1 June - 5th June 2027 - Portugal
A loving immersion into sound, body, flowers and the subtle spaces within and without
Held amongst the wild, rustically beautiful landscape of Vale de Moses, Portugal, Flower Bodies & Frequencies is an invitation to listen…
To the body
To sound
To the natural world
To the humbling currents moving beneath the surface
Emotions
Quality
Vibration
Together, Sofie and Bella welcome you and weave their shared worlds of sound, flowers, embodied practice and inner enquiry into a layered and playful experience.
Sound sits at the heart of our days
Through immersive sound workshops, deep listening, flower meditation, improvisation and playful exploration, we become curious about sound beyond performance or the dance floor experinces, as a way of listening inward, connecting outward and entering altered rhythms of attention and love
T H E I N T E N T I O N
We will explore the listening body and inner sound body, vibration and silence, the sounds of the landscape, and the meeting place between sound and contemplative practice. There will be space to experiment, create and share, alongside opportunities to simply receive and listen.
Around this, our days weave through embodied yoga, meditation with flowers and flower essences, nature connection, circle, rest and spacious pockets of time with nowhere else to be.
Flowers and the living landscape accompany us throughout , sensory companions, quiet teachers and invitations into beauty, presence and the subtle.
There will be moments to journey inward and moments to come together.
Sound and silence.
Movement and stillness.
Tenderness and play.
Solitude and connection.
A retreat into the senses and beyond …

F O O D N O U R I S H M E N T
Food is an integral part of our time at Vale de Moses. Each day we’ll be nourished with three delicious vegetarian and vegan meals, lovingly prepared by the retreat’s experienced plant-based chefs.
Meals are inspired by Ayurvedic principles, using seasonal vegetables, fruits, herbs, spices and locally sourced produce wherever possible. Breakfasts are nourishing and grounding, lunch is the main meal of the day, and evenings are kept lighter to support rest and digestion.
The majority of the menu is vegan and gluten-free, and other dietary requirements can be accommodated when shared in advance.
Think colourful, abundant, plant-based food made with care, designed to leave you feeling deeply nourished rather than restricted.
working with flower beings during our retreat
Throughout our retreat, flowers become companions, teachers and a way of listening more deeply. Guided by Bella and Sofie, we will spend time connecting intuitively with the land, gathering flowers with care and creating space to notice what draws us towards particular plants, colours, textures and scents.
Through guided flower meditations, intuitive harvesting and gentle ritual, we will explore how flowers can bring us into closer relationship with our bodies, the living landscape and the subtler layers of our experience.
On Saturday evening, we will close our retreat with a floral sweat lodge: a deeply embodied ritual held with flowers, heat, scent, sound and intention. A space to soften, release and honour all that has unfolded during our time together.
(please note that this may be slightly changed if forest fires are a risk at the time of use)
Getting There
Vale de Moses is a beautiful family-run retreat centre nestled within the mountains and forests of central Portugal. Surrounded by ancient woodland, natural river pools and winding forest paths, it is a peaceful place to rest, reconnect and return to a slower rhythm. The land itself will be an important part of our retreat experience, offering clean mountain air, fresh spring water, nourishing vegetarian food and space away from the distractions of everyday life.
Vale de Moses is approximately 2.5 hours by car from both Lisbon and Porto.
Check-in is from 12pm on arrival day, and check-out is at 12pm on departure day.
If you are travelling by public transport, the simplest route is usually to travel to Lisbon and then take a Rede Expressos bus to Oleiros, the nearest local town. We will arrange a group collection from Oleiros and bring you to Vale de Moses.
For the return journey, we plan to arrange a private group coach directly from Vale de Moses to Lisbon. This will cost approximately €40/50 per person.
Where possible, we recommend allowing yourself a day on either side of the retreat, so that your journey to and from Vale de Moses does not fall on the same day as your flight. Staying overnight in Lisbon can help you avoid unnecessary rushing and create a gentler transition into the retreat. On your return, it also gives you space to remain connected to your experience and begin integrating it slowly, rather than moving immediately from the quiet of the land into the busyness of travel.
Recommended bus times, collection details and final travel arrangements will be shared with you closer to the retreat.

Who is this for?
This retreat may especially speak to musicians, DJs, producers, sound artists and creative souls who feel drawn to experiencing music beyond the dance floor, exploring sound not only as something we create or hear, but as a meditative, embodied and spiritual practice.
It is also for anyone who feels deeply moved by sound, flowers and the natural world, and is curious to explore their relationship with the body, creativity and the subtler layers of sensation and energy.
