What to expect

A week with nature and each other

Days bring together guided time outdoors, sessions led by Heather, shared meals and space for yourself. São Miguel’s forests, coast and volcanic landscapes provide the setting, while the group creates its own shared rhythm.

Each edition has its own programme, shared before booking.
