SHAMANIC YOGA ODYSSEY – PORTUGAL
THIS RETREAT UNFOLDS WITH AT LEAST 10 PARTICIPANTS
Five sacred days await you in my beloved homeland — Portugal, where the soul of the ocean meets the whispers of ancient stone.
We begin in Lisboa, a city of light and fado, where hills rise like prayers and the Tagus flows with stories of sailors and seekers. From there, we journey into the mystical embrace of Sintra, land of mist-veiled palaces and enchanted forests, where the veil between worlds thins and the unseen dances close. Our path then carries us to the cliffs of Azenhas do Mar, where whitewashed houses cling to the rocks and the vast Atlantic opens like an infinite altar.
This is no ordinary retreat — it is an odyssey.
A weaving of shamanic ceremony, soulful yoga, breath and silence, movement and stillness, myth and memory.
Each day is an invocation, each practice a portal, each step a remembrance of the power and beauty that already lives within you.
Come walk barefoot on this land of poets and dreamers. Come breathe with the sea, pray with the forest, and awaken the ancient knowing of your heart.
Five days, held between earth and sky, in the timeless rhythm of Portugal.
Between mountain and sea, in the embrace of Sintra’s forests and Cascais’ wild coast, we will stay in a villa of astonishing grace. Wrapped in countryside stillness, you will awaken each morning to the chorus of birds, nature’s own prayer opening the day.
Guided by our own Portuguese chef, every meal becomes a celebration of the land and its abundance. Fresh, vibrant, and lovingly prepared, each dish carries the essence of Portugal — the sun, the sea, the soil — transformed into nourishment for body and soul.
Through the gateway of Shamanic Yoga, we gather in ceremony and presence, weaving ancient wisdom with embodied practice. Each day offers a tapestry of experiences — yoga, meditation, EFT, breathwork, and much more — guiding you deeper into balance, release, and awakening.
Rooted in the lineage of yoga, our practice is a soulful fusion of Hatha, Vinyasa, Restorative, and Satyananda, flowing between strength and surrender, stillness and movement, earth and sky.
This is not just practice — it is remembrance. A return to the sacred rhythm within, held by ritual, breath, and the timeless language of the body.
Tip: TAP Airlines offers the best connection from Heathrow — just 2 hours and 10 minutes to Lisbon. As it is not half-term, tickets are remarkably reasonable.
In 2018, I guided my first yoga retreat in this sacred land, full of emotion and excitement, carrying the quiet absence of my mother. Since then, each journey here has been a dance of presence, memory, and gratitude.
May these days awaken your heart, nourish your spirit, and leave you cradled in the timeless beauty of my Portugal.
