5 jours bien-être Kūḻā à Alentejo, Portugal
Soul-nourishing Wellness Retreat in Portugal
This October, join Charli Van Ness at Neos.life, an off-grid sanctuary in the heart of Portugal, for 5 days of soul nourishment and deep connection. Located within 1000 acres of Alentejo nature, perfectly located 75 minutes outside of Lisbon. “Kula” means community — and here, surrounded by wild forests, open skies, and nourishing earth, you’ll remember what it means to belong. Through yoga, movement, breathwork, meditation, sound energy medicine, and conscious creative activities, you’ll tune into the rhythms of the land and the wisdom of your bodies. You’ll leave grounded, recharged, and more deeply connected — to yourself, to others, and nature.

The area
In the timeless landscape of Alentejo, where birdsong, immaculate starry skies, oak and pine trees, vineyards, olive groves, and orange orchards are woven together with ancient sundrenched white villages and castle ruins, it is easy to forget who you were, in the profound silence and presence of pure poetic being.
This region is recognized for fine wines and cultural gastronomy, a reverence for community, environmental sustainability, and heritage - for instance, World Heritage (Elvas and Évora) and Cultural Intangible Heritage of Humanity (Cante Alentejo), and UNESCO Biosphere Reserve (Castro Verde).
Inspiring artists and writers, Alentejo is a land of purity, light, wholeness, and minimalist beauty - values that precisely align with neoslife’s ethos of a new way of being.
