Lovely setting, great programming, and delightful companions. Only recommendation is to pack a headlamp for navigating hilly cobblestone paths in the dark.

It was an extraordinary adventure. Beautiful and spectacular scenery and resort where we stayed. Loved our group and unexpected love for all who participated. Jackie our fearless leader performed her duties with grace and charm. Will be sure to go on the next retreat.

Just an amazing experience. I absolutely loved this trip.

I did both my 200hr YTT and the Yin training through Hope Yoga. What an incredible experience! Jackie and Clare are so knowledgeable and their passion for yoga comes through in their teaching. I learned so much and cannot say enough good things about my experience!

The entire trip and retreat were absolutely lovely! Jackie did a wonderful job facilitating the experience and creating an environment where everyone felt comfortable enjoying the retreat in their own way. There was never any pressure to participate in activities, which I really appreciated. The accommodations and resort were beautiful, and the itinerary offered the perfect balance of activities, exploration, and downtime. Jackie also did a fantastic job making sure everything was thoughtfully planned and included, so we could simply relax and enjoy the experience. Portugal was the perfect destination for a retreat! I only have two small pieces of feedback for future retreats: Time in Porto: It would have been nice to have a day to explore Porto before heading to the resort. Physical activity considerations: It may be helpful to provide some information ahead of time about the physical demands of certain activities, such as walking on uneven terrain or climbing hills. This would allow participants with mobility limitations or medical concerns to better assess whether the activities are suitable for them. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I am so grateful to Jackie for putting together such a beautiful and memorable retreat!
