Who is This Retreat For?
This retreat is for those who feel ready to get curious, and explore their practice - ready to learn, play, explore and grow.
To those who are ready to show up together, create community and step into a big, bold 4 nights of practice.
All levels and experiences are very welcome .All I need from you is an open heart, curiosity to learn, and the readiness to explore.
This is not a luxury retreat, but instead one where we can drop into deep practice together. Focusing on connection, simplicity and coming home.
A Temezcal Sweatlodge is a ceremony that changed my life, and working with Robyn and Ahau has been a privilege, however , sweat lodges are not glamorous or luxury spaces! But one's in which we show up to do the work and connect with the womb of Mother Earth together.
I recommend reflecting on if this feels like the right space for you, and doing a little research on these ceremonies if unsure.
If you have any questions, or would like to find out more about what a sweat lodge is and if it's for you - you can book a discovery call, or find out more about Robyn and Ahau's work HERE
We create a magic community together, and a space to connect, laugh, cry grow, and step in together

TRAVEL: HOW DO I GET TO AND FROM THE SHANTI SPACE:
Worried about travel? Don’t be - I’ve got you!
You just need to organise your flight to Lisbon, and we can help arrange a taxi from there if you need (or you can book yourself, whichever you prefer).
The Shanti Space is just 40 minutes drive from the airport, so really easy to get to :)
New to Retreats & Curious.....but Apprehensive?
Mate, I've GOT you!
It's always a bit intimidating stepping in for the first time to a space with a new community, often coming on your own.
I've got you all the way - know you'll be well cared for, and have the opportunity to step out of your comfort zone in a safe, joyful way, and have the opportunity to make some new connections, and create some lifetime memories. We'll be in a small group, so a real chance to connect & create a magic community.
....I was terrified going on my first retreat back in 2022, and I still send 20 minute voice notes monthly to the gorgeous girl Emma, who I shared a room with. We've remained close friends ever since, and I am so grateful I said yes.
FEEDBACK FROM RETREATS:
"I don’t even know how to put into words how incredible last night was. I have to keep pinching myself today that it actually happened and all of those feelings and experiences I felt are real. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating such a beautiful space, for bringing such amazing women together, and for all of your love, kindness, and care throughout the breath work session. I really felt your calming support and felt safe to really open up. I didn’t want it to end and wanted to stay in that space forever. Thank you
"Thank you so so much for last night; I have never experienced something so deeply powerful and life altering. It also reminded me of how lucky I am to be a woman, something I had forgotten. It was so empowering and bonding, I was honestly ready to run into battle with you all in a moments notice But honestly, you have created a deeply safe space, every aspect has been so thoughtfully designed. Thank you also for what you gave us last night. I got 10x times more out of last night then any counselling session I have had in the past; it really was magic.
"What an experience. Joyful, transformative, and everything was thought for...I was quite nervous as it was my first retreat, but felt like I could just really trust I was in safe hands. One of the best experiences of my life. Also GREAT food, music, and so much laughter"
