Embodied Essence: Women’s Retreat Experience
Online Opening: February 15th, 2026 • In-person Retreat: March 13th - 18th, 2026 • Online Integration: April 12th, 2026 • The Algarve, Portugal
It’s your moment to feel yourself again. Feel your worth again. Live life from your center.
You’re about to meet someone you’ve been missing: you.
To do so, you don’t need a perfect life, more time, or fewer responsibilities. It’s simply time for a reset that reaches your body, your energy, your heart, not just your mind.
That’s what the Embodied Essence Retreat Experience gives you:
a deep shift in the way you relate to yourself and to life itself. To best support you in this lasting transformation, you receive one month of online preparation before the in-person retreat in Portugal, and one month of online integration after.
This is not about a retreat high, it’s about an actual change in your life. So:
Be prepared to see changes in your daily life.
Right now, you might feel as if…
Life feels like it’s happening behind a glass wall.
Resting makes you more anxious than staying busy.
You’re exhausted from giving and don’t know how to receive.
You’ve twisted yourself to be liked and forgot how you feel.
You know you’re meant to bloom, but nothing is really happening.
You are not the only one.
None of this means something is “wrong” with you.
It’s conditioning. And in the Embodied Essence Retreat Experience, you will change it, so…
This becomes possible for you:
You feel clear, grounded, and powerful in your body.
You participate in your life instead of watching from the sidelines.
You receive support from others (and Life itself) without guilt.
You stay true to yourself, even when it’s uncomfortable.
You bloom.
The Full Journey
Prepare · Embody · Integrate
Embodied Essence is a two-month journey with the in-person Algarve retreat at its center.
Real change doesn’t happen in a few days. It happens through repetition, support, and embodiment — before, during, and after the retreat. This unique format makes sure your transformation doesn’t stay a “retreat high,” but becomes your new way of being.
1. Remeber & Prepare
Online Opening Call — Sunday, February 15, 2026 · 18:00–20:00 CET (Replay Available)
In the first group call, you will begin by getting clear:
Who do you want to be?
What needs to shift?
What do you desire from life and from yourself?
You’ll meet the group and start reconnecting with the woman you’re becoming.
In the weeks leading up to the retreat, you’ll receive weekly preparation emails that help you become aware of the changes you want to make: you arrive in Portugal already in motion.
2. Retreat & Embody
In-Person Retreat — Lagos, Algarve, Portugal · March 13–18, 2026
This is where the deep transformation happens. You will learn how to create conditions for your system to reset from the inside out — so safety, expression, trust, desire, and truth become embodied, not theoretical. You’ll be guided through somatic, energetic, emotional, and relational practices inside a space where you can let go fully and be held.
3. Return & Integrate
Online Closing Call — Sunday, April 12, 2026 · 18:00–20:00 CET (Replay Available)
This is where your new choices take root.
For four weeks after the retreat, you receive weekly integration emails to help you stay connected to your new way of being instead of sliding back into old patterns.
You’ll also stay connected with the group, and we gather one month later to anchor insights, answer questions, and celebrate your breakthroughs.
Important to note:
You can join only the Portugal retreat — but the full two-month journey is what makes the change last.
Preparation sets the ground. The Retreat transforms you. Integration anchors it into your daily life. This is where really feel the shift: in your actual life, not only during the retreat.
The Retreat Space
Quinta Bonita — A Luxury Hideaway in the Western Algarve
A family-owned boutique villa with charm, soul, and space to exhale. Sea views. Serenity. Beauty. A place where you can breathe again.
Quinta Bonita will be exclusively ours during the retreat. It’s a warm, elegant home overlooking the ocean, with its own light-filled yoga studio where we will gather each day. The owners take care of every detail with heart so you can slow down, soften, and be held. You’ll be nourished with fresh, local, mostly vegetarian meals prepared daily, including herbs from their own garden.
Experience again (or maybe for the first time) what it feels like to be fully cared for.
Accommodation will be offered in single bedrooms, shared double or shared triple bedrooms. All seven rooms at Haven have their own en-suite bathroom.
Please indicate your preference when registering so that we can find a suitable spot for you.
