Picture yourself riding a beautiful, well-trained Lusitano horse through the magnificent volcanic coastal landscape of the Azores. 

Imagine spending time with a lively, welcoming group of horse lovers who also love to write, led by an award-winning author and veteran teacher. 

Relax in the salt water pool, take a yoga class, wander down to the rocky coastline, take time to breathe deeply and restore your internal balance in the company of nature, horses and kindred spirits. 

Between riding and writing, you relax, chat with new friends, and enjoy hearty meals  in your beautiful surroundings.

Each day you feel your spirits rise, your confidence build and your sense of well-being expand.

You can make this dream come true!

Join me for a magical week of Riding & Writing at Patio Eco-Lodge on Faial Island, Azores, an oasis of natural beauty amid ancient volcanic rocks and lush island vegetation.

Both experienced riders and  beginners with some riding experience will enjoy the relaxed trail rides.

Likewise, no special writing experience is needed, other than a willingness to write from the heart and try out some new portals into your own creativity. 

Riding and Writing will boost your well-being, reminding you how rewarding and exciting it can be to live life to the fullest in a beautiful place in good company, nourishing your mind, body and spirit.
