Retiro do Bosque

Sintra lends Retiro do Bosque a distinctive setting for a retreat, while the center’s name evokes the quiet and nature-led atmosphere suggested by its identity.

The teaching tradition, daily program, and format can vary, so look closely at the dates and retreat description before deciding if it suits you. The center operates on a paid basis, with prices and inclusions to check for the program you choose. Accommodation, meals, and the level of silence are also useful details to confirm ahead of time.
