In October 2018 we held our first retreat in Portugal, in collaboration with Offline Portugal. It was the beginning of something that would bring us back again and again.

Geometry at the long table

We gathered at the long table on the shaded terrace, with paper, compasses, rulers and coloured pencils. Together with geometer Colin Power we drew circle after circle, and watched the patterns of sacred geometry appear on the page.

Circles on the deck

Outside, we sat in a circle on the wooden deck with the hills of Portugal all around. There was time to share, to ask the big questions, and to hold the shapes in our hands, like a little paper star tetrahedron, folded by hand.

New friends

By the end of the week, the strangers who had arrived had become a group of friends, dogs included.

We came back to Portugal for our 4D Yoga retreat in 2023. New retreats are being planned, starting with Sri Lanka. See where we gather next →
