Off-screen time
A very important element of your retreat is that you have the liberty to step away from your screen directly into nature at any time. No travel time, no traffic jams, just grab your coat and walking boots and head out. Clear your head by walking through the mountains, by getting your hands dirty in the garden or by doing some physical intens work on the farm. Experience deep and relaxed sleep after being physical tired after a days of purposeful activities.
Nature walks
Step out of your apartment and into the heart of nature, no travel time needed, as Starbase18 is nestled within the Serra da Estrela nature park.
Explore countless trails at your own pace: discover your own path or choose from curated routes on our website.
Walk alone for quiet reflection, bring your dog for companionship, or join others to share the experience.
Nature walks are an important part of our professional retreat program, designed to help you clear your mind, recharge your energy, and find renewed focus.
Dirty hands, clear mind
Working in the garden is more than just a random activity, it’s a way to literally and figuratively ground yourself.
Feel the soil between your fingers as you reconnect with the earth, letting go of mental clutter and regaining control.
Learn practical skills like growing your own food while finding calm and clarity in the rhythm of nature.
This hands-on experience is a part of our professional retreat program, designed to help you reset and refocus.
Shepherd walk
Experience a totally different life as you challenge yourself to adapt to the shepherd’s rhythm.
Listen to the gentle bells of sheep and goats, observe their interactions, and notice the differences between these curious animals.
Hear the birdsong and grasshoppers around you, feel the sun warming your skin, and stay mindful to keep the goats from nibbling our baby trees.
This immersive walk offers a unique chance to slow down, reconnect with nature, and gain fresh perspective.
