THE THRESHOLD
A practitioner preview weekend and a public autumn retreat
The Threshold weekends at Limiar bring together immersive sound, guided encounters with the land, shared food, small-group connection and time that is genuinely your own.
Autumn 2026 opens with two distinct weekends. The first, at the end of September, is a Practitioner Preview Weekend for yoga teachers, sound practitioners and holistic facilitators. The second, at the end of October, is Into the Quiet, our public residential retreat.
The different elements are intentionally allowed to work together: your own place to withdraw, personal hospitality, walks among cork oaks, listening beside the river, simple meals around one table, carefully prepared sound experiences and long stretches in which nothing is required of you.
People often come to Limiar looking for quiet. What surprises them is how quickly the place, the welcome and the slower rhythm begin to change the quality of their attention.
Come for the quiet. Discover the place, the care and the depth behind it.
PRACTITIONER PREVIEW WEEKEND
25–27 September 2026

You hold space for others. This weekend is for you.
A three-day retreat at Limiar for practitioners, teachers and facilitators. Come as a guest, rest, experience the place and discover what you might one day create here with your own community.
Sound journeys, nature, shared meals and genuine time to slow down — with optional space to explore future retreats or collaborations.
Come as a guest. Rest. See what becomes possible.
INTO THE QUIET
30 October – 1 November 2026
- LATE AUTUMN EDITION
- 2 NIGHTS / 3 DAYS
- MAXIMUM 8 PARTICIPANTS
Over three days, sound journeys, time in nature, shared meals and simple moments of stillness create space to rest, listen and let the pace of ordinary life fall away.
Held at the threshold between October and November, the weekend carries the atmosphere of late autumn: warmth by the fire, darkening skies, quieter mornings and the closeness of a small group.
There is nothing to achieve and nowhere to perform. Only time to soften into silence, reconnect with the body and make room for what wants to emerge before winter.
Follow the season inward. Rest, listen and return to what matters.
Arrival on Friday from 17:00. Departure on Sunday at approximately 16:00. Accommodation, all meals and guided experiences are included.
A spacious weekend rhythm
FRIDAY — ARRIVING
Arrival and time to settle into your accommodation.
Shared dinner, an informal welcome and a gentle opening sound immersion.
Nothing demanding is scheduled on the first evening. The purpose is simply to arrive.
SATURDAY — LISTENING AND DEEP REST
A slow breakfast followed by an Art of Noticing experience on the land, using sensory awareness, active listening and simple encounters with the natural environment.
Shared lunch and genuine unstructured time for rest, reading, walking, sleeping, using the mini-jacuzzi when available, or doing nothing.
Later in the afternoon, a Forest Council: a simple listening circle held by the river, on the land or around the fire, according to the weather.
After dinner, an extended Sound Journey using gongs, crystal singing bowls, tuning forks and other acoustic instruments.
SUNDAY — RETURNING
A gentle body-based awakening practice, breakfast and a final integration walk or nature experience.
Shared lunch, closing circle and departure during the afternoon.
The programme may move between the forest, river, activity barn and fireside according to the season and weather. Its rhythm will remain intentionally spacious.
