2026 Fall Portugal Immersion

October 25-31, 2026 |  Odemira, SW Portugal

More details about this brand new 6-day immersion coming soon!

Location

Monte da Orada, Odemira, SW Portugal

Monte Da Orada has been a place of pilgrimage for hundreds of years. Situated in a remote and magical valley the retreat center offers the perfect backdrop for our explorations.

It offers us the privacy and support to immerse deeply. The stunning views, calming water, untouched nature and nourishing environment assist and enhance our explorations and provide space for ritual.

The kitchen provides flavorful, locally sourced vegetarian meals and hence can support those with food sensitivities and allergies.

There are a variety of housing options to accommodate your preferences.

Accommodations
Orada offers different accommodation types from private suites and bungalows to tepees and cozy dorm rooms. The buildings and retreat facilities were reconstructed using traditional and organic adobe materials, giving this beautiful property not only an authentic Portuguese feel, but also providing a healthy and comfortable environment in all weather.
Accommodation includes the entire 5 night stay plus 3 meals & coffee/tea station each day.
