Farm-to-Plate
Weekend Escapes
3-Day Plant-Based Detox Flow & Recharge Retreat
Upcoming: 3 to 5 of October 2025
Step into autumn with intention, energy, and a deep connection to yourself in the serene beauty of Santa Clara Lake. Nestled where the Mira and Torto rivers meet, these transformational weekend retreats offer more than just a detox—they invite you on a holistic journey of self-care. Release what no longer serves you, replenish your vitality, and rediscover balance in body, mind, and soul, all while surrounded by nature’s harmony and the tranquil waters of this enchanting lakeside sanctuary.
Why plant based?
Because food is medicine, and the earth provides everything we need to thrive. Our vibrant, plant-based meals are crafted from ingredients freshly harvested from our agro forest project - rich in nutrients that help:
Release toxins and reduce inflammation naturally
Replenish energy, leaving you feeling light and vibrant
Honour the amazing nutritional diversity of mother nature
This food reflects true sustainability, with “no carbon footprint”, celebrating the nutritional heritage of this agro bio-region. Every ingredient, a gift from Mother Nature, is at the heart of our menu. With each bite, you’ll taste the harmony of nature and nourishment, along with its medicinal and nutritional benefits.
This is Ayurveda, reimagined and beautifully rooted in Portugal’s fertile soils—a blend of ancient wisdom and the land’s natural rhythms.
Nourish. Heal. Thrive.
Your retreat experience goes far beyond the plate—it’s a journey to nourish your body, mind, and soul through nature’s wisdom and mindful practices.
Our seed-to-soul program integrates:
Mindful yoga and movement to build strength, flexibility, and inner harmony.
Guided breathwork, meditation, and intention-setting to restore balance and clarity.
A special opportunity for each participant to plant a tree, contributing to the reforestation of the earth and leaving a lasting legacy of renewal.
Immerse yourself in nourishing practices, soulful rituals, and wholesome meals that help your body thrive. Set in a starlight destination, this retreat blends the vitality of summer with the magic of the night sky, inspiring growth and transformation.
