The Return
A retreat for the woman ready to soften, slow down and come home to herself
São Martinho da Cortiça, Portugal
24 - 27th September, 2026
The Return is an invitation to step away from the noise of everyday life and reconnect with the simple magic of being.
In this retreat, life moves slower. The air smells of wild herbs and eucalyptus. Meals are prepared with love from fresh, local and organic ingredients. Nature becomes the space where we remember what truly matters.
Held in a boutique property on a stunning organic farm immersed in nature, this retreat invites You to move gently between exploration, nourishment and deep, spacious stillness.
Over four nourishing days we will move between stillness, nature and connection: swimming in hidden waterfalls, walking barefoot along the Atlantic Ocean at sunset, floating beneath the trees during a candlelit sound bath and sharing slow, meaningful moments together around the table.
Through meditation, ceremonial breathwork, yin yoga, Reiki healing and sacred rituals, this retreat offers a space to soften the nervous system, reconnect with your inner rhythm and remember the woman beneath the noise of daily life.
This retreat is not about becoming someone new. It is about returning to who you already are.
During this 4-day, all-women retreat, You will...
• Nourish your body with fresh, organic meals prepared with local ingredients
• Move gently through yin yoga, yoga nidra, meditation and embodied practices for deep nervous system healing
• Swim in magical waterfalls hidden in the Portuguese hills
• Participate in a heart-opening, transformational breathwork ceremony supported by Reiki healing
• Drift into deep relaxation during a floating sound bath & meditation experience beneath the trees, surrounded by water, candlelight and nature
• Walk barefoot along the Atlantic Ocean during a sunset beach ritual & dinner
• Create your own custom ritual essential oil blend during our full moon medicine making workshop
• Rest deeply in a peaceful sanctuary surrounded by animals and nature
A place where you don’t need to perform, achieve, or push.
A place to breathe. To soften. To simply be.
A place to return to yourself.

Our intention for this retreat is to create a space where women feel safe to slow down, soften and reconnect with themselves through nature, ritual, movement and meaningful connection and to remember the beauty and magic of simply being alive.
