1st – 4th of May, 2026

Remember what it feels like to be fully alive in your body, connected to the earth, and aligned with your natural rhythm.

In the wild heart of Central Portugal, a sanctuary awaits. Rooted & Wild is a 3-night (4 days) immersion designed for those who feel the call to step away from the noise of modern life and return to the essential truth of who they are.

This is where healing meets the horizon. Through the seamless weaving of somatic practices and nature-based wisdom, you will journey from overwhelmed to grounded presence, from disconnection to profound belonging. Here, you will discover the beautiful synergy of being rooted in your inner stability and wild in your authentic expression.
