The South-West Algarve, a gem on Portugal’s southern coast, is a paradise of stunning natural beauty. This region is renowned for its dramatic cliffs, golden beaches, and crystal-clear waters.
Inland, the Algarve’s landscape transforms into rolling hills and lush forests, interspersed with picturesque villages. The area is rich in biodiversity, with the Costa Vicentina Natural Park preserving its wild beauty and providing a sanctuary for numerous plant and animal species. 
The South-West Algarve’s unspoiled beauty, combined with its mild climate and vibrant local culture, makes it a must-visit destination.  Get captivated by the natural splendor and serene charm of our remarkable region.

Mediterranean food

Mediterranean food is a delightful journey for the taste buds and a boon for our health. 
Imagine indulging in a colorful plate brimming with fresh vegetables, juicy tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, and aromatic herbs, all drizzled with golden olive oil. 
This cuisine is not just a feast for the senses but a celebration of wholesome ingredients.

Breathwork session

After the meet and greet at the sanctuary we will head to Jan Buis in his beautiful yurt to have a breathwork session. Breathing the soul in and to feel your essence is a great way to start the retreat.
Breathwork is a transformative practice that harnesses the power of conscious breathing to enhance physical, mental, and emotional well-being. The beauty of breathwork lies in its simplicity and accessibility. 
It promotes a sense of inner peace, fosters emotional resilience, and supports a deeper connection with oneself.

Meditating with the horses

Horses are extremely sensitive animals, and they realize and understand when we use our breathing to communicate with them. 
When we meditate, and slow down our breath to a steady rate, we can calm down our judgmental mind and find ourselves at peace with the present moment. 
It's here that we can then experience the magic of the horses responding to us. That’s when they tune in to our mindful energy, and a connection is created. 
By sharing this meditation time together, and doing nothing but focusing on the here and now, we open the door to mutual deep connection and understanding. Meditation with horses helps us to become centered, and worries and concerns fall away.

Horses are magical creatures full of wisdom, peace and power at the same time. While being with them, their big and pure hearts will have a healing effect on us humans ... if we allow ourselves to open up to the adventure ...
