Arrive early. Unplug. Prepare your heart.
Begin your retreat before it begins.
The Full Experience is a gentle and intentional beginning. You’ll arrive early and spend your first two days at Quinta São José do Barrilário, set apart for stillness, detox, and personal reset before joining the wider retreat.
This is not about doing more, but about making room; room to listen, to pray, to reflect, and to be with God without interruption.
Through simple rhythms and a thoughtfully guided solo experience, these days lay a quiet foundation. So when the retreat begins, you’re not catching up, you’re already anchored.
From this place, you’ll step in grounded, open, and ready to fully receive all that lies ahead.
