Important note: Portugal can be quite warm in summer. While our mountain locations are cooler than Lisbon, a heatwave during retreat week may require us to adjust some add-ons. The good news: all indoor spaces have air-conditioning. With opportunities to swim in the refreshing pool day and night, you can stay cool even in the warmest weather. If you are looking forward to hiking or other activities outside the retreat center, please prepare for possible heat with hats, appropriate clothing, sunblock, plenty of water, electrolytes, etc. On rare occasions, hikes are canceled because of excessive heat.
