W h e n w o m e n g a t h e r ;
courage is amplified , hearts are softened , alchemy is inevitable .
Everyday is slow in rhythm & sweet in nature …
Our mornings begin amongst the elements. We gather in the garden for gentle yoga, breath and meditation to settle our minds and open our bodies. Journaling prompts are offered as we find a peaceful corner to reflect and set our daily intentions, surrounded by the sounds of birds, frogs and breeze.
Breakfast is served. The sounds of delight begin to hum in the space as we break our morning silence.
We gather for our daily embodiment workshop, exploring the fullness of the feminine current. We will explore sensuality, love & grief rituals, intuitive dance, feminine archetypes, the alchemy of rage, and tender touch.
Lunch is bountiful and fresh - veggies sourced from our very own garden. We laugh and eat, bellies soft and round.
The afternoon rolls in and we do whatever we please. Laze by the pool, detox in the sauna, lounge in the garden’s many serene corners, play ping-pong, take a refreshing nap …
The sky turns pink and we meet again with a practice to deepen or soften into the day’s theme. This is an intuitive and explorative time to tend to the ebbs and flows of our shared process. It could be another embodied exploration, a sound bath, a sharing circle, a journaling workshop …
Dinner is delicious, and it’s followed by a ritual of rest to integrate the day’s journey. Bubble in the jacuzzi, drop into Yin yoga, play card games, snuggle on the comfy sofas, drink tea and share songs under the stars …
Yes, thank you, more please.
We are blessed to have this retreat in the utterly stunning and spacious sanctuary of Quinta Dimas.
The unique architecture of this space hums with the beauty and harmony between artistry and wildlife. Spanning across one-acre of land, there are abundant opportunities to discover new pockets of bliss.
A truly rejuvenating landscape.
Sparrows, cranes and dragonflies dot the pink skyline.The warm Algarve breeze carries the aroma of oranges and figs. White sand beaches line the coast, where we will enjoy a day out swimming, playing and trying local cuisine.
Faro Airport is conveniently located 40 minutes away, making your journey effortless as you arrive on May 27 and depart on June 1.

Lovingly guided by
Madalena Miles
Beloved women,
I am an embodiment guide, yoga teacher, kitchen dancer and lover of all that is real and alive. My guidance style is intuitive, playful, grounded and rhythmic. I am a student of Embodied Yoga, a neuroscience-backed movement technique for nervous system regulation, Sound Meditation, Yoga Nidra, plant medicines … and the wisdom of Love and Grief. The thread that weaves all of my passions and practices is nourishment, connection and a deep sense of trust in our ability to alchemise our energy.
I crave movement, rituals and connections that allows me to move and express in the ways I did before I felt watched - and that is the liberation woven into Home to Herself. I have been sharing this potent frequency with a growing community of women in London, and at the end of every event, they look at each other with clear eyes and open hearts and say, “Can we stay like this forever?” … so, lets begin here.
It is an honour to host this potent container on my Motherland of Portugal. I truly believe that the land we gather on shapes and supports our journey. This retreat is an ode to earthy women, who want to remember their power and their softness. Here we have a wide-open womb for the endless possibilities that arise when women gather. It is an honour for me to guide you, but in all honesty the true medicine is the unique constellation of women who say yes that co-create the vibrancy, the aliveness and the laughter. Thank you.
All my love,
MM x
