What we are

Not a retreat. An encounter.

Many people search for a spiritual retreat or a Christian retreat — and in truth, that is what they find here: three days of spiritual renewal away from the noise. But for us it is more than a retreat. It is a personal encounter with Christ, lived in community.

"Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy."— Psalm 126:5

Tres Dias Portugal is an ecumenical Christian movement welcoming believers from all denominations. Over three days, pilgrims step away from life's noise to encounter God's grace — through talks, music, worship, fellowship, and meals shared with new family.

It does not replace your church. It renews your walk.

For families

Sending a Loved One?

We understand that allowing your spouse or family member to attend requires trust. Your loved one is in good hands. This is a spiritually focused, welcoming, and safe weekend.

Yes and no. It has everything you’d look for in a Christian spiritual retreat — three days of rest, prayer, worship, and renewed faith, away from your routine. But Tres Dias goes beyond a traditional retreat: you don’t just come to rest, you come to personally encounter Christ, in a community that walks with you long after the weekend ends.
Yes. All team members are known members of established Christian communities and attend the weekend voluntarily.
The weekend includes intentional time away from phones. This is part of the experience. Emergency contact is always available through us.
None. Tres Dias is intentionally ecumenical, welcoming all Bible-believing Christians regardless of background.
