— Find Your Direction · Hiking Retreat Portugal

Wild Coast. Find your Direction.
7 days on the Rota Vicentina

1.–7. October 2026 · 3 Spots Only

Seven days of hiking, surfing and coaching on Portugal’s wildest coast. For when you’ve lost your direction and want to find it again.

Only 3 spots. When they're gone, they're gone.

— The Retreat

Somewhere along the way,
you’ve lost yourself.

Maybe something shifted, a burnout, a breakup, a loss. Maybe it’s simply the quiet knowing that the way you’ve been living isn’t the way forward anymore. Either way, you’ve lost your sense of direction, and perhaps a bit of yourself along the way.

This Retreat isn’t about escaping your life for a week. It’s about finding your way back to a life that feels like yourself. Seven days on the Rota Vicentina to see clearly again: what matters, what’s noise, and what comes next.

This retreat is for people at a turning point who are done waiting, and ready to find their way forward.

— What to Expect

Three elements.
One shift.

The Rota Vicentina is not a backdrop. It’s an active part of the coaching process. The ocean, the cliffs, the physical challenge — all of it becomes material for the work.

Coaching Retreat Portugal

Hiking

The Rota Vicentina

50km along Europe’s wildest Atlantic coastline. Cliffs, beaches, cork forests. Moderate daily stages (10–15km) — this is not about performance, but about your way forward.

Outdoormind Journaling

1:1 Coaching

Based on Your Values

Regular 1:1 coaching, as well as group coaching sessions using the Systemic Coaching approach. We identify the patterns keeping you stuck and build a compass for what comes next.

Outdoormind Surf Retreat2

SURFING

Surf Day

One day in the water. No performance pressure, just a new challenge for you to conquer and an experience to make. Equipment & instruction included, no prior experience needed.

— Accommodation

Carefully selected
guesthouses & hotels.

Each night you stay in a handpicked guesthouse or boutique hotel with your own private room — from the cliffside Casa Vincentina to the poolside Casa da Courela. The accommodation is part of the experience, not just a place to sleep.

Breakfast included every day. Evenings at local restaurants along the coast. You carry your own backpack by design: this week, we will focus on what matters.

— Your Coach & Guide

I know this path. Because I walked it myself.

I spent years in demanding corporate roles with a growing sense that something was off. I kept changing the outside, the job, the company, again and again, until I understood the shift had to happen inside. Finding my way back took honesty, movement, and the right questions at the right time.

Today I guide people through exactly that kind of turning point. On this retreat I’m your coach, local guide and hiking companion, every step of the way.
