Practical details..
Please be aware this is not a luxury retreat / pampering experience , this is a pilgrimage to a wild and sacred nature sanctuary with very basic amenities.
The land and surroundings are very hilly and mountainous.
This pilgrimage is financially available to everyone and is not being done with business / commercial motives , its for the community be together in the beloved heart.
We will be camping / glamping on the land and using a compost toilet, we have a hot gas powered shower ( using spring water ) and very basic kitchen set up .
The money pay will go toward the Sanctuary , Jason , Hannahs and eartha costs and our hire costs of the glamping company. (unless you bring your own camping equipment of course)
The sanctuary is spread over on 2 hectares of private land surround by only wild nature.
The practices will out in the nature as well as in our shala .
Accommodation is in Glamping bell tents or in your own tent if you wish to bring that.
Bell tents have beds and bedding
Food
To keep the cost down and make this financially available to everyone we are not hiring a full-time cook but we will have one delicious vegetarian cooked lunch cooked for us per day by our local retreat chef .
We will be responsible for our own snacks and our second meal each day most likely we will all cook together for that second meal of course teas and biccys will be supplied and available to make any time. Portugal has very good fruit available so it's good if we have fruit breakfast altogether. But just to be very clear the cost and buying of supplies outside the one meal a day is each participants responsibility, but of course Jason will help with shopping when it's needed.
Jason will help with getting supplies from the local town so will not need to think going off site and arranging shopping but if you are driving it would be best to arrive with the supplies you need for the first few days at least. If you coming with your own camping stuff and not driving then we can get your food supplies sorted for you .

Please carefully consider all the above before deciding if its right for you.
