The Accommodation

Rooster-Portugal-yoga-and-wellness-retreat-2022-Holistic-Soul-Project

Located in the mountains of southern Portugal, just 20 minutes from the coast, Bodhi Bhavan was created with the intention for the visitor to find ground, to dwell and be at home in their own true wisdom. 

 

Bodhi and Bhavan are both Sanskrit words reflecting the purpose of the place. Bodhi means the illuminated, enlightened or awakened mind. The Buddha attained enlightenment under a Bodhi Tree, a sacred fig tree. Bodhi also refers to the perfect knowledge, truth or wisdom.
 

The word Bhavan is reflecting some of the key qualities of our place and ground. Bhavan derives from Bhavana which means home or residence as well as ground and dwelling. It also translates into existence, a place where something grows. It signifies to imagine something, bringing something into existence and teaching.
 

Bhodi Bhavan was created with the intention for the visitor to find grounding, to dwell and be at home in their true inherent wisdom.

The residence is fully renovated providing 8 charming and simple double rooms, a living room, kitchen and terrace. Every bedroom has a bathroom ensuite.

The 6 hectare (15 acres) ground amazes with it’s natural stone terraces from old agricultural times, large shading trees, and stone boulders. It feels very spacious and has enough corners to be by yourself.

What's unique about this retreat?

Holistic Soul Project offers a truly complete experience. We offer opportunities for profound transformation (physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually), while also providing spaciousness for your own processing and time to yourself or to enjoy your retreat companions.

While meditation and yoga are included in the retreat and form a significant part of the daily structure, we feel that the additional offerings of nutrition, astrology, hypnotherapy, bodywork and massage truly make our Portugal retreat, and all of our retreats, make this experience truly next level.
