Travel to the lush hills just outside of Lisbon for Cave of the Heart, a connective retreat with your Zion Well community, set in the enchanting landscape of Sintra, Portugal. Surrounded by misty forests, ancient palaces, and winding stone paths, this retreat is an invitation to explore both the outer world and the inner chambers of the heart.

Each day begins with yoga and meditation in our retreat home’s dedicated studio, guided by Zion founders. Whether you’re a longtime practitioner or new to the mat, these practices are designed to help you soften, listen, and return to yourself. Between sessions, there is generous space to rest—by the pool, in quiet corners of the home, or wandering the gardens and surrounding nature.

We’ll experience Portugal through presence and curiosity: a hands-on cooking class celebrating local flavors, day trips to the coast for beach time and ocean air, and immersive explorations of Sintra’s iconic palaces and castles—places rich with history, symbolism, and beauty. We’ll also spend time in Lisbon, soaking in the culture, neighborhoods, and rhythm of the city, offering a balance of reflection and adventure.

Cave of the Heart is about creating space—to slow down, to feel, to wander, and to reconnect with what feels true. Held by nature, history, and community, this retreat is an opportunity to step out of routine and into a more intentional way of being.
