Join us for a transformative and intimate 4-night luxury women’s retreat in the beautiful Portuguese region of Ribatejo. Nestled in the heart of the serene Douro Valley, you’ll stay at Quinta Carvalhas – a captivating property that harmoniously blends nature, relaxation, and mindfulness. The beautifully rustic venue offers massage, holistic treatments, and equine encounters, as well as delicious local fare and tranquil farmland, to disconnect and relax the body, mind, and spirit from the hustle and bustle of city life. Here, you will have time to rewild, revere, and reconnect to your feminine essence.
Inspired by the elements of nature, these five days will be filled with carefully curated sessions and experiences designed to bring about profound healing, connection, insights, and transformation. The elements of earth, water, fire, air, and ether will be our guides, gently bringing us back home to our cyclical feminine nature. We will come together to play, transform, and support one another on this journey of remembrance.
This retreat is a safe space for you to feel and express all of you while being surrounded by inspiring, like-minded women. Through embodiment practices, empowering tools, a luxurious and soothing environment, sisterhood, and deep presence with nature, you will experience connection and balance in being: a coming home. Fully alive, joyful, peaceful and blissful. A deep remembrance of your truest essence beyond all external noise. A safe haven within yourself. A space to drop into, listen, and receive the answers you long for.
Welcome to Portugal, your home away from home for the next four nights. We’re so glad you’ve made the journey here to work on your inner landscape, giving you the time and space to release, heal, and grow with like-minded souls.
Upon arrival, meet your driver and transfer to your luxurious accommodation in the Ribatejo region. Surrounded by verdant terraced vineyards and the gentle flow of the Douro River, this idyllic setting inspires a sense of calm and inner peace, providing the perfect backdrop for deepening the relationship with yourself, your community, and the world around you.
You’ll stay at Quinta Carvalhas – a picturesque vineyard estate comprised of luxurious suites, lush gardens, and wellness activities of all kinds. Get settled in your posh room, then come together for a welcome tour and an opening ceremony where you can set your intentions for the coming days. A welcome dinner, yoga, and evening rituals follow.
Today, we’re focusing on water, our life source and element that covers over 70% of our planet. Our goal is to focus on flow, healing, and the sacred connection to our sexuality.
From a variety of workshops and sessions, we’ll participate in activities such as yoga, breathwork, swiming and more to align the mind, the body, and the soul with the divine feminine energy of the water, land and stars above.
Today, we’re focusing on the element of fire, our inner passions and outer force that offers the juxtaposition of safety and destruction. Our goal is to focus on igniting, alchemizing, and speaking our truths into existence.
From a variety of workshops and sessions, we’ll participate in activities such as wild dance, emotional release, a fire ceremony and more to empower our voice and reignite the flame determination to conquer our fears, goals, and dreams.
It’s our last full day in Portugal, and we want to ensure you have the tools to trust yourself and make connections once you are home. A conscious relating workshop and a heart opening embodiment practice will arm you with confidence and compassion so that you can move forward boldly and bravely.
In the evening, we'll have a meditation walk and some time to gaze at horses, reflecting on our place in the universe and feeling the pulse of something greater than us. To cap off the day, we'll meet for dinner, bedtime stories, and our usual evening rituals. Soak in every moment you can of this transformational experience and breathe in new possibility all around.
After morning rituals and a final integration and closing circle, it’s time to say goodbye. Take your transfer to the airport and catch your flight.
Through embodiment practices, empowering tools, sisterhood and deep presence with nature, we hope you leave here feeling rested, rejuvenated, and reconnected to the world around you. You always have a safe-haven within yourself, a space to drop into, listen, and receive the answers you long for, even when you return home. Always remember who you are. Safe travels and be well!
