"To flourish"

 

Reborn with spring. A retreat to open your heart and plant intentions.

Blooming is more than a retreat — it's an invitation to rebirth. In the gentle energy of spring and the symbolism of Easter, we create a sacred space for you to leave behind what no longer serves you and consciously plant new intentions.

This Easter, take a pause from your daily rhythm and reconnect with your center in a retreat dedicated to the well-being of body, mind and spirit. Surrounded by peaceful landscapes and the light of new beginnings, you'll experience days filled with mindful practices, restorative silence, and moments of deep inner connection.

Throughout the retreat, you'll enjoy daily Yoga and Meditation sessions designed to revitalize your body and calm the mind.You'll also have the opportunity to dive into the world of Reflexology, with an introductory workshop and individual sessions that promote energetic balance and release tension.

More than just a pause, this retreat is an invitation to renewal - a space to breathe, nurture yourself, and find inspiration in a warm, welcoming environment that encourages rest and self-discovery.

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.

Ana Ribeiro, Lisbon

“I arrived at the retreat exhausted from the pace of the city and left with a serenity I hadn’t felt in years. The teachers have a calm authority — you can tell they deeply master yoga and meditation, but above all, they teach from the heart. The organization was impeccable, from the schedule to the activities, and the vegetarian meals… simply divine. Each practice seemed to create space inside me. I returned home with a sense of fullness and harmony that still accompanies me.”

Mark Thompson, United Kingdom

“I travel often for retreats, but this one near the Serra d’Aire e Candeeiros exceeded all my expectations. The depth of the practices, guided by highly skilled teachers, took me to levels of presence I rarely reach. The vegetarian food was so delicious that I asked for several recipes. The surrounding landscape, the thoughtful organization, and the welcoming atmosphere created the perfect space to reconnect with inner peace. I felt a profound harmony, as if everything finally aligned.”

 

Helena Martins, Porto

“Joining this retreat was a true gift. The teachers share a rare wisdom and have an incredible ability to adapt the practices to each person. The morn meditation was one of the most transformative moments of my life. Everything flowed naturally, and the vegetarian meals were as nourishing as they were delicious. I felt wrapped in an energy of peace and fullness that restored the confidence and balance I had been seeking.”
