During this extraordinary retreat in the magnificent Azores, we will find our North Star with a grounding foundation of mindful movement, meditation, manifestation as well as various transformative workshops. Each day will bring a new experience, adventure and connection with nature, locals, yourself and our group on a deep and authentic level.
Through the unique vortex energy of this special place along with its culture, your senses and experiences, you will awaken parts of yourself that have been dormant for way too long. You will leave with a deeper sense of identity by working to align yourself with your values, desires and purpose. Return home with a renewed version of yourself and the confidence and tools to continue to transform, reinvent and create wholeness and a new dimension for your self and your life.
