Why Teach at Terra Verde?

At Terra Verde, we believe a powerful retreat begins with a space that supports your vision—both practically and emotionally.

Nestled in a lush, unspoiled valley in Central Portugal, our venue brings together natural beauty, thoughtful design, and attentive service to help you create something truly meaningful.

Whether you’re an experienced facilitator or planning your very first workshop, Terra Verde offers everything you need to deliver an enriching, seamless experience for your guests.

Inspiring Spaces for Every Style of Teaching

From sun-dappled outdoor platforms to elegant rooms full of natural light, Terra Verde offers a wide range of teaching spaces designed to adapt to your unique flow.

Whether you’re guiding movement, holding intimate discussions, leading a creative workshop, or hosting a structured seminar, you’ll find spaces that are both versatile and full of atmosphere.

Indoors, you’ll discover rooms that range from calm and refined to rustic and creative. Outdoors, nature becomes your co-facilitator, with forest platforms, open meadows, and hidden garden corners ready to host anything from sunrise yoga to fireside storytelling.

Every space is thoughtfully prepared to enhance the work you do.

High-Quality Accommodation for Your Guests

Your participants deserve to feel cared for—and our rooms reflect just that. Each one is uniquely designed, blending the charm of a 19th-century country home with modern comfort.

Beds are spacious and incredibly comfortable, linens are soft and natural, and the overall atmosphere is calm and restful.

From private nooks to shared suites, we offer options that suit a variety of group setups while ensuring that every guest has a quiet place to unwind and recharge.

Throughout the estate, cosy sitting areas and tranquil corners invite guests to pause, reflect, and feel at home.

Seamless Organisation and Thoughtful Support

At Terra Verde, we’re more than just a venue—we’re your partners.

From the moment you book, our team is here to support you in creating a smooth and well-rounded experience.

We take care of the essentials: delicious, farm-to-table vegetarian meals made fresh each day; beautiful spaces set up exactly as you need them; and warm, attentive service throughout your stay.

But we also go further. Need a yoga class to complement your programme? A guided hike, a storytelling night, or a wine tasting to bring people together?

We’ll help you lift your workshop beyond the expected—so you can focus on teaching while we take care of the rest.

A Location That Grounds and Inspires

Terra Verde is set in a peaceful valley framed by ancient forests and mountain peaks.

Here, nature feels alive and accessible—within a short ride you’ll find waterfalls, river beaches, and scenic trails where time seems to slow down.

Just beyond the estate, the village of Côja offers a glimpse of authentic Portuguese life, with its cobbled streets, family-run cafés, and quiet charm.

The wider region is a treasure trove of culture and history, from Schist villages and Roman ruins to the lively university city of Coimbra.

It’s a part of Portugal still largely untouched by tourism, offering your guests not just a retreat, but a chance to explore, discover, and truly connect.for both connection and creativity.
