Details
All are welcome to this wonderful event which embeds a mindful, ethical and practical approach to NLP - Neuro Linguistic Programming. NLP can be simply life-changing, the rich mix of linguistic patterns, behavioural and belief change, the melding of mind and body. The Algarve is the most beautiful place in which to learn. This retreat is for any of you who have been waiting to learn NeuroLinguistics in a way which will have constructive and significant impact on you and your life, and which provides an internationally recognised certification should you choose to use your learning to work with others. Neuro Linguistic Programming is one of the most powerful methods of communication, learning and self-regulation, which integrates the whole mind-body you. Think of it as a means of supporting your well being in thought, word and deed. Create a mind that is at peace, learn to speak your truths effectively and make sure that you are heard, and develop the confidence and skills to behave in ways which fulfil your hopes, your dreams, your values. Sound good? If so you might like to join us in a stimulating yet safe and supported environment in the Western Algarve, to immerse in a week long experience with virtual preparation to further your self development and connect with others with the same dream. We work with depth, creativity, and a person centred and compassionate ethic. We have three options co-running depending on your starting point: Practitioner Conversion: 35 hours. This is for those people who have already studied 20 hours of NLP to Diploma level. Practitioner: 55 hours. This is for those who have done no NLP yet and starting from scratch. This course runs in two modules. The first is virtual and takes place in September 2026. The second is residential within the full NLP Retreat. Master Practitioner: 80 hours minimum. This is for those who hold a recognised Practitioner award in NLP. The course runs in two modules, the first to be completed before the Retreat begins and successful completion leading to the award of Master in NLP.
