What's great about a Summer Solstice Retreat
Our Yoga Retreat June 2025 Combines the positive effects of yoga and practices with the energy of the season, a summer solstice holiday can be a singularly enlightening experience. What makes it unique is this:
Observing the Year's Longest Day
The longest day of the year, the summer solstice, represents light, vitality, and energy. Our week coordinates the activities with this potent natural occurrence, fostering an energetic and spiritual bond with the sun and the natural world.
Themes for the Seasons
The solstice is frequently linked to ideas of expansion, rebirth, and plenty. These topics are commonly incorporated into yoga classes, meditations, and workshops at our retreat during this period, which promote goal-setting and personal growth.
Outdoor Activities
Our center is set in the beautiful natural mountain ranges of the Serra Da Estrela (mountain of the stars) in our forested valley which is a great location for a summer solstice retreat. The sensation is amplified and the sense of connection to nature is strengthened when yoga is practiced outside in the sun.
Unique Rituals for the Solstice
In order to acknowledge the changing of the seasons and make plans for the upcoming months we will have a night of many solstice-specific rituals, such as guided meditations, cacao ceremony, fire ceremonies, and gong baths.

Connection and Community
Participating in a major cosmic event with a group of like-minded people strengthens bonds with oneself and others by fostering a sense of community and shared purpose.
Holistic Wellness
We combine yoga with other wellness practices like sound healing, yin & Somatic yoga, allowing for rejuvenation and balance.
Recharging Energy
The solstice is a time of peak solar energy, and many believe it’s the perfect opportunity to recharge physically, mentally, and spiritually.
A Unique Perspective
Experiencing a solstice retreat can help shift perspectives by pausing the usual routine and immersing oneself in practices and self-care, creating lasting inspiration even after the retreat ends.
The week is a great way to practice yoga in a serene and peaceful environment. It is a time to disconnect from technology and distractions and immerse yourself in the practice of yoga. You will have the opportunity to deepen your practice, learn new techniques, and become more mindful in your daily life.
June is the perfect month for a yoga retreat. The weather is warm, the days are long, and nature is in full bloom. Our yoga retreats take place in a beautiful natural setting, with mountains, forests and tracks and alsp a swimming pool. You can relax and renew your mind, body, and spirit while enjoying the scenic views and fresh air.
Our retreat is for both beginners and experienced practitioners. You will have the opportunity to deepen your practice, learn from senior teachers Sue & Peter, and connect with like-minded people. You will also have the space to reflect on your life and set intentions for the future.
