6 Day Awaken Your Essence: Women's Healing Retreat in Portugal

AWAKEN YOUR ESSENCE is a somatic and shamanic healing retreat which will leave you feeling deeply nourished, so that you step back into your life with a bold, new spirit — more positive, alive, vibrant, and connected.

In our retreat, we integrate somatic and shamanic healing because the body is always the last instance to show signs of imbalance.

This retreat is for women who long for a profound reset, craving a space where they can deeply relax and be cared for, while also learning to nurture themselves from within.

Guided by a team of experienced professionals and a psychologist and somatic therapist, you’ll explore a powerful combination of somatic and shamanic healing techniques in group sessions, ceremonies and 1 on 1 treatments.

If you feel overwhelmed by stress, emotions, or a lack of direction, this retreat offers a transformative experience to reconnect with yourself, rediscover joy, and cultivate lasting inner security and self-care.

Please note that this retreat is not intended to replace psychotherapy. If you suffer from mental health issues, please let us know in advance so that we can see if this is the right setting for you.
