RETURN TO SELF
Yoga & Art Retreat
1 - 6 May 2025
Intention
Join me in this intimate space of being where we will together dive into exploration of our bodies, minds and souls.
Expressing yourself through movement and art, you will be tuning into your physical, mental, emotional and spirtual self while staying connected to the present moment. My intention is to remind you of your true nature, to remind you of your power, to present you with tools and confidence to listen to your inner self, so you can make conscious choices as you move on your mat and as you go through your life off the mat.
Our genetic systems are encoded with the knowledge of creation, the knowledge about ourselves. The role of art, yoga and other practices is to simply awaken us to that knowledge, awaken us to our limitless, spaceless, timeless selves.
Remember your essence, connect with your inner wisdom by joining me on this beautiful journey through nature, yoga and art.
A journey that will empower you to find your way home.
Villa & Location
Villa Epicurea is located in the evergreen landscape of the Serra da Arrábida Natural Park in Portugal, about 40km south of Lisbon. It’s a stunningly beautiful place that combines sustainability, comfort and design. Surrounded by wild and unspoilt nature, bathed by the ocean breeze and blessed by unreal sunsets, you will be invited to pause, reconnect and harmonize your body, mind and soul.

How to arrive at the venue?
There are several different ways of arriving at the venue. The most economical one is to use public transport or to simply take an Uber with other participants arriving at similar times. We create a Whatsapp Group to help you with that.
Some people prefer to rent a car so they have more freedom exploring the surroundings either before or after the retreat. I’m happy to give you more information regarding rentals if needed.
What kinds of activities are included in the art workshops?
A local artist will guide you through the creative process, exploring a wide range of media and techniques. Each retreat is a unique experience, focusing on different forms of artistic expression. From painting and sculpting to printmaking and mixed media, we encourage participants to experiment with new materials and approaches. This variety ensures that every retreat offers something fresh and inspiring, allowing you to continuously discover and develop your creative potential.
Art workshops are ultimately designed to challenge and deconstruct our beliefs and ideas about creativity—what it means to be creative, who qualifies as an artist, and how to create from a place of authenticity. Both art and yoga will be used as tools for introspection and personal growth, providing a unique opportunity to explore and acknowledge parts of yourself that may have been ignored or forgotten. Through this process, you can reconnect with these hidden aspects, nurturing yourself from the inside out and fostering a deeper sense of self-awareness and creativity.
I'm new to yoga. Can I still participate in the retreat?
Absolutely! Yoga classes are open to participants of all experience levels, including complete beginners. I always provide modifications and variations to ensure that everyone, regardless of their experience or ability, can participate comfortably and benefit from the practice. You don’t need any prior yoga (or art) experience to join us—just an open mind and a willingness to learn and explore.
