The retreat

Slow down, reconnect, and bring your creativity back to life

Seven days at a beautiful guest house near the coastal village of Aljezur, designed to help you slow down, reconnect and bring your creativity back to life.

Whether you're a business owner, marketing manager, creative director or IT professional, creativity is a powerful part of how we think, solve problems, innovate and navigate life. We all perform at our best when our creativity is given the space to expand and flow freely.

Each morning begins with breathwork, meditation and Qi Gong, creating space in the body and mind before moving into a day of creative exploration, playful experimentation and connection.

Through life drawing, photography, collage, ceramics, recycled art and performance, you'll be invited to experiment, play, see differently and express what wants to come through you.

Along the way, we'll share delicious vegan and vegetarian meals, deep conversations, moments in nature and inspiring performances, working towards an open-house exhibition where we gather to celebrate and share what has been created during our time together.

Who is it for?

For people ready to expand beyond their current way of thinking, creating and living

Whether you're a business owner, entrepreneur, creative professional, marketing manager, IT professional, artist, or simply someone standing at the edge of a new chapter, this experience is an invitation to create space for something more.

We believe that when we slow down, reconnect with ourselves and open our creative channels, new perspectives become available. Creativity expands consciousness, and expanded consciousness creates new possibilities.

Through Qi Gong, meditation, artistic exploration, connection and extraordinary experiences, we invite you to step outside your habitual patterns, access new perspectives and reconnect with the part of you that knows how to imagine, create and grow.

You don't need to be an artist. You don't need previous experience. You simply need curiosity, openness and a willingness to explore what becomes possible when you give yourself permission to expand.

Come to reset your perspective, unlock new ideas and create the conditions for exponential growth: personally, creatively and professionally.
