Wild & Woven: Autumn Gathering – A Somatic Immersion Retreat in Portugal
You have been looking for a pause like this. It exists. It is in Portugal. And there are only 8 spaces.
25–28 September 2026 | Central Portugal
You know that feeling when life has been loud for too long?
When your body is tired, your mind is full, and you cannot remember the last time you felt truly at ease?
This is the pause you have been looking for.
The Experience
Four days in a quiet valley in Portugal. A small circle of kindred souls. A gentle rhythm that honours rest and invites presence.
Your mornings begin with soft movement – Kundalini yoga and somatic practices that bring you back into your body, not push you harder.
You walk through the forest with a basket, learning the names of wild herbs. You taste the land – wild mint, lemon balm, the first autumn mushrooms.
Afternoons are for stillness. A gong bath that carries you into deep listening. Time to journal, to nap, to sit by the river, to simply be.
Evenings gather around the table – slow meals made with local food, shared with laughter and silence. A cacao ceremony that opens the heart. A fire circle under the stars.
You will learn to make a simple herbal remedy to take home. A small piece of the valley in your pocket.
And when you leave, you will carry something else too – a felt sense of belonging. To yourself. To the land. To the circle that held you.
For Those Who Feel the Call
This retreat is for you if you long to reconnect with nature – or to connect with it for the first time.
If you want to learn simple, practical skills to bring home – foraging, herbal remedies, ways to listen to your body.
If you are ready to let go of what no longer serves you.
And if you are ready to return to your life feeling clearer, calmer, and deeply replenished.
What Awaits You
· Daily Somatic Movement & Kundalini Yoga – gentle practices to return to your body, not workouts to exhaust you
· Immersive Sound Journeys – gong baths that release what you have been holding
· Medicine Walks & Sensory Foraging – learn the wild herbs of the Portuguese autumn
· Herbal Workshop – create your own simple remedy to take home
· Sacred Ceremonies – cacao circle and fire ceremony under the stars
· Nourishing Farm‑to‑Table Meals – vegetarian, local, made with love
· Rest & Silence – time to journal, nap, wander, or simply be
Your Sanctuary
Nestled in the valleys of Central Portugal, Blue Morpho House is a restored stone quinta surrounded by cork oaks, olive groves, and forest. The river is nearby. The stars are bright at night. The silence is deep.
The land itself is your partner here. It waits for you.
Your Guides
Chanan is a Buddhist psychotherapist, Kundalini yoga teacher, sound healer, and qualified community herbalist (continuing her clinical studies in plant medicine).

He knows the forests intimately, leads medicine walks, creates nourishing farm‑to‑table meals, and together with Chanan guides immersive gong baths and sound journeys using gongs, Tibetan bowls, and other healing instruments. Grounded, intuitive, and warm.
Together, they hold space for you to return to yourself.
