CREATE & CONNECT
04.-11.Mai 2024, Portugal
Without connection to Mother Earth, we loose that connection to ourselves. As we become increasingly aware of the power of nature, we are becoming more conscious of the role that mindfulness can play in sparking our creativity. Creativity enables us to connect with the beauty around us as much as the beauty within our deepest selves.
Are you ready to embark on that journey with us, meet like minded women, surrounded by beautiful nature ?
YOGA
With her yoga classes & movement workshops, Jani would like to open up a space for you to try out your own needs and get in touch with yourself. We practice yoga together twice a day. The practice takes place either outside in nature - by the lake, in the spacious garden on our yoga platform in the forest - or in the light-flooded indoor area. Yoga includes asana practice but also meditation, pranayama, reflection on yamas and niyamas, bhakti yoga and much more. Jani is keen to give you a holistic insight into the world of yoga, free from dogma and without instruction. This allows you to lovingly push your own boundaries, open yourself to the flow of life, calm your monkey mind, let go and relax.
CREATIVITY
The question is not whether you are creative or not - the question is rather how deeply you are connected to your intuition and your own creativity. Together we will create a new work of art every day, give ourselves a gift of homemade body butter or create a small painting. Paulina will guide you with a lot of passion and feeling and will make it easy for you to lose your fear of the blank sheet of paper. Let's make pottery together, paint in watercolors, bind our own journal and enjoy many other creative workshops together.
LOCATION AND RETREAT HOUSE
​
Our retreat location is beautifully situated with a view of the sea and surrounded by eucalyptus forests. Afife Beach is just a 15-minute walk away. Afife and the surrounding coast are home to some of the most spectacular beaches found in this region of northern Portugal. The former bakery has been lovingly restored to create a beautiful mix of modern luxury and traditional 'farmhouse feel'. All rooms are bright and spacious and have an ensuite bathroom. The living room and kitchen open onto the terrace and are the perfect place for social gatherings. There is an indoor yoga shala with a sea view and the possibility to practice outside in the spacious garden on the terrace.
SOUL FOOD
​
At our retreats we attach great importance to a varied and healthy diet. Look forward to creative vegan and gluten-free dishes that not only look delicious, but also taste delicious. So you will be able to take home lots of new ideas and inspiration for a healthy and varied kitchen.
