Testimonials:

"2020 was my third year running on beloved Debbie's Portugal retreat... As on the previous retreats we were all so lovingly held and cared for in every way. Warm, inviting and healing. With an airport pickup then driven to a most beautiful villa in delightful Salema. In the villa there is plenty of space to be with company or not. Sit by the pool or explore the tranquil garden... Each day a different programme is displayed, this I appreciated , moving through the day with ease... Always a heartwarming start to the day with meditation, sometimes on the beach. Yum... Yoga, satsangs, dance or song. All so very beautiful, alive and fresh...Trips out and about were varied and interesting and fun...Occasionally eating out. Indeed the last restaurant we visited on the beach, we saw dolphins. What a joy. Our food which is lovingly prepared at the villa was always truely delicious, healthy and wholesome..Spoilt actually...I can recommend this retreat with a full thankful heart...Enjoy." ~ J

"I have enjoyed two wonderful retreats with Debbie and as soon as Portugal is mentioned or seen it takes me straight back there, such are the lasting feelings and memories of this time and space.  From the moment you land in Portugal you are embraced. Everything is prepared with love, from the delicious food to the varied itinerary. Debbie's yoga is a gift she shares effortlessly and is expertly sewn into this truly holistic time. If you are reading this I feel you may soon be experiencing this retreat. I highly recommend it." ~ D
