Flight, transportation, other meals, and optional outings and massage not included.

Please make your own flight reservations to Porto [OPO].

Trip Package rate will be adjusted if you choose to share a room or book elsewhere. Pousada is a youth hostel, therefore affordable, but you will encounter youth. There is a nice, just a bit more expensive, hotel within walking distance of where our sessions will be held, with ocean views.

Drop-in rate available for Portuguese participants, payment in Euros or dollars on first day but please RSVP to hold space.
