Our intention is for people to come together and share and practice and connect. So we want to make it possible and accessible for everyone. When you register, tell us for how long you want to stay, so you can manage your own budget. Price options
You need to take care of your own travel costs. We provide information on bus connections, which are cheap and offer to pick you up from the bus station for either 5€ from Vimieiro or 10€ from Estremoz (per car/journey, so if you arrive/leave together with others, you share the cost). |
Casa Monte do SerranoCasa Monte do Serrano is a traditional house in rural Alentejo converted to host gatherings of friends and family. The large piece of land offers not only a peaceful place to relax and enjoy the country air, but also an abundance of nurturing Earth energy. In your free time you can wander around or chill out on a sun bed, enjoy a dip in the pool or a good book.
Accommodation Designed for sharing, rooms are very cosy and comfortable and each has its individual charm. Alternatively, you can pitch up your own tent and connect with Mother Nature even more. Space for practice and sharing Depending on the weather, we can either use the large barn conversion for our practice or the large outside terrace with vast views into the countryside and the song of birds. The Food The food is made with natural ingredients prepared with care and consideration. The naturally high-in-energy and balanced meals will provide delicious replenishment for body and soul. |
Getting to Casa Monte do SerranoCasa Monte do Serrano is located near the small village of Vimieiro, about a 1h 45min drive away from Lisbon. We will provide detailed directions from Lisbon. Depending on who is joining us, we hope we can create a couple of carpools, so everyone can make their way at a minimum cost. If you make your way to Vimieiro or Estremoz by bus, we can arrange pick-ups.
Coming from abroad? There are many companies flying to Lisbon. Make sure your flight arrives by around lunchtime, so you can make your way to Casa Monte do Serrano in a relaxed manner or join one of the carpools. |
