The Green Room.

How to manage change

A warm-colored hallway with orange walls, decorated with potted plants along the windows and a rustic wooden side table with a large vase of leafy green branches. The hallway features arched windows on one side and is illuminated by hanging lantern-style light fixtures. There is a pinkish rug on the tiled floor, and at the end of the hallway, an archway leads to another room.

The Green Room: Being ready for change.

We offer courses in exclusive Southern Portugal residences, creating the perfect space for reflection, clear thinking, and room to grow in ways that genuinely enhance both well-being and professional development.

We will introduce you to the concept of Relational Intelligence which, by design, will rewire your mind and body, strengthening your capability to navigate change.

With a maximum of eight people attending we ensure an exclusive and focused experience where every participant is afforded space to learn, practice and reset.

We work with stunning small residences in the Algarve Hills, no more than a 45 minute transfer from Faro airport or 2.5 hours drive / train / bus to/from Lisbon or Seville meaning you can make it a mid-week trip or extend your stay in Portugal with ease.

Prices start at £2495 per person (dependent on room type) inclusive of accommodation, course and meals.
