Walking with the waves

May 8th-12th 2024

A coastal exploration, which shows you magical places through the eyes of locals

from Ericeira to Sintra

**“Only where you’ve walked, have you truly been.”**

Whether you love strolling and hiking or want to try something new in the New Year, join us along the Portuguese coast. Get to know the area and unique natural places.

What exactly is walking with the waves? A 5-day time out, combining the best things of a retreat and walking. Each day starts with yoga, meditation, and brunch, followed by a 4-5 hour tour along the Portuguese coast. The tour begins in Ericeira and ends in Sintra.

However, the tour is not just about walking, but also about learning – or especially learning.

Our guides live permaculture from the depths of their heart and are either born in Portugal or call Portugal their home for a long time, taking care of mother nature and their piece of land in the most sustainable way possible. They share their mindful, minimalist lifestyle with you and impart knowledge about plants, permaculture, sustainability, and everything else that goes along with it. Throughout it all, fun is always a priority.

The Team:

Joao and Anne, our guides, accompany you on your journey. They are a long-standing team and truly live in harmony with nature. Trained in permaculture, art, naturopathy, and with over 40 years of life experience, they share their incredible wealth of knowledge with you. You will learn about concepts of sustainable tourism, local flora and fauna, and definitely gain a new perspective.

Ali is a yoga teacher, mental trainer, and founder of Wurzelwerkstatt retreats. She holds space for you, leads daily yoga and meditation sessions, and is there to provide support. Additionally, she is the contact person for all organizational matters.

Tim, our ayurvedic chef, is nourishing us with delicious vegan soul food. His international experience and his personal journey is inspiring us, since we met him the first time. His unique vibe and friendly character is an add-on for everyone around.

Requirements: You should have a certain basic level of fitness, but you don’t need to be an athlete. Important are good footwear and weather-resistant equipment. In case of doubt, please consult with a doctor to confirm whether you can participate in our event.

We are super happy that our concept becomes reality. Our accomodations are booked and we will stay 2 nights in Saone Guesthouse & 2 nights in Eugaria Country House. Contact us for further details.
