Nature retreat

welcome to

vale das lobas

Step back from ordinary life to take time to reflect and recentre your life.

Find connection to your self, your community and to the natural world, and come home to your true nature.

In the foothills of the Star Mountains with a river fed by springs and water mines, this fertile valley has been a spiritual sanctuary since the ancestors built temples and dolmens here in neolithic times. Ancestral wisdom is alive in the rocks and stones, the water, and the soil. Vale das Lobas means Valley of the She-Wolves, in honour of the wild spirit of nature that unites us all.

As a guest you will be welcomed with genuine hospitality and personal care. You will be immersed in experiences that are inspirational and transformative. You might come for healing, learning, community or adventure, and in all cases you will experience nourishment and support for your body and your soul.

experiences

The experiences at Vale das Lobas support connection, with yourself, with each other and with nature. At a healing retreat, you will experience the opportunity to release the past, and step into more presence and health. At a gathering, you will join together with a community who are connecting together through sound, movement and activity. The adventure experiences include hiking, mountain biking, river kayaking, in a beautiful, natural environment. The courses provide access to artisanal crafts and practices, including making soaps and natural health care products in our apothecary, building with natural materials, working with green wood in the forest school, ceramics, and making sound instruments with metals in the School of Sound.
