What there will be....

We fell in love with Três Marias for its perfect marriage of comfort, quality, and simplicity. This country guesthouse is situated in the pristine natural landscape of Southwest Portugal, far from any bustle. It is designed so that guests can easily unplug and unwind in an eco-luxury setting.

We found a chef passionate about preparing vegetarian meals from the best local sources. We will feel nourished, clean and well-supported for our daily activities.
Meal service will include early morning beverages and fruit, breakfast, a packed picnic lunch, and a wholesome dinner.

About your guides, Caitilin Twain and Marcia Gomide
Caitilin Twain is a holistic health coach, bodyworker, and yoga teacher. She specializes in helping her clients heal from illness or injury and getting them to fitness levels they thought they'd never enjoy again. Her unique teaching style is the result of her own battle with chronic Lyme Disease and a thyroid disorder. She teaches the potent healing practices of myofascial release, breathwork, and yoga-based movement to leave you physically and mentally aligned with your greatest potential.
Márcia Gomide is a student and teacher of Dharma. Through her years of practice and study of Tibetan Buddhism and meditation, she is particularly interested in the recognition that everyone's true nature is peaceful and only inner peace brings happiness. She has been guiding meditation in different settings for several years training people to find their source of happiness within.
"When Caitilin worked with me I could see what I needed to do, how to go about it, and how much more there is ahead. I’m 51, and I feel stronger and more vibrant than I did 15 years ago."
- VD
"Caitilin’s healing power extends beyond her knowledge of anatomy—she is kindness and patience incarnate, an incomparable positive and encouraging presence. There is no better guide for your journey to self-healing."
- EW
"Caitilin’s fierce compassion and dedication are unparalleled. It is so much more than yoga. I have done many types of one on one sessions and I have never found someone so grounded, so present, and powerfully knowledgeable as I have found in Caitilin."
