What people say about Holistic Olive Branch
We created Holistic Olive Branch as a place to stop – somewhere to slow down, breathe and come back to yourself, in Gerês National Park, Northern Portugal.
These are the words people have shared with us. Every one of them means the world to us.
Olive Branch Retreat is a truly special experience.
The passion and genuine desire to help others find true relaxation and calm the mind is so apparent. From the moment you arrive, you can feel the care, thought and dedication that has gone into creating such a peaceful and welcoming environment.
In a world where life can feel so busy and overwhelming, Olive Branch gives you the opportunity to step away from the noise, slow down and simply breathe. The genuine care for each person and the desire to help them reconnect with themselves really shines through.
It is clear that this retreat has been created from the heart, by people who truly want to make a difference to others.
I would highly recommend Holistic Olive Branch to anyone who needs to press the pause button, quieten the mind and give themselves the time and space to truly relax. A beautiful and uplifting experience.
It was a surprise, being my first retreat. We went hiking locally and enjoyed the gardens. It’s very peaceful and therapeutic. I will join again when you hike São Bento.
I was pleasantly surprised how beautiful this place is — a hidden gem. Thank you for taking care of me and giving me the space I needed.
It was my first time experiencing Yin Yoga, and I was expecting it to be difficult. Thankfully it wasn’t. The setting was so quiet I fell asleep during the meditation.
