Return to Your Nature Retreat

–

Gandum Village

An invitation to step away from the everyday and make space for nature, presence and connection.

Across two days at Gandum Village, the retreat offers space to slow down and reconnect with yourself in community.

Guided by Cátia and Fabiana, we’ll explore movement, yoga, breathwork, Reiki, meditation, nature walks, journaling and music as healing, alongside seasonal food, meaningful connections and moments of stillness.

No yoga or Reiki experience is needed — just curiosity, an open heart and a willingness to explore. To join us, complete the registration form below. You can contact Fabi with any questions about accommodation or the retreat.

Frequently Asked Questions

9–10 January 2027 | Gandum Village, Portugal

1. Why just 2 days?

Because reconnecting with yourself shouldn't require taking a holiday.

Our intention is not simply to offer a temporary escape, but to introduce meaningful practices that you can integrate into your everyday life.

Two days to slow down, reconnect with nature, explore new ways of caring for yourself and return home with tools that stay with you long after the retreat ends.

You don't need to escape your life to reconnect with yourself.

2. Do I need previous experience with yoga, meditation or Reiki?

Not at all.

This retreat is open to everyone, regardless of previous experience. All activities are guided and designed to be accessible to beginners.

You are welcome exactly as you are.

3. What is included in the retreat?

Your retreat experience includes:

  • One night of accommodation at Gandum Village

5. What should I bring?

We recommend bringing comfortable clothing, warm layers for January, suitable shoes for outdoor walks and your personal essentials.

Absolutely.

You don't need to come with a friend or partner. Many people choose to attend retreats on their own.

This experience is an opportunity to reconnect with yourself while naturally connecting with others in a welcoming environment.

7. Will I have free time?

Yes.

We believe that rest, silence and moments of stillness are just as important as guided activities.

The programme includes opportunities for personal reflection and simply enjoying the surroundings.

8. Do I have to participate in every activity?

No.

Every practice is an invitation, never an obligation.

You are free to pause, rest, observe or step away whenever you feel the need. We encourage you to listen to your body and respect your own boundaries.

Past Gathering

Return to Your Nature — First Heart’s Space Gathering

Sintra

Our very first Heart’s Space Gathering took place in the beautiful forests of Sintra.

Together, we created a space to slow down, reconnect with nature, and return to ourselves.

Through conscious walking, breathwork, grounding, somatic practices, guided meditation, journaling and Reiki, we explored our connection with our inner child, our emotions and the natural world.

We shared moments of silence, reflection, vulnerability and genuine human connection.

A beautiful beginning to the Heart’s Space journey.

To heal and help others heal.
