Summary

From October 15 to 19, 2026, Giulia Lops and Kerstin Marx will lead dynamic silence’s Warrior of Light Retreat in the mountains of Monchique: five days of embodied initiation into your inner fire at Casa de Cura, in an exclusive group of just ten people. Through Budokon Yoga, Primal Movement, breathwork, energy work, and shadow work, movement becomes medicine and the breath becomes a blade that opens rather than wounds. If you feel that you have long been strong, adaptable, and lovable—and yet know that your light no longer wants to be held back—then this circle is for you. Come as you are: the Warrior of Light within you does not need to be created; it simply needs to be remembered at last.

* What’s it all about?

What sets this retreat apart is that it’s neither a gentle break nor a yoga vacation. It’s an embodied initiation into your inner fire. Movement becomes medicine, and the breath becomes a blade that opens rather than wounds. Budokon Yoga and Primal Movement awaken the body as an ally; breathwork journeys bring to the surface what words cannot reach; energy and chakra work release old patterns; and in small circles, you are allowed to be seen—without a mask, without putting on a performance.

This retreat is for you if you’ve long been strong, adaptable, and easy to love—yet still feel that something deeper is burning within you. For you, who are done with keeping your light dim. For you, who are ready to sweat, to feel, to welcome your shadows, and to stand up as a whole person.

An intense, supported rhythm awaits you: morning awakening and movement, integration with nature throughout the day, evening circle, silence, and nourishing vegetarian cuisine. No spectating, no trying to “fix” anything—but rather an invitation not to become the Warrior of Light, but to rediscover them within yourself.

* Goals of the Retreat

After the retreat, you won’t be taking home a new version of yourself—you’ll be carrying more of what has always been within you.

Before, you often just functioned: strong, adaptable, lovable—all while keeping your inner fire smoldering. Afterward, you’ll know in your body, not just in your mind, that strength doesn’t require harshness. You’ll stand taller, breathe deeper, and have to bend yourself less to fit in. Shadows you’ve long pushed away—anger, grief, shame, even buried joy—are allowed to be there without you waging war on them. That’s exactly where space is created: for clarity, for an open heart, for a radiance that needs no audience.

You’ll take away concrete tools—movement as medicine, breath as a gateway, rituals, and an inner attitude that sustains you in everyday life. Above all, though, you’ll take away a reminder: that your light doesn’t have to be earned. You won’t walk away as someone else. You’ll leave as yourself—more grounded, more authentic, and brave enough to no longer hide your fire.

Accommodation

Wir laden Sie herzlich in die „Casa de Cura“ ein, ein verstecktes Heilungsdorf inmitten der ruhigen Berge von Monchique, im Herzen der portugiesischen Algarve.

Abseits des Stromnetzes und tief in der Erde verwurzelt lädt dieser heilige Zufluchtsort Sie ein, dem Trubel der Welt den Rücken zu kehren und in einen sanften Rhythmus einzutauchen, in dem die Zeit langsamer vergeht, die Erde mit Ihnen atmet und uralte Heilenergien Ihr inneres Licht erwecken.

Umgeben von der stillen Weisheit der Natur, organischem Design und Räumen, die von sanftem, nährendem Licht durchflutet sind, bietet dieser magische Ort die perfekte Wiege für deinen inneren Krieger, um sich zu bewegen, zu atmen, auszuruhen, sich zu erinnern und aufzustehen.

Komm zu uns, um dich wieder mit unserem Licht, deiner Kraft und dem heiligen Puls des Lebens selbst zu verbinden.

Die Tore der Casa de Cura erwarten deine Ankunft.

Catering

Included is nourishing vegetarian and vegan full board: a snack with tea in the morning, a generous brunch later in the day, and a three-course dinner in the evening. Fruit, teas, and herbal infusions are available throughout the day. The cuisine is intentionally simple and filling to sustain the body during the intensive work—no hotel buffet, no distractions.

sequence

The retreat follows a clear inner journey over five days—and a vibrant, flexible rhythm that gives space to the body, breath, and soul.

Thursday – Arrival & Opening
You arrive in the mountains of Monchique, leave everyday life behind, and are welcomed into the circle. No expectations, no pressure to perform: The first day creates the space for you to truly be present.

Friday – Igniting
Movement and breath bring warmth. Budokon Yoga and Primal Movement awaken the body as an ally; what you’ve held onto for so long is allowed to come into motion. The warrior within you isn’t trained—it’s remembered.

Saturday – Encounter
The day of encountering the shadow. Through breathwork, somatic rituals, and in the circle, you’re invited to reclaim parts of yourself that you’ve shut out. Pain doesn’t become a story—it becomes a source of strength that’s allowed to be a part of you.

Sunday – Enlightenment
Energy and chakra work, integration, the body as sacred ground. Radiance doesn’t arise for an audience, but because nothing needs to be hidden anymore.

Monday – Rising
You don’t leave as a new person. You’ll leave as yourself—grounded, clearer, with the fire you no longer hold back.

A typical day in between might look like this: a gentle morning awakening with breathwork, a walk, or stillness; followed by guided movement or energy work; time for integration in nature, journaling, or rest; a hearty brunch; in the afternoon, inner work or reflection; free space to settle in the countryside; in the evening, a shared meal and circle—or silence, if the day calls for it. Nothing is just for show. Every pause is part of the training.

Arrival

The Casa de Cura is located in the mountains of the Serra de Monchique, in the Algarve’s hinterland: a quiet valley, hillsides, paths winding between the houses, and vast natural landscapes instead of resort activity. Monchique is the nearest town, and the sea is within reach, yet the place feels far removed from everyday life—enveloped by mountain air, silence, and the rhythm of the countryside.

Most guests arrive via Faro Airport. From there, the retreat is easily accessible; a shared shuttle can be arranged. Flights and transfers are not included in the price—please plan your arrival and departure so that you can arrive at your leisure on October 15 and depart again on October 19.
