Step OUT of a virtual, face-tuned, high-pressure life.
Step INTO a raw, embodied, REAL life!
Are you ready for the BEST way to end 2024 and begin 2025?!
​
Join us for 5 nights/6 days of healing workshops, movement classes, delicious meals, coastal hikes, meditation practices, community, and exploration of PORTUGAL!
​
This retreat is NOT a "wellness incubator" where we drink smoothies and do yoga for a week. This retreat IS a space where you will care for yourself in a nourishing, confidence-boosting way - that you will actually get to bring back home with you!
Don't get us wrong: there will be smoothies AND there will be yoga!
But we're going to talk about how these self-care tools (and other self-care tools) can be accessible, sustainable, and sprinkled into your EVERYDAY life, not just in our controlled retreat environment.
And we're going to embrace the fact that smoothies and yoga are just ONE piece of the pie when it comes to feeling good, energized, and confident.
We will explore other, essential elements of living your most nourished life!
This retreat is a chance to break up with the all or nothing mentality. To truly stop yo-yo dieting. To learn what REAL self-care FEELS like in your system.
This retreat is a cocoon to try out tools you might have been curious to try, but haven’t been able to get yourself to do at home. We'll be moving, stretching, meditating, breathing, journaling…basically “dating” different modalities so you can find which ones really work for you!
And perhaps most importantly: this retreat is a space where you can process your relationship with your body. We are NOT going to let body image be the elephant in the room. We will go there. We will talk about it. We will heal it. This retreat is an opportunity to let go of obsessive thoughts about your body size once and for all, and embrace TRUE holistic health and wellbeing.
​
And let’s be clear: we're not just gonna use “mindset shifts.” This retreat will be about PRACTICE, so that you feel a shift immediately!
In this space, epiphanies will come through. You'll close out 2024 with grace and joy. You'll enter 2025 with inspiration, and a very clear roadmap of what's next.
And of course, lasting community will be created. Remember: community heals! You are not alone in this life. Being surrounded by other humans who are seeing you, hearing you and understanding you is powerful. We all need more experiences where we walk away with new friends, especially as adults. Come join a supportive squad for a once-in-a-lifetime, deeply healing adventure.​
Retreat Highlights
3 Nourishing Meals
Per Day
Our meals will be balanced, satisfying, and diverse. Meals can be catered to all dietary restrictions and allergies. And every bite of delicious food is included in the retreat rate. Also: coffee, tea, and snacks will be available throughout the day.
New Year
Celebration
New Year, more you! You will be guided in setting yourself up beautifully for 2025. AND we'll intentionally celebrate the closing of 2024. We will step into fresh, renewing energy with rituals and celebration. Plus: On New Year's Eve, we'll be doing a midnight yoga class at the TOP of Lisbon, where we can see TONS of fireworks while we practice. It'll be pure magic.
Nutrition, Body Image, & Confidence Workshops
We will have a transformative group workshop every day. Workshops will center on nutrition, intuitive eating, body image, and self-confidence. At the culmination of the retreat, you will have meaningful perspective shifts AND a plan of action to take home with you.
A day in the life while on retreat
You’ll wake up every morning to fresh coffee, beautiful views of the ocean, a kitchen full of vibrant friends, and SPACE to just enjoy life while healing your relationship with your body. You'll be in a group fitness class where you can feel free to move...or to rest...and to create a new relationship with exercise that will last long after the retreat. You’ll be at a dinner table where you don’t have to fear that a convo about dieting, weight loss, or Ozempic will come up and make things tense. You'll be guided in deeply healing, educational workshops...as well as practices like breathwork and meditation. You'll have SPACE to digest each practice and make the most of it! You won't be on your phone or your laptop. And you WILL be exploring Portugal with a group of women who are excited to get to know you, and will celebrate you for exactly who you are.
Every aspect of the retreat is intentionally designed for you to:
-
heal AND have fun
-
exercise AND rest
-
eat veggies AND eat dessert
-
feel like you're on an adventure AND feel relaxed
-
make lifelong friendships AND have essential time to yourself
-

What retreat clients are saying
Caitie's ability to hold space for people is unparalleled. I've never worked with another counselor who is so fully present, spot-on attuned to my needs, and just so authentic. I've learned so much about nutrition, health, and healing my metabolism -- I've also learned so much about myself, my dreams, and what I need to not only be recovered from my eating disorder but also HAPPY.
