The Retreat

On ‘The Somatic Healing Circle’ Retreat, we believe that 'Self-expression' is vital for mental health and personal growth. It allows you to process emotions by expressing them, therefore, you'll be able to process and manage them more effectively in life.

Self expression also helps to reduce stress and anxiety, you can start to build your identity and understand your place in the world.

Connecting with others will encourage you to share personal experiences and your story, therefore encouraging empathy.

At 'The Somatic Healing Circle', we encourage a cultivation of creativity, where you can engage in self-expression to enable creative pursuits and innovation, leading to personal fulfilment, professional success and transformation.

We look forward to delivering a beautiful selection of 'self-expressive' practises including dance movement therapy (DMT), Traditional Yoga, (working with the eight limbs of Yoga). Laughter Yoga, Somatic Singing, various meditation methods, breathwork and progressive muscle relaxation (PMR).

You will also be journaling, so be sure to bring a notebook and pen along with you.

Accommodation

Experience the duality of Alentejo at Quinta Camarena. Here you can relax or play as much as you want! You can be one with nature and the warm community. You can wander and experiment. Gather and celebrate with the ones you love or have your solo traveller experience. Theres always something to do, but you can also just do nothing. Breath the fresh air, and let the stunning views take your breath away. In this stunning property of 4ha and surrounded by nature, you will have lots of space and feel secluded and safe as if you're in your private paradise.

Theres something about this place: The overwhelming nature that surrounds us and surprises us with its beauty, its smells, and sounds. The picturesque village of Cercal makes you feel you went back in time. The creative hidden pockets of a vibrant community that is building a new more sustainable way of life, or maybe is just going back to our roots. The flavours, like everything, seem so much more intense and unique here.

A morning hike, or a workout surrounded by nature, followed by the home-style brunch with local bread and fruit juice from our trees. Chill at one of the outdoor lounge areas or soak in the sun by the pool enveloped by the tranquillity of the forest. Hear the songs of birds and bells of sheep in the distance. Enjoy homemade meals with local produce and regional wine while watching sunsets in vibrant oranges and fiery reds. At night watch the starry truly spectacular sky.
