In-Person Retreat
The Way of the Goddess Immersion Retreat
Join your fellow Immersioners to celebrate the conclusion of this unique program and dive into special practices together. The retreat is typically concluded with a puja to the Goddess.
More details about your Immersion retreat will be communicated through the Immersion forums and Whatsapp group.
PLEASE NOTE:
If you are not a participant of the Immersion or previous Immersions, your booking will be canceled.
While this Immersion extension is four-nights as opposed to three, the first full day will be a community led program encouraging time to connect in person with those you've seen online for the last six months. The formal program will only begin on the second night of retreat.

Our Beautiful Venue
Monte Velho Retreat Center, nestled in the tranquil Algarve region of southern Portugal, offers a serene and rejuvenating setting for our retreat. Surrounded by lush nature, rolling hills, and breathtaking views to the sea, this peaceful sanctuary is designed to harmonize with the natural landscape. With thoughtfully designed accommodations, open spaces for yoga and meditation, and an emphasis on sustainable living,
Monte Velho provides a quiet haven for practice, contemplation, and relaxation.
Owing to the proximity to a variety of holiday accommodation, we have a number of commuter spots available too. If your preference is to have your own private accommodation, this might be the best option for you.
The nearest airport is Faro International Airport (FAO), about a 1.5-hour drive from the retreat center (Lisbon airport is a 3-hour drive.) You can reach Monte Velho by renting a car, arranging a private transfer, or using public transportation to the nearby town of Aljezur, followed by a short taxi ride.
We will create a ride share sheet for all participants to coordinate sharing cars/taxis.
