Breathwork Retreat
A Somatic Journey into Inner Peace
Are you listening? Do you trust it?
A five-day journey that unfolds into your everyday life — bridging body and mind, and rooted in the spirit of retreats in Portugal.
A space to slow down, reconnect with your aliveness, and find clarity and inner peace. Through breathwork, somatic practices, and reflection, you'll be guided back into your body, back into feeling, into truth, into yourself.
Breathwork is a sacred practice, an ancient wisdom carried into the present moment. It teaches us that the answers we seek often lie within us, waiting for the courage of a single, conscious inhale. As you surrender to the rhythm of your breath, trust that everything you need is already inside you.

Joris
After many years of leading sessions, retreats, and teacher trainings at Samma Karuna on the island of Koh Phangan, Thailand, Joris is finally bringing his work to Europe. This marks an important and exciting new chapter—sharing the practices he loves in the part of the world he once called home. With a background in coaching and therapy, Joris brings a down-to-earth mix of empathy, clear guidance, and a good sense of humor.

FAQs
Who is this retreat for?
This retreat is for people who want a meaningful reset, not just a getaway. It fits well if you are feeling overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, disconnected from your body, or navigating a life transition and wanting clarity. It is also a good fit if you are looking for a grounded, guided path into breathwork and somatic healing.
Is this retreat easy to reach without a car?
Yes, very. Most guests fly into Lisbon and then take a taxi, transfer, or shared ride to Casa do Sol. Travel time is usually around one hour, and after booking we can guide you on the simplest route based on your arrival time. It is one of our favorite options for wellness retreats near Lisbon.
I'm new to breathwork. Is this still for me?
Absolutely. You do not need previous experience. We guide each practice step by step, offer options for different comfort levels, and hold the space in a trauma-aware way so you can move at your own pace.
Will this feel like a yoga retreat too?
Yes, in rhythm and atmosphere. There is movement and meditation in the daily flow, and guests often compare the experience to yoga retreats Portugal, while this journey goes beyond a classic yoga format by combining breathwork, somatic healing, and integration practices.
How intense is the schedule?
It is deep, but not rushed. You will have powerful guided sessions, and also time to rest, journal, walk, and integrate. The intention is transformation with nervous-system safety, not overwhelm.
Is there personal space, or is it all group time?
There is both. The group container is an important part of the journey, and we intentionally include personal time so you can process privately and listen to your own rhythm.
What should I bring with me?
Bring comfortable layers for movement, a journal, swimwear, and anything that helps you feel grounded. If you are unsure, just ask us after booking and we will send a practical checklist.
Somatic Healing
The retreat is designed as a somatic healing journey, meaning we do not stay only in the mind. Through breathwork, movement, and integration practices, you learn how to listen to the body, regulate your nervous system, and process emotional patterns in a safe, structured way.
Instead of chasing peak experiences, the focus is practical and sustainable: helping you leave with tools you can continue using in daily life for emotional resilience, clearer boundaries, and steadier energy.
Why Óbidos
Óbidos gives the best of both worlds: a calm environment for deeper inner work, while still being close enough to Lisbon for easy travel. That balance matters. It means less travel stress, more time in retreat rhythm, and a more grounded start to your process.
Casa do Sol is set up to support both depth and comfort, with nature, quiet spaces, and community flow. For many guests, that combination is exactly what makes this retreat near Lisbon feel both accessible and truly restorative.
