Natural Healing HeartsWhat this is
One place, three threads, and you choose the weave.
Wake surrounded by the wild beauty of the Alentejo, in a place that quietly insists you slow down. The horses set the rhythm of the days, the land holds you, and everything else is yours to choose: the sessions you need, the practices you have been curious about, the artists you would like to make something with.
No two stays here look alike, and that is the point. You tell me the length and what you are drawn to, we talk it through, and I shape the days around it.
The horses
A small herd who will meet you exactly where you are. Feeding them is part of every morning; the deeper work with them is yours to add.
The holistic work
Every day opens with meditation, breathwork and Qi Gong together, part of every stay. The deeper 1:1 energy work is yours to add, held in the open rather than in a treatment room.
The creative practice
Artists from the Ripple Foundation come to the farm for your stay: photography with the horses, cacao and sound, collage, art therapy, and totems built from what the land gives you.
What you will get
What you leave with
Whatever shape your stay takes, this is the work underneath it.
- Tools, during and after your stay, to keep a healthy balance and look after your wellbeing
- Reconnection with your true self
- Release of dense energy, and of the emotions underneath it
- Release of the old story that keeps you stuck, and the next steps for your journey forward
- Reconnection with nature and animals, and a nervous system that has finally relaxed
Design it yourself
Build your stay
Every stay starts as the three-night journey. From there, choose how long to stay, where to sleep, and what else you would like to do. The total updates as you go, and nothing is booked until we have spoken.
Every stay starts here
The three-night journey
€888
Four days on the farm, three nights, and the three sessions that do the real work, held one a day so each has somewhere to land. You arrive, you meet the herd, and you leave having actually moved something.
- Horse Connection2 hours
- Navigation Session90 minutes
- Inner Balance Session90 minutes
- Deep Energetic Cleansing Ritual90 minutes
Plus 3 nights in the camper or caravan, all meals, and the morning practice every day.
Would you like longer than that?
Where would you like to sleep?
And the food, from day four?
The first three days are full board either way, inside the journey.
Every night, however long you stay
- Morning practice with Philine: meditation, breathwork and Qi Gong
- Feeding the horses, and time with them every day
- The land itself: open fields, cork oaks, dogs, and walks from the door
- Sunset tea in the meadow on the evenings that call for it
What would you like to add?
On top of the journey, and entirely optional. A stay with none of this added is still a full stay.
Two activities a day, morning and afternoon. Your 5 nights holds 10 of them and the journey uses 4, so you have 6 half days left.
With the horses
Horse Connection is already in your journey, and feeding them is part of every morning. These two go further. Both will invite us to look within, and transform what arises.
Holistic work with Philine
Your morning practice, meditation, breathwork and Qi Gong, runs every day and is already part of the stay. These are the deeper 1:1 sessions on top, the same ones offered on /sessions, held here with the land doing half the work.
Creative workshops
Making something is its own kind of medicine. Artists from the Ripple Foundation come to the farm for your stay, each holding their own workshop, for you rather than for a group. Which artists are around depends on the week, and that is what the call is for.
What it costs
Everything, and what it comes to
One price for the journey, then nights and food if you stay longer. Everything you can add is priced on its own card in the builder above. Per person, and nothing is charged until we have spoken and your dates are set.
The three-night journey
€888
Includes the four pieces of work above, three nights in the camper or caravan, all meals for those days, and the morning practice.
Nights beyond the third
- The camper or the caravan
- €88 a night
- A room in the house
- €133 a night
Sleeping in the house rather than the camper also adds the difference between the two rates for the first three nights.
Food beyond the third day
The first three days are full board either way. After that you choose: eat with us, or shop and cook for yourself at no extra cost.
- Eat with us
- €44 a day
- Cook for yourself
- No extra cost
The rhythm of your days
However long you stay, the days hold the same shape
Morning
- Meditation, breathwork and Qi Gong
- Feeding the horses
- Breakfast together
Middle of the day
- Your chosen practice of the day
- Lunch
- Or simply the shade, a book, and nothing at all
Afternoon
- A session, a workshop, or a long walk with a horse
- Time to let it land
- Dinner
Evening
- Tea in the meadow when the evening calls for it
- Fire, stars, sleep
Who it's for

- Your self esteem has taken a beating, and self doubt has the last word

Getting here
The farm
A quiet, off-grid farm at Lameiros, in the Alentejo, Portugal. Open land, cork oaks, long walks straight from the door, horses and dogs, and very little else.
