A Quiet Celebration Of
The Wholeness Of What Is
Naturally Appearing
Beyond belief, beyond interpretations of what’s happening, beyond metaphysics, and beyond interpretations of consciousness, beyond being a self, big or small, and the interpretation of separation, beyond everything—there is simply, naturally, what’s appearing: already everything, always whole.
A Survey To Help Me Design This Event - Thank You.
This page is intended to help me shape my forthcoming gathering of friends in Northern Portugal. It outlines the event as it is currently envisioned.
If you have a few minutes, I would be deeply grateful for your feedback on the proposal—even if you are unable to attend. At the end of this page, you'll find a short feedback form designed to keep the process simple. It should take no more than a few minutes to complete.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to help me create a gathering that is as welcoming, enjoyable, and meaningful as possible.
With love and best wishes,
Freyja
Spring and Autumn 2027D`Alijo Retreat Centre Portugal
You are warmly invited to celebrate the wholeness of what’s naturally appearing.
If you’d like to spend three days in the northern mountains of Portugal, celebrating this wholeness with friends, you are warmly invited to our gathering this coming spring or autumn. In this event, we will point in meetings to the wholeness of what’s naturally appearing that is already everything and complete as it is, amidst the what’s naturally appearing as nature, with friends. The days are relaxed and openly organized around these principles. This is a quiet celebration of wholeness—not a training, intensive, or spiritual retreat. Each day will include a 90-minute introduction to the wholeness with questions and answers with Freya. We’ll have walks in nature, time to simply be in nature, and time to enjoy friendship over beautiful Portuguese dinners. The event is inspired by Freya’s book, The Quiet Confidence of Not Being Anyone which is recommended reading for the gathering.
Nature
Plenty of time to rest, rejunvinate, walk in, swim and enjoy the beautiful mountains and countryside or northern Portugal
Dialogue
Each day includes a 90-minute dialogue with questions and answers with Freyja. A pointing to the wholeness of what is naturally appearing.
Friendship
Embracing the wholeness of friendship over beautiful Portuguese dinners. Relaxed evenings talking with others of like mind.
This is for those who resonate with this approach to nondual wholeness.
This gathering is not a training, intensive or spiritual retreat. It is a quiet celebration of the obvious wholeness of what is naturally appearing.
If you feel drawn to spend a few days in beautiful surroundings with open-hearted people, exploring the simplicity of nondual wholeness through conversation, silence and friendship, you are warmly welcome. There is nothing to learn, nothing to achieve and nothing to become.
Come as you are. Leave as you are. Discover that nothing was ever missing.
Proposed Dates
We are exploring two possible times of year for this gathering: spring and autumn. Both seasons offer something beautiful in the northern Portuguese mountains — spring brings fresh green valleys and wildflowers, while autumn offers golden light, harvest meals and crisp mountain air.
We would love to know which season feels most appealing to you.

The likely cost to participants would cover:
—Your own travel to and from Porto airport
—Accommodation at the retreat centre, including meals
—A possible excursion cost, if an outing is arranged
