Dear Friends of The Green Farm,
We are delighted to bring you the latest updates from Quinta Carvalhas – The Green Farm, your sanctuary for rejuvenation and well-being in the heart of Portugal’s serene countryside. As the summer season draws to a close, our retreat centre is buzzing with the energy of renewal, growth, and connection.
Embracing Nature’s Bounty
This summer, Quinta Carvalhas has been a haven for those seeking to reconnect with nature and themselves. Our organic gardens are flourishing, providing fresh, nutritious produce for our farm-to-table meals. Guests have enjoyed the vibrant flavours of locally sourced fruits, vegetables, and herbs, all grown with love and care right here on the farm.
Our sustainability initiatives continue to thrive, with the recent installation of additional solar panels, which now power the majority of our retreat centre. We are proud to say that our commitment to eco-friendly practices has made Quinta Carvalhas a model for sustainable living.
Upcoming Retreats: Nourish Your Body, Mind, and Soul
As we transition into autumn, we are excited to announce a series of retreats designed to help you unwind and reconnect with what truly matters.
- Barre and Wellness Retreat (September 28-29): Disconnect and build healthy habits. Join Sofia, founder of BBody Barre Academy, for a special retreat focused on resetting and aligning body and mind.
- Self Love Retreat (October 1-6): Are you ready to reconnect with your true self and embrace a journey of profound self-love? Join us for a five-night women’s retreat led by Sally Fazeli. This immersive experience goes beyond health and wellness, offering a deep dive into self-love, exploration, and transformation. Reconnect with your true self through holistic practices such as yoga, somatic movement, ecstatic dance, breathwork, meditation, and art therapy. Embrace your inner wisdom, heal, let go and surrender to the authentic truth of who you are. This retreat is an investment in your future self, empowering you to live radiantly and confidently in who you truly are.
- Outono – The slowing rhythms of being (October 22-27): An invitation to be immersed in a 5-night retreat of practice, community, nurturing self-discovery and a countryside escape in the beautiful heart of Portugal. Join Tamara for an autumnal retreat, a slowing and transformational time to move into a different rhythm, embrace the dynamics of nature’s shifts and changes. We explore together whilst opening up to the quieter moments to yourself, taking this opportunity to step back from your day-to-day, and allow yourself time to reconnect.
- Mosaic Art Retreat (November 4-7) Join the talented artist Lucy Jackson for a retreat of mosaic, yoga, peaceful surroundings, fantastic food and friendly dogs. We invite seasoned mosaic artists as well as newbies – all levels of skill and creativity are welcome on this retreat where you will contribute to a group mosaic as well as complete your own project (or two!) to take home with you.
- Just Flow Autumn – Yoga & Meditation Retreat (November 7-12) Join us from 7 to 12 November as we start an inward journey of self-care, nourishment, support and community. The energy of autumn brings warmth, comfort and hot chocolate ☕ Enjoy fireside cocooning as nature transitions and we move into the season of rest and reflection. This is the perfect time to equip yourself with tools to navigate and appreciate the perpetual grey of the oncoming winter. You will explore movement in daily yoga classes, explore your mind with daily meditation sessions and learn about your energy with the help of our herd of horses. The program will lift your spirit and leave you feeling inspired and ready for winter 🧡🍁🍂
