Personal Development + Wellbeing - Our Programs

Learn, grow, and nurture wellbeing

We help you identify your goals and build the skills to get there.

What are Personal Development and Wellbeing?

Personal development refers to how we want to grow as a person and the objectives we set to become more fulfilled. It is a lifelong process of self-improvement in areas such as self-awareness, self-love and compassion, raising confidence, building resilience, becoming better at communicating, nurturing more fulfilling relationships, or any other skills and qualities that are important to you.

Personal growth can foster greater wellbeing. If our emotional, mental, or physical wellbeing is lacking it can limit our ability to show up in life for ourselves and the people that are important to us. It can also hold us back and make us struggle to achieve the personal and professional goals that matter most to us.

No matter what your goals are, New Life Portugal is the perfect place to start taking steps towards achieving them. Get in touch to let us know where you want to be in your life, and we can start talking about how to get you there.

Which Path is Right for You?

Our Resilience Path

Work with a professional counsellor to identify what’s missing and what you’re really longing for. Take the time to build up tools and resources for helping you fulfil your potential. Be supported in your efforts with daily practice sessions and stimulating workshops and group activities. Transform your life and nurture truly sustainable wellbeing with a full holistic reset.

Our Wellness Path

If you already have a sense of what you’d like to achieve but would like some practical guidance on how to get there, our life coaches and somatic trainers will help you reach your goals with a customised plan and targeted one-on-one sessions. You’ll also be able to focus on self-care and relaxation with outdoor activities, nature excursions, and full use of our excellent wellness facilities.

Our Rest + Rejuvenate Path

Take a week to relax and immerse yourself in everything that our mindful community has to offer. Join daily mindfulness, yoga, and meditation sessions and nurture personal growth through group activities and workshops. Therapeutic massage, sauna, healthy food, and reconnecting with nature round out your perfect refreshing getaway.

How can New Life help?

You’ll have access to a wide range of self-development resources all in once place, including group yoga, meditation, and mindfulness classes, evening activities for relaxation and peer support, workshops and retreats facilitated by trained instructors, and one-on-one sessions with counsellors, life coaches, and somatic specialists.
We'll support your personal growth with useful topics such as ‘Meaningful Belonging and Values’, ‘Flexibility and Perspective’, 'Transitions', ‘Forgiveness and Compassion’, ‘Boundaries and Relationships’, ‘Emotional Regulation’, and ‘Everyday Mindfulness’ in our workshops and community themes of the week.
Our contemplative retreat environment, nature-based outdoor and relaxation activities, and excellent wellness facilities will help you slow down, listen deeply, and pay attention to what you really want to improve in your life, while our programming can help guide you towards the steps you need to take to achieve your goals.
Get even more out of the time you're investing in your wellbeing by booking your stay to coincide with our monthly weekend retreats or in-house half-day retreats focusing on self-compassion, meditation, yoga, art therapy, bodywork, breathwork, mindfulness, insight dialogue, and more.

I came to New Life because I’ve been trying to come to terms with issues in my personal and professional life. I am leaving now with a number of tools I can use in my daily life. I am very grateful for having been here and being part of a great community.
