic moment of introspection and renewal. Through the practice of yoga, we create inner space to close old cycles and release what no longer serves our growth. Each pose becomes a gesture of letting go, each breath a bridge to new possibilities.

By closing cycles, we allow stagnant energy to transform into clarity and creativity. Guided meditation and visualization exercises during the yoga practice help us create conscious visions for the future, aligned with our deepest purposes.

This portal is an invitation to pause, feel, and imagine. By uniting body, mind, and spirit, we become architects of our own path, prepared to manifest new realities with serenity and focus.

We lovingly prepare every detail to warmly welcome you

The retreat will take place in Minde, a dreamy place amidst the nature of the Natural Park of Serra Aires e Candeeiros

 
The house is set in a small forest full of native species: a hundred-year old oak tree, ash trees and fig trees, in the shade of which you can relax on one of the hammocks, read a good book or listen the melodies of blackbirds, hoopoes and thrushes.  Rebuilt from a family house, it mixes the ancestral roots of a village with almost 900 years and a modern simplicity that will make you feel welcomed as if you were at home. With all the comfort and amenities it is the ideal place to nourish the body and mind.
