Join our spirit health women’s retreat to reconnect with your inner self, abundance & female wisdom within. Retreat for a week in a small seaside village in Aljezur and embark on a journey of self love, sisterhood and awakening your sacred health within. Moving freely, chanting meditative mantras, eating wholesome vegan meals, laughing, sharing yoga philosophy circles, doing daily hatha asanas and gathering barefoot under the moon at the nearest Monte Clerigo beach, with like minded women from all around the world. No matter your age, size, background or yoga level – every woman is welcome & loved for who they are.
Yoga can be a very practical tool to become healthy. Your spirit is calling for soul food, specially after the turmoil we go through on a global scale.
.
Where the heart is full the cup is waiting to be shared.
Madhavi & Debbie have walked many years a path of self realisation that offered by their spiritual teachers with a stable daily meditation- & yoga asana practice. They share ancient wisdom from the Yoga Philosophy, in a down to earth way, that can easily be implemented into your daily life. Long refreshing beach walks along the ancient coast lines of Monte Clerigo and going off the beaten track into the famous trails of Costa Vicentina Natural Park. And of course we didn't leave out the food. You will be treated and inspired by the amazing local young lady Ana. She will cook 3 vegan meals a day to keep us vibrating and healthy.

Teachers:
Madhavi & Debbie met 7 years ago at the Yoga conference in Munich. They became instant friends. Over years this became closer and they shared many deep realisations on life, setting up their own individual business, reading the same books and of course also about their life relationships that come with ups and downs and reflecting on the inner self. This comes with many laughters and tears on all topics, but foremost they come with teachings. Always highlighting the best qualities of the other in the end of every conversation to summarise and remind the other we are spirit souls living in a demanding material world. They started to dream about hosting a retreat to empower other woman on living a more simple life with this higher conscious way of thinking. Sharing this lifestyle seems more then essential in the time we are living.

Debbie
is building a retreat centre / permacultural farm in Algarve together with her husband and daughter Jeya. She is also founder of OHMat and Yoga teacher for many years. She has been teaching in Holland, Bali and now in Algarve.
Her teachings are gentle in a Hatha flow with much attention to the subbtle energy and inner peace. Just like Madhavi she practices Bhakti yoga now for 7 years. She will bring the teachings of the asanas and guide the circle ceremonies in a dialogue, aiming to bring the uniqueness of every person on the retreat outward through Yoga philosofy, reading together from Bhagavad Gita & using day to day situations that we all go through. There is always unity to find through duality of every single being.

Our Vegan cook Ana
Ana is a gorgeous local young woman. She is a plant-based chef with her own local guesthouse. She just recently came back from Bali studying in Ubud at a place that was one of Debbie’s favorite at the time she was living there. Ana’s plantbased food is made with a heart of sincere love for cooking and mother Earth. When you lay your eyes on her food, your mouth becomes a waterfall ready to jump in and benig swept away by your own tastebuds! She can cook macrobiotic, vegan and makes her own vegan cheese too.
We can’t wait to indulge in the local, seasonal & organic meals, 3 times a day
* Just lets us know if you have any specific diet prior to the retreat.

Facility & Accommodation:
The retreat center is a family run project that was born out of the desire to live in harmony with nature and with ourselves. Nestled in 20 hectares of native woodland and off the grid, we aim to provide a beautiful and inspiring stay in nature, far from the busy pace of modern life.
Motivated by our own life experiences, we host holistic, educational retreats and courses; and we promote a conscious lifestyle. We are situated in the countryside of Aljezur, Portugal. A short drive away from the breathtaking, unspoiled beaches of Southwest Algarve and the famous trails of Costa Vicentina Natural Park.

The hill top accommodation is a newly build Portuguese style country house that overlooks the green forest. And just by sitting on the deck chairs of your wooden veranda decorated with jasmin white flowers, you feel directly the positive effect of being in nature. There is no escape from the serenity and purity that is visual in nature and felt by the Algarve Sun, the chanting birds and a smell of wild herbs that is so unique to this area. October in Algarve feels like a warm Spring compared to the upper part of Europe.
