The Pause
A Mindful Movement Retreat
October 14th - 19th 2025
The Pause
The Pause is a 5-night mindfulness and movement retreat nestled away in a tranquil valley of the Portuguese mountains. It is a chance to step out of the daily hustle, slow down to your natural rhythm and find the space to just be. This is a dedicated space for those in need of rest, recuperation, and reconnection to explore their practice with experienced teachers, connect with likeminded souls and take the much needed time they need from their busy lives to just be.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
At The Pause, we will be surrounded by the untouched beauty of the mountains, where silence speaks and stillness heals. This retreat invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with your natural pace through meditation, workshops, yoga, nourishing food with shared souls. Here, you can take the time you lack in your day-to-day life to enjoy the sun on your skin, the sound of birds singing, and the passing of Milky Way night sky overhead.
The Pause is a chance to step out of the daily hustle, slow down to your natural rhythm, and find the space to just be. Nestled in the heart of the Monchique mountains - where silence speaks and stillness heals - The Pause is the place for you to return to the pace you have forgotten, connect as a community, and remember your true nature.
