Mothering the Mother Retreat
Mothering the Mother is a 4-day retreat created especially for mothers and babies, with gentle practices and the utmost attention to detail and the particular needs of mothers and babies.
The first years of motherhood can be very demanding.
A mother is the safe haven for her baby and is in constant giving of herself. This retreat was created to give the mothers the support and pamper they need. A mother needs to be mothered in order to have enough to give to her baby all the love and attention he needs.
Matrescence, the birth of a mother, is a deep transition in a woman’s life. With this retreat, we aim to give you emotional, physical support and tools to navigate and enjoy this beautiful period of your life.
A smooth immersion in motherhood, where mothers and babies are welcomed and supported, giving the mother time to dedicate herself while we support her so she can take care her of herself and the baby.

Staying in Hotel Casa da Amieira
A house to get away from the city, noise and confusion and have contact with the fauna and flora in their natural habitat. A natural setting, created by nature and shaped by the elements, where the fresh air, the wild aromas, the buzzing of insects and the calm rustle of vegetation touched by the wind live. A place that invites you to discover and experience the breadth and purity of the outside landscape, a space with everything you need to feel all the freedom and tranquility inside.
