FAQ’s
Will I need to bring extra spending money?
Besides travel to and from the retreat, this trip is almost completely all-inclusive. You may want to bring money for shopping and a couple of lunches that fall during our free time. Credit cards are accepted in most places. The local currency is Euro and there are ATM machines easily accessible around town. Otherwise, food and fun are covered!
Do I need a visa to visit Portugal?
Not if you are a US or Canadian citizen (from another non EU country, just reply with your info and I will find the answer for you). Your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond May.
Will I be able to easily navigate the town of Lagos on my own?
Absolutely! The house comes with its own app that is full of information about the area including local nightlife, beaches, how to get around, museums, etc. Calling a taxi, beyond our scheduled excursions, will be easy from the house. Plus, you could enjoy Lagos before the retreat starts or stay a little longer to see more of the area. There are plenty of lodging options.
Do I have to participate in all the activities?
This is your time to relax, learn and enjoy. All activities are optional but I think you will find them very accessible should you decide to participate. The morning yoga is appropriate for all levels. The group tours will accommodate all fitness levels and you may decide to take yourself on a self-guided hike around the cliffs or in town. Swim as you please in the beautiful pool or just relax under the sun in a chaise lounge. Workout or play tennis and golf at the 5-star resort next door.
Will there be wifi available?
Yes, this beautiful clifftop house comes with free high-speed WIFI for all guests and even includes an office where you can sneak in a little work if absolutely necessary.
Will I return tanned, relaxed and armed with the knowledge I need to be free of emotional baggage that has been preventing me from achieving my dreams?
YES, you will! With planned workshops, time to relax and healthy eating at your fingertips how could you not?
