Ritual & Interbeing Retreat

'Deep Time' ritual for the flourishing of all life

19 to 22 Nov 2026· 3 nightsNeos Center, Alentejo, Portugal

Ritual re-connects and honours life

This retreat is for those who feel deeply touched by the beauty of our living Earth as well as by the pain of our times. Are you seeking ways to remain present, connected and engaged in these disruptive times? We call those who are engaged in a personal or collective process of transformation and feel drawn to explore the healing and transformative power of ritual.

This is for anyone who feels a longing to listen more deeply, honour what matters, and renew energy to continue the work.

Are you holding pain for the Earth? Fear, anger, loss? This journey welcomes you.

Re-member the power of ritual

Ritual creates a liminal space: a threshold between what was and what is yet to come. It gives us permission to slow down, to honour what is present, and to create space for something new to emerge.

It also offers space for connection: between ourselves and the more-than-human world, between the visible and the invisible, between our individual lives and something much larger than ourselves. Through ritual, we can remember that we are part of a living web of relationship: human, more-than-human, ancestral and cosmic.

Dropping into Deep Time

Together, we will also enter into a wider sense of time. Beyond the concerns of the present moment, we will listen towards those who came before us and those who will come after us, touching a story that extends far beyond our individual lives.
