This October, I return to Portugal for a new retreat experience in an exceptional secluded luxury location in the Serra da Arrábida Natural Park, just 40 km south of Lisbon. Together with wellness therapist and travel author Sabine Bouvet, we invite you to one of Europe’s last untouched paradises — where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean.
Surrounded by wild nature, ocean air, and southern light, this immersive retreat combines somatic healing, yoga, face yoga, energetic therapy, meditation, mindfulness, and nature-based practices designed to restore body and mind. Walk barefoot in the sand beneath fragrant sea mist. Listen to the silence, the wind through the trees, birdsong, and the rhythm of the waves. Feel the warmth of the sun and the ocean breeze awakening your senses.
This retreat is an invitation to slow down, reconnect with nature, and return to yourself. Autumn in Portugal offers a softer seasonal energy — the perfect setting for deep rest, grounding, and renewal.
We will enjoy exclusive residency in a luxury eco-villa perched above a sea of pine trees with views stretching toward the ocean horizon. With a limited number of participants, the retreat offers an intimate and supportive atmosphere with space for meaningful connection, personal attention, reflection, and community.
Our days will include daily wellness practices, beautiful meals, walks in nature, swimming and sauna with movement, somatics, beauty, art therapy, and restorative sessions inspired by yoga, Chinese Medicine, mindfulness, and the healing rhythms of the natural world.
SABINE BOUVET : “Listen to the body’s memory. Listen to the words. This is what I practice through Rebalancing and Body Mind Centering (BMC), psychocorporal therapies. Releasing physical tension to release psychological tension. Listening to emotions. A travel journalist based in Lisbon, I am driven by a love of words and of connecting with oneself and others. Trained in Rebalancing in Germany and then in California, and in BMC in Italy—a somatic approach (soma = the living body)—”
Surrounded by lush jungle and beautiful beaches, supported by luxury accommodation, dining, and hospitality, our classes will draw inspiration from the natural world, Chinese Medicine, Buddhist mindfulness, and illuminating poetry and readings. This retreat will offer a yoga and wellness practice that is both dynamic and restorative, with an emphasis on students’ individual needs to nourish, support mental clarity, restful sleep, creativity, inspiration, and meaningful connection — with self, nature, and others.
