In this exclusive retreat for women, we invite you to immerse yourself in the wisdom of the autumn season, a time of transition, reflection and surrendering. Autumn teaches us the importance of letting go, releasing what no longer serves us, and preparing the inner ground for the nourishment and care needed to face the winter.

​

The Wisdom of Autumn

​Autumn is a time of transformation, where nature shows us the beauty of release. Leaves fall, creating a fertile space for the new.

This retreat is an opportunity to reflect on what you need to let go, releasing what does not contribute to your well-being, give space to your being just to be, and relax and creating space for growth and renewal.

Together, let us slow down, breathe deeply, gain deep body awareness and rediscover the magic of autumn as we journey inward and reconnect with the essence of who we are

Throughout the weekend you will be guided to embrace the Autumn 's energy of release and surrender, we will invite introspection and self-discovery, allowing ourselves to shed that which no longer serves us and make space for new growth, intentions and possibilities.

​

"We believe in the power of sisterhood, support, and the healing energies of nature."

Macrobiotic Cooking class & Food as Energy :

Macrobiotic cooking emphasizes balance and harmony with nature, focusing on whole grains, vegetables, and natural foods for health and well-being. Rooted in traditional Oriental dietary principles, it fosters mindful eating and a connection to the seasons. Our women's retreat will feature a cooking class on macrobiotic principles, highlighting autumn energy.

The session will focus on seasonal foods and techniques that support the lungs and large intestine, organs associated with autumn in traditional Chinese medicine. Participants will learn to incorporate warming, nutrient-dense foods to strengthen the body's defenses and promote vitality. This class offers culinary skills and insight into aligning diet with nature's rhythms for optimal health.

Practices of Letting Go & Relaxation

​Through guided meditations we will work on the process of letting go as the autumn and surrender into our bodies where we can relax deeply in a safe space releasing what you need in a gentle way and creating a lighter and more receptive inner space.

Yoga & Pranayana

During our women's retreat, daily yoga classes and pranayama sessions will align with the essence of autumn, symbolizing letting go and introspection. These practices will include introspective asanas for inner peace and clarity, and pranayama techniques to observe breath, fostering calm and balance. Together, they will release stagnant energy, creating space for clarity and new beginnings. This combination will prepare the nervous system for autumn's natural slowing down and encourage reconnection with your purest self.

Earth Rituals

​A ritual gives you the opportunity to infuse your actions with intention and meaning, so that you move through life with a sense of purpose.

They will bring deep moments of inner connection, inner journey through a very unique blending of the elements of nature, reflections about existence and deep inspirations that aim to create a environment into the depth of human layers till we meet the beauty of inner reflexion and melting into the sacredness of nature.

Rituals have always been used as a way to awaken this deeper connection to our most intimate being, observing the constant changes in nature, we recognize our own life cycles, our own rhythms as human beings.

​Rituals remind us of the interconnectedness of all life.

Our Beautiful Venue

Zeebarn

Zee Barn is an Eco project located 15 north from Ericeira. It was born out of a love for living simply in balance with Mother Nature but also out of a need for an integrative and functional way of life. A system through which a community of people and other life forms can live in synchronicity with each other. A permaculture example of how the land can be restored, soil can be rejuvenated, eco-systems can be resuscitated, structures can be integrated, water can be harnessed, trees can live in symbiosis and human beings can become land collaborative stewards in a process where our actions leave a conscious positive impact on nature. Zee Barn is a restorative dimension. It calls out to those who feel that it’s time to re-connect with their like minded beings, find inner peace, get inspired and rejuvenate themselves. www.zeebarn.com
