Wise & Well Retreat in the Algarve June ’25

June 1, 2025 - June 7, 2025
Algarve

Empowering Women to Thrive with Yoga and Breathwork.

Do you feel tired? Do you need to replenish your energy, look after your body – including your brain- and your mind?
Join us for a very special 7-day Retreat in the stunning Algarve, Portugal in June ’25. Set in a small village in the Algarve hills, 25 min from the beach, this retreat offers the perfect space to reconnect with your inner wisdom, find balance, and nurture your mind, body, and spirit.

What to Expect:

Daily Yoga: Start each day with yoga sessions tailored your needs, designed to enhance the body’s natural healing, reducing inflammation, balancing hormones… As a yoga therapist, Véronique will not only help you feel better but also explore ways to support your body’s innate intelligence.

Walks in Nature: Did you know that walking in Nature has incredible healing properties? At the physical level, it improves cardiovascular health and lung function, enhances immune function, reduces inflammation. There are also many mental benefits. Walking in Nature lowers cortisol levels, the hormone associated with stress. It also enhances the production of serotonin and endorphins, leaving you happier! Walking mindfully, immersing yourself in the sights, sounds, and smells of nature also fosters a sense of mindfulness and being present in the moment.

Breathwork: Have you ever tried Breathwork? It really is amazing to regulate the nervous system, helping to release stress, trauma, and emotional blockages while fostering deep relaxation and inner peace. By consciously altering the rhythm and depth of the breath, it can enhance self-awareness, promote healing, and create a profound connection to the present moment and one’s inner self. Veronique will guide daily breathwork sessions, including two Conscious Connected Breath sessions. This practice will allow you to release emotional tension and unlock a sense of freedom within. Find out more here.

Nourishing Plant-Based Meals: Indulge in delicious, nutrient-dense plant-based meals that will support your wellbeing from the inside out. We use fresh, local, and mostly organic ingredients to prepare balanced meals that are as nourishing as they are flavourful.

Time for Rest & Reflection: In addition to our scheduled activities, you’ll have time for self-reflection, relaxation, and connecting with like-minded women. Whether you wish to enjoy a quiet moment by the pool, journal, or soak in the beauty of the Algarve, this retreat is designed to offer space for rest and renewal.

Who is This For?

This retreat is open to all women, whether you’re looking to deepen your yoga practice, reconnect with yourself, or simply enjoy a peaceful escape. No prior experience in yoga or breathwork is necessary—just a willingness to show up for yourself and embrace the journey.
