UNTAMED. Wild and free together in a slice of Portuguese paradise
Over 5 glorious days we bring together our most potent practices as you daze, laze, dance, move, shake, sing, write and step into the most unapologetic version of yourself.
You walk into the villa, the gates close and the space is ours. No rules. No limits. No judgement.
An opportunity for you to re-meet your inner child, reconnect with your fire and release your most authentic self.
You will journey through the chakras and their associated elements in your daily yoga practices, which will empower you to let go of what’s holding you back and step into equilibrium. Your coaching workshops will invite your truth to be revealed and re-connect you to your inner wisdom.
All with a community of vibrant, open minded, curious humans. Your kind of people.
Our retreats are unique. They heal. They expand. They connect. Come join us to experience it.
We can’t wait to hold you.
We’ll spend our time surrounded by nature overlooking the ocean, nestled in the evergreen landscape of the Serra da Arrábida Natural Park in Portugal about 40km south of Lisbon. Our setting, a mirror of our intention for the week- wild and untamed, we’ll be kissed by the ocean breeze, blessed with divine sunsets and wrapped in hills of green. The perfect spot to pause, breathe, reground and rebirth.
We’ll have exclusive access to the grounds, which comprises of the Main Villa, 2 Tiny Homes, Infinity Pool and Deck, Yoga Dome and Rooftop Chill Spot. DREAMY.
