The easiest way is to get a flight to Lisbon, Portugal (LIS). The retreat price includes the pick-up from the airport, so you don’t have to worry about organizing transport.

If cancelled up to three weeks prior to the retreat's beginning, we refund 100% excluding the booking and management fee of 150€. The booking and management fee can be used as a credit for another retreat, workshop or coaching at any time in the future. If cancelled up to two days before the retreat's beginning, we will unfortunately need to retain 50% of the overall retreat value, as expenses will have occurred. If cancelled less than two days before the retreat or if there is a no-show, we retain the full amount of the overall retreat value.
To reserve your spot, we kindly ask for a deposit of 50%. The other 50% is to be paid until two days prior to the retreat’s beginning. Please contact us for more detail on payment and cancellation policies.
