The Wim Hof Method was created by Dutch athlete and motivational speaker, Wim Hof, through decades of self-exploration and scientific studies. It combines cold therapy, specialized breathing techniques, and willpower/commitment to provide potential benefits such as: increased energy, improved sleep, reduced stress levels, heightened focus and determination, and a stronger immune system. In this retreat, which is ideal for beginners through to experienced practitioners, certified Wim Hof Method instructor James Dawson will guide you through the three pillars of the Wim Hof Method and the science behind it. Join in relaxing meditation, yoga, and nature immersion sessions, nurture your body with healthy, whole foods, and feel fully rested and rejuvenated in comfortable ensuite rooms on our tranquil mountainside property.
Participants will learn the science behind the Wim Hof Method and experience the transformative benefits of the three pillars:
Breathwork: Learn the unique Wim Hof Method breathing technique for increasing your energy levels, reducing stress, and potentially boosting your immune system
Mindset/coaching work: Be guided step-by-step through effective techniques for strengthening determination, mental focus, willpower, and self-mastery
Cold therapy: Participate in cold exposure and ice bathing sessions led by a trained instructor. Studies have shown that these practices can reduce inflammation, improve sleep, increase energy levels, and speed up metabolism.
Retreat sessions will cover Wim Hof Method education, ice baths, natural cold exposure/swimming, breathwork, sharing circles, and group bonding exercises. You’ll be further reinvigorated with meditation, nature immersion, and yoga sessions. Enjoy our excellent wellness facilities including pool, sauna, and gym or our Wellness Menu of add-on options including massage therapy.
The retreat is suitable for complete beginners through to individuals who are already familiar with the Wim Hof Method, yoga, meditation, and other wellbeing practices taught in this course.
Join us for a long weekend of reconnecting with yourself, others, and nature. This retreat offers simple, effective techniques to help you tap into your full potential and inner resilience.
The retreat starts on the evening of Friday, 8th September, 2023, and ends on the afternoon of Sunday, 10th September, 2023. The retreat will be held at our secluded property in the mountains of the Serra da Estrela natural park, a certified UNESCO geopark and an important conservation and biodiversity site in Portugal.
You’ll stay in the comfort and privacy of an ensuite room in one of our beautifully remodeled quintas. For an even more unique experience, opt for a premium room with a terrace and breathtaking mountain and valley views.
Unwind in our brand new facilities including a sauna, heated pool, gym, dining hall, and lounge with library and fireplace. You’ll also feel nourished with balanced Portuguese and Mediterranean meals based on whole foods, lovingly prepared by our team of chefs.
The language of the retreat is English.
