the retreats
@16STRONGWOMEN 2021- with love from Portugal
Happiness is....
the alchemy of a stressfree life
Retreats are a minibreak that last a lifetime
HOW it all started...
Someone in harmony with their spirit is like a river flowing..
Working for the spa industry I saw that people do not solve their stress situations with a massage or a bath. It was my conversation with them, that unlocked a free lifestyle. Honest conversations. The right questions and then aha moments happened. My own retreat experience was an interesting one.When I was invited from a friend of Mauritius to join him in Florence in an ashram, where I stayed for one month, it was the first time I had not planned anything of my journey. I planned to stay in the guest house of the ashram. Which would have exploded my budget of travelling and without knowing it turned out to be a stay that cost nothing. I arrived and saw my luggage going from the guest house to the volonteer house without any discussion. Which meant I would pay nothing and serve. And one day the monks wanted me even to sleep in the monk grounds, where there was no normal privacy. So I listened to my intuition and saw my luggage moving around in the ashram without my input. I was so at peace throughout the time just watching things unfold without my constant input of how things should be and how I planned them. I ended up serving the monks and sleeping in non-private rooms. At first I wanted to change the situation. My ego was like , I dont want this and some voice said, go with the flow and dive into a new experience. It made me practice serving others and being at peace eventhough 4 women were in my room. One day I saw a woman who moved in who was giving retreats for marshall arts once a year. And that was when it clicked, bringing massage, art, nature, experience, destress workshops, swimming, food into one place as a retreat.Now it is time to give others the opportunity to retreat into themselves to transform. it is not something that happens in a normal holiday, that is what I had learned. Everything there freed me in a way I will always be thankful for
What is special?
THE RETREAT THAT SHOWS TO CREATE CONSTANT INNER JOY
Creating a space for you to change your old habits, through personal workshops, while discovering the world is a recipe of a pilgrimage. What is the use of normal holidays?There is no greater gift than already having inner peace before you leave this planet.Everything falls into place when you know how to be happy with any stress situation that comes towards you.

No boring monologues, like in group settings.
No strict appointments
You get to know what flow is
silence is the main goal, but also little adventures

You finally become still enough so that the answers can arise within you...
The chances are you’ll fall in love
with Portugal’s Algarve region, or Bali, the Azores, Switzerland, Sardinia or Marrakech.
While embarking on this beautiful 10, 5, or 2 day sarcred devine journey or the weekend to find happiness,
you will fall in love with life, because you will then know how to see things from a different perspective.
Your body will have radiant energy and feel more alive,
