Location

Cocoon Portugal is a 275 acre coastal farm + retreat, offering inspiration + community for the modern traveller. It's also pure magic, where between the oversized hammocks and the freshwater lake, you'll start to lose track of time.

Cocoon is situated on the breathtaking Atlantic coast of Portugal, near the charming fishing village of Zambujiera del Mar, in the Alentejo region, which is known for its long stretches of untouched coastline and charming white-washed villages. From Lisbon, it's about two hours drive south. 

Cocoon is just 10 minutes drive away from Praia do Malhao, a fabulous untouched beach. Many of the nearby beaches are good for surfing, kayaking, swimming or sunbathing. There's also world-class hiking on the famed Costa Vicentina trail and secret swimming holes where you can take a refreshing dip. The charming seafront village of Vila Nova de Milfontes is also just 10 minutes drive away.

MEREDITH WADSWORTH
Since discovering yoga at 15, the practice has become a foundational pillar in Meredith's life, empowering her to discover and cultivate a greater sense of self and tools for living well. Her practice and teaching draws upon her varied background in vinyasa, yin, myofascial release, katonah yoga and functional movement, and is interwoven with a creative spirit that stems from her work as a ceramic artist. She seeks to guide students in spreading their awareness from the gross to the subtle, from what is experienced out in the external world to what is experienced in one's inner world, so that it may radiate back out with greater intention, embodiment, and mindful impact. Her classes create a dialogue between body, breath, and imagination paired together with a sense of humor, playfulness and boundless curiosity. She believes that through practice we find community, get to know ourselves, make the unconscious conscious, and cultivate joy in the moment.
