The El Camino de Santiago:

For over a thousand years, pilgrims have walked the Camino de Santiago—a sacred path leading to the Cathedral of Santiago, believed to hold the remains of the apostle St. James. Once a religious pilgrimage, it has become a deeply personal journey for seekers from all walks of life, offering space for reflection, healing, and reconnection.

On this retreat, we walk the final 100+ kilometers of the Camino Francés, from Sarria to Santiago de Compostela. Each day invites you into presence as we walk 10–18 kilometers through rolling hills, ancient forests, and quiet villages. With every step, we slow down and return to what matters.

In the spirit of the Camino, we stay in welcoming albergues (pilgrim hostels) and rural guesthouses—simple yet soulful accommodations that offer warm hospitality, shared meals, and the unique sense of connection that makes this path so powerful.

Portugal:

After completing the Camino, we journey to Portugal for five nights of deep rest and integration at a luxury countryside villa near the beach. Casa da Aldeia Nova is located in Caminha, a picturesque town located at the northwestern tip of Portugal. This charming village offers an incredible blend of cultures with the Minho River serving as a natural border between Portugal and Spain. This exclusive six-room retreat space features a private pool, tennis courts, peaceful gardens, and thoughtfully designed spaces to relax, reflect, and restore. Surrounded by nature and just a short drive from the coast, it's the perfect setting to unwind and absorb the transformation of the pilgrimage. Each day includes nourishing yoga, breathwork, healthy seasonal meals, and time to simply be—whether by the pool, in the sun, or under the stars. We’ll also explore the local culture with curated excursions, including a visit to a nearby port wine town for a taste of authentic Portugal. This is your time to exhale, reconnect, and return home to yourself—grounded, spacious, and renewed.

Wellbeing Practices:

his journey is supported by daily well-being practices designed to help you reconnect with your body, clear emotional blocks, and cultivate inner stillness. Each day includes yoga, breathwork, and mindful movement to release tension, restore energy, and deepen your awareness. We integrate fascia release and somatic techniques to help you move with more freedom and presence, along with opportunities for cathartic release—making space for what’s been held too long. Guided meditations, journaling prompts, and group sharing circles offer time for reflection and integration, while nurturing a sense of community and authentic connection. These practices gently support you in returning to yourself—softening, opening, and awakening along the way.
