OVERVIEW
Grief is one of the most human experiences one will have and yet it is rarely given the space it deserves. Whether you are grieving a person, a place, an experience - it doesn't particularly matter. This retreat is open to all experiences of loss and transition.
The Mourning Retreat will give you space to integrate your grief alongside nature in an intentional way. Our aim is to give room to that which is often overlooked.
We will hold your grief experience through the breath, psycho-education, movement, nature, and group work. Hosted by Paço da Glória, you will be able to explore existential themes of death, grief, and life.
The first reference to the place dates back to 13th century, when Martinho Fernandes Vilarinho built a defensive tower on a hill overlooking the romantic Lima River valley. Rebuilt during the 18th century. Classified as a monument of Public Interest and with countless interesting stories.
