Welcome to the Forest
Vale de Moses is a remote Retreat nestled in the forested mountain valleys of Central Portugal.
We are organic beings whose quality of life is dependent on a myriad of entangled ecosystems that mutually nourish the environments where we live. We are curious about all the ways that living in nature support our health and well-being. Feeling safe here, invites us to become more sensitive to the nature of sensations happening in our bodies. Sensations that aren’t just an expression of being human, they are expressions of the earth herself encapsulated in the dna of every one of our cells. We are able to feel part of the wholeness. That we belong.
In our own spacious silence, we meet the infinitely capacious silence beyond our own.
Practicing in a space floating above the landscape. Gathering around a fire pit to share stories with others. Sweating in the lodge and cooling off in cascading river pools. Resting our spirits in hammocks serenaded by the symphony of waterfalls, birdsong and breeze whistling the leaves. Wandering moss-lined river paths to old flour mills where those who have been before us can still be felt, seen, heard, remembered. Returning to the medicine of home-cooked food to feed the microbiome in our bellies responsible for our existence. And sleeping deeply beneath the stars in rustic stone cottages made of mountain, or belle tents in the shade of strawberry fruit trees.
Our vital energy is dependent on the wellness of all beings.
May all beings be happy, healthy and free.
