8 Day Soil & Sea Adventure Retreat in the Azores, Portugal

The Soil & Sea Experience is not just a retreat; it's a way of living that we are passionate about sharing. Nestled on the lush island of São Miguel, our program is designed for those who want to learn about permaculture and regenerative living while having salty water in their veins. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced adventurer, this week offers a perfect balance of education, adventure, and relaxation. You'll stay in our unique self-built, solar-powered stone cottages, surrounded by the farm's gardens, orchards, and natural beauty. Each day brings a new opportunity to engage with the environment, from collecting eggs for breakfast to surfing the Atlantic swells. The retreat is limited to a small group of four, ensuring personalized attention and a strong sense of community. Our philosophy is simple: live sustainably, connect with nature, and enjoy life's simple pleasures. As part of our commitment to the planet, we donate to the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society on your behalf. This is more than a holiday; it's a chance to rediscover a simpler, more meaningful way of living.
