THIS IS FOR YOU.

If you feel less like yourself, out of alignment, overwhelmed, rushed, or unclear.

 

If you feel it's time to slow down, to pause and reflect.

To be honest with yourself about where I am today, and how that makes me feel.

To dare to dream of where I want to go & how to design your days in alignment.

We invite you to a heavenly place in South West Algarve, Portugal.

A serene place, in the heart of the national park, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.

One of the oldest, most renowned retreat centres in this area, 'Monte Velho'

 

To come together and practice and experience the core teachings, techniques, tools & principles of being ON. PURPOSE.
 

This retreat will remind you, of who you truly are.

What drains your energy, what fuels you up? What brings you joy & fulfilment?

In which ways you have been abandoning yourself?  

Clarifying your long-term dreams/goals, and what you need daily to feel good.

And how to organise your days accordingly. 

5 days & 4 nights to pause, to be in touch with yourself, to eat nourishing food, to wake up with the sunrise, observe nature & the seasons, and connect with the new moon's energy of new beginnings. 

To feel free to be yourself & live

ON. PURPOSE.

JACQUELINE.

For me, this retreat was truly divine and exactly what I needed: a complete experience at the right moment, at the right place, with the right people, facilitated by two gifted ladies who operate like yin and yang; complementary, in harmony and adaptive to continuous change.

EMMA.

The perfect combination of finding rest and re-energising as well as a firm nudge in personal development. The workshops led towards thinking about where you are now and where you want to be heading and were handed practical tools to start straight away! Carlijn & Elena are very skilled & complementary in their teaching. All of this while being surrounded by the most beautiful nature and amazing people.

THE LOCATION.

From the “Monte” top, we become conscious of the vast natural space around us. Overlooking the ocean. The overwhelming beauty of one of the most, or perhaps last, secret places in the world.

Monte Velho Retreat Centre is the oldest, and most renowned, in the area for offering top-notch holistic retreats. 

It is located in the middle of nowhere, where the most southwestern point Europe sinks into the Atlantic. In the heart of the Vincentia National Park, with many hiking tracks around. 

 

It is a region enriched by the strength of its nature, where the high cliffs overlook the ocean, filling the air with a fresh breeze. Where you feel you are at the end of the world. 

Activities you can do around Monte Velho: Hiking, Mountainbiking, surfing, fishing, and bird watching.

 

And of course, you are free to do absolutely nothing.

Monte Velho serves colourful, nourishing, Ayurvedic-inspired plant-based food, prepared by their top-level Iranian Chef.

"We pay attention to the principles of Ayurveda as we understand the healing effects of food. This traditional system of medicine is based on studying the unique conditions of each one individually.

Looking to personal attitudes, intolerances, and time of the year, and being aware of how to bring Joy and Love to our dishes while avoiding animal products."

They offer fresh, seasonal food from their gardens & local producers in the area. Organic. Every day fresh. Prepared with love.

"We work with unprocessed foods, fresh and locally sourced, and we use herbs and vegetables from our own garden in Monte Velho. We challenge ourselves to provide as much as possible from local farmers and homemade food."
