We'd love to have you join us in Portugal this summer.
Pricing starting at $2175
Take a pause from the ordinary… and step into something deeply nourishing.
This summer in Southern Portugal, we gather to rediscover what it means to slow down, connect, and feel alive again. Village Nectar is an embodied retreat — built around community, presence, ritual, movement, and shared wisdom.
The Experience
In a world that moves fast, slowing down becomes an act of medicine. Village Nectar invites you to return to rhythm — your breath, your body, and the pulse of shared human connection. On the wild edge of the Atlantic, we create space to be before we do.
Over six days, you’ll explore embodied movement, somatic practices, storytelling, mythic wonderings, dreamwork, relational inquiry, breathwork, ritual, and community living — all woven into a container of presence, rest, and honest connection.
Expect moments that feel soft and sacred, surprising and playful — always rooted in curiosity and collective engagement.
The Deeper Benefits
At Village Nectar, you will:
- Reconnect to yourself through movement, breath, and storytelling
- Experience deeper connection with others in an intentional community
- Practice presence as a lived, felt way of being
- Move beyond distraction into meaningful attention
- Rest, explore, and align your inner rhythms with the rhythms of life
This retreat is medicine — for those who feel the call to slow, rest, and remember what matters.
What Makes This Retreat Special
This isn’t about “performing” yoga. Rather, it’s about feeling into your body, your breath, your relationships — and what unfolds when we open into curiosity together. Village Nectar is structured to foster belonging as a practice, not just a feeling.
Arriving as individuals, we return home with shared stories, deep inner connection, and companions for the rest of our lives. The wisdom here is not taught — it emerges through living, listening, moving, and being present with one another.
The Rhythm of Our Days
- While every retreat has its own flow, you can expect a daily rhythm that feels nourishing rather than rigid:
-
Morning
Embodied movement — from somatic explorations to spacious flows -
Midday
Shared meals, rest, reflection, and time in nature -
Afternoon + Evening
Workshops, relational practices, breathwork, ceremony, and storytelling Nothing is mandatory — you’re invited to follow what feels most nourishing for your body and spirit.
Our natural swimming lagoon makes for a delightful afternoon dip, and a sweet spot to relax and soak up some sun.
Our retreat center grounds are lush, providing a beautiful natural landscape with plenty of places to nestle in, or the opportunity to venture out into the surrounding area.
Community meals are the heart and hearth of our time together. Expect the best of what Portugal has to offer, prepared with love for our three meals a day.
From the natural swimming area, to the trees and flowers on the property, to the placement of accommodations and practice hall, you'll experience harmony and flow
Location & Setting
We’ll be hosted in Monte da Orada, an eco-sustainable retreat centre in Alentejo’s wild southern lands — where forest meets ocean and earth breathes with the wind.
With protected land, natural swimming canals, saunas, cold plunges, and endless views of sea and sky, this place invites you to slow, sink in, and just be. Vegetarian meals are served with care, grounded in the land and its rhythms.
