There’s a reason we chose the mountains of central Portugal for this retreat.
When you’re trying to release patterns of tension your nervous system has held for years, environment matters more than most people realize. You need somewhere different from where the tension built up, somewhere quiet enough that your body finally feels safe to let go.
Vale de Moses sits at five hundred meters elevation, surrounded by forested hillsides with views that stretch for miles.
There’s no traffic noise, no rushing, and no sense that you should be somewhere else doing something more productive.
That kind of quiet is rare, and it does something to the work.
When your surroundings are calm, your body has an easier time softening. The tension that feels permanent in your ordinary life begins to feel less fixed.
Mornings are for movement sessions, and afternoons are yours to walk the paths, rest, or swim in the nearby river. In a very real sense, the place itself does some of the teaching alongside Martha.
October is a beautiful time to be there.
The days are mild, the evenings are cool. It’s the kind of setting that invites you to breathe more deeply and pay closer attention, which is exactly what this work asks of you.
Our retreat runs October 19 to 24, and we’re already looking at a great cohort of people!
