Portugal: The Coastal Escape
Travel. Restore. Connect.
October 15-22, 2026
Ericeira, Portugal
Nestled in a charming, European coastal town, with breathtaking ocean views
Our Purpose & Intention
This retreat is designed to give women the freedom to explore, play and experience Portugal in a safe, inspiring and luxurious way. Over the course of a week, you'll wander charming coastal towns, visit castles, spend a day in Lisbon, and enjoy workshops that foster connection, growth, and self-discovery.
Our intention is to create a space where women can travel boldly, try new experiences, and feel fully supported in a group of incredible, like-minded women. Through exploration, laughter, and reflection, this retreat is about learning to love yourself, expand your horizons, and return home with unforgettable memories and a renewed sense of confidence.
A Taste of Europe
Think: Hilltop coastal views, historic castles, cobblestone streets, Lisbon adventures, seaside sunsets, charming local cafes.
