A playful retreat for kind creators
3 - 10 APRIL 2022, ARRÁBIDA NATURAL PARK
Join a group of 10 inspiring creators for an all-inclusive 7-night SlowCo retreat in stunning natural surroundings. Slow down to create more and welcome spring; relaxed, refreshed and re-energised.
Each day we'll be offering healthy, fun activities to bring you wellness, inspiration and joy. Outside of planned activities, you can also expect moments of child-like curiosity, spontaneous dancing and wonder. It’s the in-between bits and unexpected conversations where the magic really happens.
There will be time to focus on your own needs and support from a group of people as awesome as you. Workshops are led by both hosts and participants.
This spring retreat takes place in Arrábida Natural Park, only 45 mins south of Lisbon.
Slow Down

With nature, with others, and with yourself.
