Energy + Expansion Retreat | City + Sanctuary Experience

June 16-23, 2024 | Portugal

Join Dubai-based holistic yoga teacher and healer Dina Ghandour in an immersive Summer retreat in beautiful Portugal — a journey to explore the deeper layers of our being, focusing on the subtle energies within. Together, we'll delve into practices that nurture, balance, and expand our inner realms, incorporating movement, meditation, chanting, and connection rituals throughout this week-long escape. Enjoy nourishing meals, like-minds and the embrace of Portugal's natural beauty, and let this experience be a transformative celebration of inner and outer self-discovery.

 
 

Part 1: Lisbon City Centre (2 nights)

We will begin our journey with a 2-night city experience, staying in Lisbon’s city centre at Small Luxury Hotel brand, Montecarmo12. With just 10 rooms, this gorgeous hotel is the perfect place for us to land and arrive into ourselves, for us to connect and play, and have the chance to explore what this beautiful city has to offer.

Part 2: Quinta Carvalhas (5 nights)

After the buzz and beauty of the city, we will make our way 1 hour outside of Lisbon to a wine farm that also serves as a retreat centre, Quinta Carvalhas, known as “the green farm.” This will be our sanctuary for the rest of the week where we will delve into deeper movement, meditation and energy practices.
