(re)connect Family Nature Gathering

Upcoming Retreat

A slow, magical space for families to ground, share & play. Kids program, yoga, adventures, cacao ceremony, sharing & singing circles, sauna, vegan meals and lots of fun.

Essência Shala, Aljezur, Portugal

In a world that moves so quickly, there is a quiet magic in coming together and reconnecting.

Dear Parents and Kids,

🦋 We warmly invite you to become a part of our Family Nature Gathering in Essência where we live together with our children between hills, gardens and a mystical forest close to the most magnificent beaches of the Algarve, Portugal.

🌻 From the 16.9.26 - 20.9.26 we come together to (re)connect to ourselves, other parents and kids, the earth and the power of the tribe.

🦋 (re)connect is a space to experience the support of each other when we accompany our children on their path. It is a space where we breathe, share, care and play together.

🌻 Every day we create a loving and inspiring program to feel our hearts, roots and creativity. It will be a slow and spacious flow of the day to ground and interact with the magical nature around us.

🛖 Stay in one of our Glamping tents, your own Camper Van or tent or in one of our rooms in the Farmhouse.
