A 6-Day Devotional Retreat to Rest, Nourish & Reconnect
19 May -24th may 2027 | Portugal
“May you recognise in your life the presence, power and light of your soul."
Welcome to Devoted Being.
I'm so grateful you've found your way here.
This retreat is an invitation to step away from the pace of everyday life and into a slower, more intentional rhythm. Over six days we'll share nourishing movement, moments of stillness, wholesome food, time in nature and heartfelt connection, creating space to rest, reconnect and remember what truly matters.
Whether you're longing for renewal, inspiration or simply time to breathe, I hope this week offers a gentle invitation to devote a little more time, care and presence to yourself.
I can't wait to welcome you to Portugal.
While each day unfolds in its own unique way, our retreat follows a gentle rhythm, thoughtfully balancing movement, nourishment, rest and connection.
Morning
Begin your day with meditation, breathwork and an energising yoga practice before gathering for a wholesome, plant-based breakfast. The morning continues with philosophy, self-inquiry and reflective practices inspired by our theme of Devoted Being, creating space to deepen your connection with yourself both on and off the mat.
Afternoon
After a nourishing seasonal lunch, the afternoon invites you to slow down. Spend time resting by the natural pool, unwinding in the sauna, journalling beneath the trees or simply embracing the spaciousness of retreat life.
During the week, we'll also enjoy a group beach excursion and a guided nature hike. One afternoon will be left open for you to choose your own adventure. You're welcome to book an optional horseback riding experience or a cave and dolphin boat tour (approximately £60 per person), or simply remain at the retreat centre to enjoy a treatment, rest or quiet time in nature.
Evening
As the day begins to soften, we'll come back together for an evening yoga, restorative or sound healing practice, followed by a delicious shared dinner. Our evenings may include meditation, fire ceremony, music, meaningful conversation or simply time to sit beneath the stars, allowing the day's experiences to gently settle before rest.
Setting & Sanctuary :
Hidden amongst the rolling hills of southwest Portugal, Monte da Orada is a peaceful sanctuary where forest meets ocean. It is truly stunning.
Once a place of pilgrimage and healing, the land still carries a deep sense of stillness and power today. Surrounded by ancient cork trees, open valleys and wild atlantic coastline, it offers the perfect environment to step away from the busyness of everyday life and reconnect with what truly matters.
The retreat centre is approximately 1.5 hours from Faro Airport and 2.5 hours from Lisbon Airport, making it easily accessible from both airports.
Airport transfers are not included in the retreat price. However, as we get closer to our retreat, I'll be in touch to gather everyone's flight details and help coordinate shared transfers. My aim is to make your journey to the retreat as smooth, simple and affordable as I can.
If you prefer a little more freedom during your stay, you're also very welcome to hire a car. This can be a wonderful option if you'd like to explore the surrounding coastline, beaches and villages during your free time.
Whichever way you choose to travel, you'll receive all the information you need before we gather, so you can arrive feeling relaxed, supported and ready to settle into the week ahead.

From there, you can choose the payment option that feels most supportive for you , either pay in full or spread the remaining balance across monthly instalments.
I want this retreat to feel like something you can move towards with ease, so if a payment plan would make joining us feel more accessible, please get in touch and we can find an arrangement that works for you.
All payments must be completed 6 weeks before the retreat begins.
Food Nourishment
At the heart of every retreat is the simple act of gathering around the table.
Throughout the week, you'll enjoy three delicious plant-based meals each day, thoughtfully prepared using fresh, seasonal ingredients. Wherever possible, produce is sourced from the retreat's own gardens and trusted local growers, creating meals that are both deeply nourishing and full of flavour.
