5 Night Retreat: 22nd - 27th September 2026
SOUTH OF LISBON, PORTUGAL
Wake to birdsong, move with intention, and settle into deep presence.
Each day offers a blend of nourishing yoga, soul-soothing stillness, and the freedom to simply be. Whether you’re wandering the forest trails, journaling beneath ancient trees, or savouring quiet moments with nourishing, seasonal meals—everything here invites you to breathe deeply, land softly, and return to yourself.
This Soul Sanctuary retreat with founder, Cat Meffan, asks you to come exactly as you are. To be open to transformation, playfulness, emotional vulnerability, fun, relaxation and a lot of embodied yoga, breath and movement.
Whether you're craving a yoga holiday in the sun, a deep reset, an invigorating connection to your body, or a chance to connect with a group of beautiful like-minded souls - we've got you covered.
Just 40 minutes south of Lisbon—but what feels like a retreat away from the hectic nature of life—this retreat is for the mindful, the curious, the quietly bold and the playful.
YOUR HOME FOR THE RETREAT
Your journey begins here, where the gentle rhythm of the Portuguese countryside meets the quiet elegance of contemporary living. Nestled within 130 hectares of protected land, our retreat house invites you to root & rise. Once a historic family farm and now a thoughtfully restored sanctuary, our retreat house holds the legacy of four generations. This is a place where nature is honoured, time slows down, and you’re gently reminded of life’s simple beauty.
Soul Sanctuary retreats aren't your average yoga retreats. We ask our guests to not only explore the physical practice of yoga and movement, but to be willing to delve into a journey of deep healing through many different modalities.
PLANT- BASED LIVING
The nourishing, plant-based meals at the retreat are not only delicious and filling but also wholesome, crafted with love to fuel your body and soul. Every dish is thoughtfully prepared fresh, offering a perfect balance of flavour, nutrition, and energy. Whether it's vibrant vegan bowls, nutrient-dense smoothies, or mouth-watering desserts, each meal is designed to support your wellness journey, and leave you feeling revitalised and refreshed.
We do our best to accommodate dietary requirements, provided they align with a plant-based diet. In some rare cases, highly specific or complex needs may be beyond what we can offer.
