Let the noise fall away and make space for what has been quietly asking for your attention. This solo retreat creates five days for slowing down, reflection, and reconnecting with your own rhythm through mindfulness, creativity, and time in nature. It is suited to moments when you want to pause, reflect, or gain a fresh perspective on what feels meaningful and alive.

Set on Faial Island in the Azores, the retreat unfolds between lush forests, volcanic landscapes, and the Atlantic Ocean. The programme gradually moves from setting a personal intention to creative journaling, mindful walking, forest bathing, meditation, breathwork, and creative self-expression. A hike to the Caldeira of Faial or along the levadas adds time in the island’s natural surroundings, while moments of reflection help you listen to your own inner landscape.

The retreat has a gentle structure while remaining highly individual, with space to follow your own rhythm and intentions. A choice of accommodation is available to suit your preferences. Give yourself time to pause, reconnect, and listen to what matters to you.

Since the beginning in the team, I am the man who manages all topics around the horses, guides and riders. Whenever possible I guide our guest on trails.

Our Ecolodge on Faial Island is the Azores Horse-Lovers Paradise. The place where Trail-Riders, Nature and Island-Enthusiasts from all over the world are coming together.

Our Ecolodge is the home of our Lusitano and Cruzado Portuguese Horses. They are living the whole year outside on evergreen meadows. This is the place to enjoy country and island life.

From the Ecolodge you have an endless view over the Atlantic Ocean, to gently sloping hills and to the 2,350 m high volcano of Pico. Quite close you see the neighbor islands of São Jorge and Graciosa.

We provide 365 days of endless Island Horse Adventures.
