Medicine Woman
new dates for 2025 coming soon
you are the medicine
Explore the way of sacred living as a Medicine Woman,
who exists in harmony with nature, others and the Self.
It is the path of healing, beauty, reverence and empowerment
“Heal yourself with the light of the sun and the rays of the moon.
With the sound of the river and the waterfall.
With the swaying of the sea and the fluttering of birds.
Heal yourself with mint, neem and eucalyptus.
Sweeten with lavender, rosemary and chamomile.
Hug yourself with cocoa beans and a hint of cinnamon.
Put love in tea instead of sugar and drink it looking at the stars.
Heal yourself with the kisses the wind gives you and the hugs of the rain.
Stand strong with your bare feet on the ground and with everything that comes from it.
Be smarter every day by listening to your intuition, looking at the world with your forehead.
Jump, dance, sing, so that you live happier.
Heal yourself, with beautiful love and always remember…You are the medicine.”
- Maria Sabina, Mexican healer and poet.
our intention
We would love to guide you back to the essence of your free, wild and authentic self. Through a unique combination of feminine embodiment, sacred rituals, somatic practices, specialized workshops, mindfulness practices, voice activation, ceremonies and medicinal food. In a deeply nourishing space of sisterhood we can step into the journey of self discovery and begin to heal ourselves, and the world around us.
rewild yourself to slow down and reconnect with the rhythm and cycles of nature, from macrocosm to microcosm.
Nature will be the catalyst for connecting to your true self and your medicine within you. Because no one but yourself is the source of your healing.
✧ Honor the natural cycles of your body, knowing there are times for action and for rest, times for creation and silence, times for contemplation and inner work.
✧ Connecting with the moon cycles and seasons helps us to stay in touch with our inner cycles and rhythms.
✧ Share your deepest truths as your deepest medicine, while held in authentic and loving sisterhood.
✧ Activate your senses in the lush and bountiful nature of Portuguese Spring. Become more attuned with your sensitivity and carefully listen to what nature has to tell you. ✧ Revive your connection to nature and find a more aligned and full version of yourself.
✧ Empowering yourself by tapping into your own truth.
✧ Remove the blockages which hold you back from seeing all your gifts and using your full potential, which is waiting to be awakened.
Through food we will guide you to awaken all of your senses and to connect with the natural intelligence of your body. The magician, Anna, will be creating medicinal food for you, with spices and herbs, fresh, organic, and cooked with love.
Every meal is a piece of art, a banquet of beauty and abundance.
We serve a nourishing vegan and gluten-free menu, combining local and seasonal ingredients.
food as medicine
food is our sacred language through which we communicate
daily program
We step into the journey in silence to connect with each other beyond words. We will start with an opening ceremony to give honor to all elements and guides supporting us on our healing journey. We will enter the container of a safe and supportive container and share all our intentions.
Each day will start with a gentle wake up followed up by morning practice, through authentic movement, conscious breathing and meditation. This will be a journey inward, and a unique experience for the healing journey of each of us. Shedding different layers day by day and moving towards the true essence of ourselves.
On each day there will be a different theme and element which will guide us through workshops and practices – elements of earth, fire, water, and air.

to us, this retreat means...
… stepping into our power and authentic self.
… to be who we truly are despite how society wants us to be.
… to honor our whole-body and prioritize our needs.
… to leave behind what is not aligned with us.
… to sing and dance without fear to be judged.
… to live free and untamed.
