High On Life

A retreat to choose Life
 

ALGARVE, PORTUGAL

NOVEMBER 9th – 14th 2025

You can arrive some days earlier 

And stay some days later 

A retreat to choose Life 

To remember what it feels like to truly love living.
 

Have these past months left you feeling stretched, depleted, or disconnected?
High On Life is your invitation to slow down, rest deeply, and let your nervous system unwind.

 

Join us in the wild beauty of Southwest Portugal, where ocean, cliffs, and stars become your sanctuary. In our sweet eco-village, you’ll be nourished — body, heart, and soul — through healing practices, joyous connection, and nature’s embrace.



WHAT AWAITS YOU

   •    Daily guided practices: meditation, yoga, breathwork, qigong
   •    Sacred circles: men, women & mixed sharing
   •    Chanting, sounding, & heart-warming song around the fire
   •    Movement & celebration: sunset dancing, laughter & love
   •    Tantra & sacred sexuality in a safe, aligned space
   •    Pranic nourishment & wholesome, vitality-focused food
   •    Spa under starlight, ocean beach trips, sauna & hot-tub
   •    And space to rest, journal, or simply be, if that’s what your soul needs

“Together we are on a Journey of Freedom & Love”

We met at the Earth Festival in Lausanne in 2018, it was Love at first sight and lot of sparkles.
Since they’ve became brighter, our relationship grew deeper and we’ve got married in the Summer of 2020.


NomadShala is our first baby born in 2019 from our ideas whom were making Love too. And lots of support of precious friends. A big baby of 90m3 and 5.5tons ready to welcome comfortably up to 44 guests in Nature.
 

Our common passion for Human full potential, freedom and all those fantastic self-development tools brought us to
create this space to share these precious sacred practices. Our dream is to co-create a harmonious life in community and participate to serve the upcoming conscious humanity, vibrant, awakened and happy!
