Lourinhã, Portugal · October 5–11, 2026 · 6–10 women only
A week for yourself
Six days on the Atlantic coast to slow all the way down, feel true sisterhood, and leave knowing anything is possible, with the clarity and guidance to go after what’s meant for you.
This is for you if
- Your life looks good on paper, but lately you feel a deep longing for more: more connection, more community, more freedom. And you don’t yet know what it could be or where to start.
- You’ve been living on autopilot and crave a real pause: time to disconnect, immerse yourself in nature and community, and put the focus back on you.
- You’ve been hustling and grinding for so long that a week just for yourself feels like a gift you keep putting off. This is you finally giving it to yourself.
- You feel a pull to dream bigger again, to step outside the life you’ve carefully built. Not because anything is wrong, but because you can feel there’s so much more to experience, to feel the magic again, and to create something of your own.
- You want to reconnect with your intuition and get clear on what you truly want in life. You’re open to learning spiritual tools like breathwork, journaling, yoga and meditation that you can take home with you, so you feel grounded when life gets busy again after the retreat.
- You’re ready to take your dreams seriously, in a room of women doing the same.

Lourinhã, Portugal
A quiet stretch of the Atlantic coast, an hour north of Lisbon. Whitewashed streets, wide open beaches, cliffs to walk at sunset, and hardly a crowd in October. I live in Portugal, so this is a coast I know and genuinely love. It is the kind of place that does half the work for you.
Your home for the week
A whitewashed surf house tucked into green hills a few minutes from the coast. Sun-filled rooms, a big open kitchen, a rooftop terrace for yoga and workshops, a pool to cool off in, and quiet corners everywhere to journal, nap, and breathe.
Your guide, Katja
Katja
Co-founder, Season of Self
I rebuilt my life around what actually felt true, and now I help other women do the same.
I hold the whole week: the yoga, breath, and somatic practices that bring you back into your body, the daily workshops on dharma and purpose, and the coaching that turns a feeling into a first real step.
Food as part of the ritual
Three home-cooked, farm-to-table meals a day from the private chef. Fresh, local, and vegetarian, built to nourish you from the inside out. Here, eating is connection and a way of coming back to yourself.
Feedback from previous retreats
“This retreat truly exceeded all expectations. It was such a special experience: a beautiful combination of slowing down, reconnecting with yourself, and growing stronger in who you are. I was able to reflect, gain new perspectives, and broaden my horizon, all while connecting with so many wonderful and inspiring women. The atmosphere throughout the entire experience felt incredibly genuine, warm, and supportive, and everyone felt completely comfortable, seen, and cared for from the very beginning. You could truly feel the passion and dedication behind every detail. I would book this again in a heartbeat.”
