Autumnal Integration Retreat

Autumnal Integration Retreat - Central Portugal

​

18th-22nd October 2025

​

This retreat invites you to slow down, reconnect and integrate the deeper layers of your healing within the wild beauty of central Portugal. Surrounded by lush valleys forest and flowing rivers, we gather in community to honour the natural cycles of letting go, restoration and renewal. Through movement, breath and connection, we create space for the body, mind and spirit to return to balance, finding clarity and deeper meaning within life's transitions.

​

You're invited to come and spend 4 nights in central Portugal in the majestic valley where 2 rivers meet at the renowned Eco retreat centre of Cara Creek. A community gathering organised by Estella with the theme and intention of integrating the last quarter of the solar cycle, with the easeful transition that takes us into the new Autumnal season (with the fresh smell of mushrooms and moss, its one of my favourites!)

A way to honour your journey, connect to community, move through emotions in a somatic way, from grief to joy as your body already has the answers, especially when given the space to listen. This is an opportunity to immerse yourself into guided and self reflecting practices and be held by nature with the wild rugged surroundings of Cara Creek. You will be led by experienced practioners and teachers so you can surrender fully into the experience.
