Summary
This retreat is a pause. A chance to gently step away from the pressure, the noise, and the endless giving of daily life and remember the woman underneath it all.
The one who feels deeply, moves instinctively, and longs for connection to herself, others, and nature.
Set on Portugal’s wild Atlantic coast, we’re excited to organize this 6-day Women’s Rewilding Retreat as a space to rest, breathe, and reconnect.
With practices that soothe the nervous system and tune into your body’s natural rhythm, like yoga, movement, song, silence, and shared sisterhood, you’ll begin to feel yourself again.
We’ll focus on regulating your system, understanding why so many women feel burnout from their daily life, and reconnecting you with your intuition, self belief, sensuality and creativity.
You don’t need to do anything here. You just need to show up as you are.
Let this be the place you stop holding it all together.
Let this be the space where something softer begins.
Because when we, women, gather in safety and presence, something ancient stirs.
A remembering. Of who we are. Of how it feels to be held. Of the strength that lives in softness.
Close to nature’s pulse we create remembrance of the feminine rhythm. Come home to yourself. Come home to the true, wild woman within and hear her roar.
What Makes This Retreat Special
A sense of having truly returned to yourself.
It’s not just a week away; it’s a shift in how you relate to your inner world.
We’ll work on nervous system and hormone regulation, stress relief, boundary setting, emotional regulation and communication.
We’ll soften into honouring your own rhythm, your creativity, sensuality and the divine feminine power that’s simmering away inside, ready to bubble over.
We’ll approach the retreat in a deeply intentional way, built on trust, gentleness, and realness.
You don’t have to perform, explain, or prove anything. Just be 100% you.
You may arrive feeling scattered or depleted, but leave feeling nourished, clear, and reconnected to a part of yourself that you haven’t heard from in a long time. And with a tool box filled with resources on how to carry that back home into your daily life.
There’s a quiet magic in this kind of space. A mix of nature, ritual, sisterhood, and the courage to slow down… that stays with you long after you leave.
The Retreat Experience
What if the next level of your strength isn’t in pushing harder but in finally letting yourself soften?
Eszter and Charlotte created this retreat for one reason:
Because too many brilliant, capable women are living almost entirely from the neck up.
Functioning. Delivering. Holding it all together.
…while something deeper in the body has been quietly waiting to be met.
This retreat is an invitation to step into a space where you are safely held, so you can finally meet the more sensual, intuitive, alive parts of yourself that don’t get much room in everyday life.
This retreat tends to call 3 kinds of women:
- Women already walking a conscious path – who feel ready to go deeper, stretch their current edges, and experience themselves in a more embodied, intimate way.
- Women who know they’ve been running on the wrong fuel for too long – and are actively searching for a more sustainable way to live and lead.
- Women who don’t yet know how to stop the momentum… but feel a quiet curiosity about what might happen if they did.
If something in you just leaned in… you’re probably closer than you think.
Across six days together, we guide you through carefully held experiences designed to gently open the body and the nervous system.
Practices that will:
✨ awaken your senses
✨ tease you back into feeling
✨ and invite a level of intimacy with yourself – and the women around you – that many quietly crave for years
All supported by beautiful accommodation, deeply nourishing meals, and spacious time to rest and integrate in a dreamlike setting.
Nothing forced.
But very real.
We’ll gather on the wild Atlantic coast of Ericeira. A place where the ocean, the wind, and the open landscape naturally soften your edges.
Held by nature.
Held in sisterhood.
Held long enough…to explore something new inside yourself and to bring it all back home with you.
✨ 9–14 May · Ericeira, Portugal ✨

What to Expect
We’ll have beautiful, carefully considered, and curated practices throughout our retreat to help open and soothe the body, mind, and soul.
The daily schedule will look something like the one below. However, each session may shift or change depending on the group’s needs as we progress through the retreat.
On the arrival day, check-in is from 4 pm. We’ll start with a welcome circle at 5 pm, dinner at 6.30 pm, and gentle evening movement before bed.
On departure day, we’ll have our morning practice as usual, a slightly earlier brunch, and our fond farewells by 11 a.m.
Whilst no part of the retreat is 100% obligatory, we will work through a specific program built to act as a wave during the 6 days. I actively encourage you to attend all activities to reap the benefits of the full experience.
Here’s an idea of what we’ll get up to.
- Connection: Meet women from all around the world and connect over shared life experiences.
- Yoga & Meditation: Slow, steady, embodied flows to bring you home to your breath, your body, your being. Whether you’re newer to yoga and meditation or have an established practice, you’ll find a welcoming space that meets you exactly where you are.
- Movement & dance: Shake off the weight of expectation and drop deeper into your primal wisdom. Release expectations of what dance “should” look like and feel them in your true expression.
- Self-Reflection & Intimacy Practices: Unravel the layers and explore what it means to be seen. By yourself and by others. Truly seen.
- Silent Sunset Meditation Walk: Along Portugal’s dramatic cliffs, witnessing the ocean and sky melt into each other.
- A Day in Silence: A day of deep reflection and rest. This can be a powerful way of really listening to what is coming up for you during the retreat and beyond.
- Music and Voice: By activating the voice and singing together, we combine shifting and moving energy to connect to sisterhood through song.
- Deep Rest: Permission to pause. Permission to receive. Permission to let your entire being rest.
- Wild Ocean Swims: Weather and waves permitting! A baptism of sorts. Water is the mirror of the feminine soul. Let the ocean awaken something ancient within you.
- Nourishment: Locally sourced, hearty, delicious vegetarian meals, crafted to replenish and restore.
Your Facilitators
Charlotte
Originally from the UK and now living on the wild west coast of Portugal, Charlotte has spent over twenty years walking an embodied path with yoga. What began in her late teens as a grounding physical practice evolved into a deep commitment to self-inquiry, shaped by studies across multiple lineages, drawing mainly from Vinyasa and Traditional Tantra through asana, meditation, mantra, and pranayama.
Experiencing burnout in London and longing for a different pace of life, she has embraced the concept of slow living and weaves this into her teachings. Teaching since 2016, with further training in Ayurvedic Yoga Massage, Prenatal and Yin Yoga, her work is infused with a love of music, voice, dance, and time spent in India. Guided by authenticity, kindness, and curiosity, Charlotte’s teaching invites a return to the body: finding centre, truth, and spaciousness amid the wildness of modern life.
Eszter
Originally from Hungary, Eszter now spends much of her time between Portugal and Spain, drawn to the ocean, light, and a slower rhythm of living. With a lifelong connection to dance and movement, what began in childhood as expression gradually evolved into a deeper exploration of embodiment, intuition, and the wisdom of the subtle body.
After years working across corporate, startup, and humanitarian environments, burnout led her to shift from performance and constant push toward listening, presence, and a more feminine way of leading life and work. Blending coaching, somatic practices, and chakra dance, she supports women in transition to reconnect with their bodies, restore balance, and move through change with clarity and self-trust.
Guided by warmth, presence, and a deep respect for each woman’s natural pace, Eszter creates spaces where intuition can lead and lasting change can unfold.
Food
Each day you’ll be served two abundant, nourishing meals: a slow, grounding brunch and a wholesome, soul-warming dinner, with fruit available in between.
Every dish is vegetarian and made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients and thoughtfully prepared to support your body’s natural rhythms and your retreat experience.
We can cater for gluten free and vegan dietary requirements upon request.
More than just food, these meals are part of the care you’ll receive here.
Cooked with love and intention by the wonderful Casa Paco D’Ilhas team, they offer your body what it truly needs: replenishment and deep support.
You’ll leave the table feeling satisfied and tenderly cared for.
Location
Our retreat is set in Casa Paço D’Ilhas, Ericeira, Portugal.
Located on a beautiful hilltop overlooking the stunning ocean and rugged cliffs of Ericeira on one side, and the lush countryside of Santo Isodoro on the other.
Wake up surrounded by nature, both the crisp morning birdsong in the green oasis of the garden, and the distant sound of breaking waves when a good swell hits our shores.
Located just a short drive away from Ericeira, a traditional Portuguese fishing village that has been catering for tourism for over eight centuries, but always managed to maintain its original character, symbolized by its pretty labyrinth of windswept streets that whisper tales of seafaring adventures.
This rugged and beautiful stretch of coast is the perfect place to reconnect with nature, soothe your chattering mind, and find the wild woman within you.
