Abhyanga: Ayurvedic Massage Training Retreat (Sesimbra, Portugal) 2027

Description

May 12th – 19th, 2027, Sesimbra, Portugal

This time, the training comes with the sea. A coastal farmhouse above the Atlantic, a breathtaking 180-degree ocean view, and eight days of Ayurvedic massage training to let this craft settle into your hands.

Here the training and the retreat are one. Where you sleep, what you eat, how you are held, all of it is taken care of. You arrive with your willingness to learn, and nothing else to manage.
