Untamed Soul Retreat
Join us for 7 days (30.09.-07.10.) in the South of Portugal where the untamed ocean meets endless blue sky to connect with spirit and embody deep transformation. We’ll indulge in activating and restorative yoga sessions, coaching on self-love and inspired foods. Coupled with meditation and contemplation to rediscover the pleasures of living a life of aliveness.
In the in-between moments, we’ll adventure into the natural gifts of Portugal – from hiking and exploring fishing villages, to afternoons by the beach – in order to reconnect with the healing powers and presence of Mother Nature.
This full week untamed soul yoga retreat facilitated by our amazing teacher Aleks Kop is a beautiful self-care get-away into nature & sun with a like minded community. We believe that the most profound experiences happen in the community. From morning yoga & meditations to sunbathing, sea swimming and evening bonfires, we’ll journey together. Surrounded by nature and the breathtaking Atlantic coast of Portugal you will connect to yourself, you will nurture mind, body & soul and make unforgettable memories.
This retreat is a carefully curated wellbeing yoga retreat to connect to the subtle layers of body, mind and spirit with daily yoga sessions, meditation, breathwork, journaling exercises, coaching workshops and much more. There will also be plenty of time to relax and recharge, and spend time with the community or just with yourself while exploring the untouched beaches of Portugal’s south-west coast. Expect to come out of this retreat feeling a deep sense of inner peace and freedom, energized, inspired, luminously alive and confident to share your gifts with the world.
The retreat will take place at Cocoon Portugal, a secluded and beautiful 275 acre coastal farm, where between the oversized hammocks and the coastal bluffs, you’ll start to lose track of time. The ocean, with bluffs, trails, and sandy coves, is a 15 minute drive away.
You will be served a healthy and delicious vegetarian diet with most of the produce coming from either the farm itself, or a nearby farm.
Get ready for an unforgettable experience of self-care, community and connection. We can’t wait to meet you there!
