Day 1
Welcome to Monchique – Portugal’s hidden gem in the mountains
We’re so glad you’ve made arrangements to be here with us in Portugal for a peaceful and relaxing women’s retreat with Nicole. It’s time to put you first! Once you land, take your group transfer from the airport, check in at your luxe villa, and enjoy some free time to get your bearings.
In the evening, we’ll come together and meet the group in the form of a welcome dinner and icebreaker activity. Get ready for a week of fun and relaxation with like-minded women who need (and deserve) some serious R&R. Grab a glass of your favorite drink and toast to a stellar retreat ahead!
Day 2
Day 2: Dive into the initial sessions led by Nicole, where you'll delve into the realm of self-care, tackle toxic habits, and establish powerful anchors
Awaken to a bright new day in the picturesque Portuguese paradise. Savor a delightful breakfast, and then join us for a focused meditation session, setting the stage for our first empowering encounter with Nicole. Today's agenda revolves around nurturing your self-care, confronting toxic habits, and challenging limiting beliefs. After a refreshing lunch break, take some personal reflection time to internalize the insights gained before our second session. In this session, Nicole will guide you in identifying and silencing your inner critic while equipping you with valuable anchors—tools to rely on when confronted with old patterns. This marks the beginning of a comprehensive toolkit you'll develop and carry home with you after this transformative retreat.
Following the session, take advantage of some well-deserved leisure time to unwind and decompress. You may also decide to savor a personalized experience, whether it's booking an optional coaching session or indulging in a soothing spa treatment. Regardless of your choice, head to dinner and embrace the serene ambiance of the mountain surroundings, allowing tranquility to permeate your being.
Day 3
Today, immerse yourself in a transformative experience of release and boundary-setting, complemented by moments of peaceful meditation, delectable cuisine, and a delightful river boat cruise
As another splendid day begins, join us for a nourishing breakfast followed by a serene walking meditation, allowing you to cultivate a grounded and centered state. Then, dive into the second day of our sessions with Nicole, where we will focus on the art of letting go and freeing ourselves from mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual limitations. In addition, you will gain valuable insights and practical tools for establishing and nurturing healthy boundaries that support your personal growth and well-being.
After lunch, we will delve into the vital role that personal values play in shaping our lives. During this transformative session, we will guide you in the exploration and identification of your unique personal values. Understanding and embracing these core principles is essential for creating a meaningful and fulfilling life. By gaining clarity on what truly matters to you, you'll discover the guiding compass that aligns your actions, decisions, and aspirations with your authentic self. Prepare to embark on an introspective journey that will illuminate the significance of personal values and empower you to live in harmony with your deepest desires and aspirations.
As the sun gracefully descends, we will gather for a delightful riverboat cruise indulging in the flavors and aromas of Portugal's renowned wines and savor some traditional dishes. This moment of shared enjoyment will pave the way for a well-deserved dinner break, allowing you to savor every aspect of this extraordinary retreat.
Day 4
As we approach the final day of our retreat, let's gather in the morning to focus and prepare ourselves for today's transformative work through a soothing body scan meditation session
Although it's hard to believe, our time together is coming to an end. But before we bid farewell, there are meaningful moments to cherish. After a nourishing breakfast, we'll engage in one last meditation session, allowing us to reflect on the incredible journey we've experienced as a group. Building upon this grounded state, Nicole will guide us in reclaiming our authentic selves and setting SMART goals, which will be explored within the context of the Wheel of Life. This will be followed by a dedicated time for group reflection, where we can share insights, express gratitude, and exchange special gifts that symbolize our connection and growth.
Savor these precious final hours, taking pride in the profound inner work you have accomplished. As we conclude, we will make our way to the transfer, ready to embark on our journeys home. May you depart feeling truly rested, rejuvenated, and equipped with a newfound sense of joy and confidence. Wishing you safe travels and continued well-being on your path ahead.
