Right now this section feels random - Do we need this section if it’s straight forward, fly into lisbon… are we doing a car service? we could collapse this into the FAQ or into a section like something above where we explore what to expect. OR ??NIGHT IN LISBON - if we are going to give people the option for a night in lisbon before then maybe we talk about that here, and then include plans to meet up or hotel recs? and if we do that, then do we do a group shuttle to the spot the next day?
FAQs
-
There is wifi at the venue, but we do mind and follow intentional phone practices. We require no phones during workshop or at any meals. We request the rest of the week that you leave your phone in your room or only use it very intentionally. This decision has been made after years of retreats and our quest to be present during this experience.
-
We are located exactly between Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, so you can fly into either city. The international airport in Rio is Galeão International Airport (GIG) and in São Paulo Guarulhos International Airport (GRU). Alternative local airports in either city are also good options. Brazil is big and the options are endless!
-
Private taxis and shuttles will be booked through us. If you are experienced and adventurous you can also take a comfortable bus. Please inquire if you have questions.
