A retreat for anyone who wants to slow down and exhale. At its centre — tea ceremonies in the Chinese tradition, deep relaxation and an unhurried introduction to Madeira.
A retreat for anyone who wants to slow down, exhale and step out of the usual rhythm of life for a few days.
At the centre of the programme are tea ceremonies, unhurried lunches and an easy-paced exploration of Madeira. Expect a sauna in the forest, tea outdoors, walks around the island and time by the ocean.
We’ll drink a lot of tea, enjoy the quiet, discover the island without rushing, and leave plenty of room for rest and the simple pleasure of being in the moment.
There’s nowhere to hurry to here, nothing to achieve, no pressure to fit in as much as possible. The whole idea of the retreat is to let yourself slow down and truly rest.
Madeira, included
We'll discover Madeira without hurrying: tea outdoors, a sauna in the forest, walks around the island and time by the ocean. There's no need to fit in as much as possible — the island sets this slower rhythm on its own.


Practical questions
The tea ceremonies follow the Chinese tradition. We'll share more about the teas and who leads the ceremonies in the programme details.
The dates are provisional — we're planning around 24–28 March and will send exact dates with the programme details.
FAQ
No — it's a retreat built around tea ceremony, rest and an unhurried introduction to the island, not a plantation visit.
