Sintra Portugal Immersion
September 21 - 26 2026
Every immersion we host is designed with intention, from the atmosphere we create to the way each day flows.
Five Nights, Eight Women
There comes a season when life is full and yet something inside asks for more.
More meaning.
More space.
More truth.
It is transition.
It is evolution.
A quiet knowing that the next chapter is forming and that it deserves time, attention, and care.
This five-night immersion in Sintra, Portugal, was created for women standing in that in-between space, accomplished, capable, and ready to pause long enough to hear what is emerging next.
The Setting
We will gather in the lush, coastal hills of Sintra — a place known for its forests, Atlantic air, historic castles, and deeply calming energy.
From the moment you are collected in Lisbon, everything is taken care of.
Accommodation, beautiful meals, daily experiences, curated activities, your only responsibility is to arrive and allow yourself to be held.
This is an intentionally intimate experience:
Eight women.
Four pairs of friends.
A private and carefully curated environment.
The Rhythm of Our Days
Each day is thoughtfully structured to create both inward space and outward enjoyment.
Mornings
Immersion Into Self
Our mornings are devoted to gentle inner work.
• Light movement or gentle exercise
• Guided meditation and reflective practices
• Facilitated conversation and connection
• Spacious time for journaling, creativity and introspection
This is where clarity begins to surface.
Through creativity, through presence and through creating the space to listen to your inner wisdom.
We will curate the bespoke depth and tone of the experience in response to the women in the group.
The immersion reflects the collective of those who gather.
Afternoons & Evenings
Immersion Into Place
As the day unfolds, we expand outward.
• Cultural visits through Sintra’s historic villages
• Exploring the castles and coastal landscapes
• Visits to local markets
• Portuguese cooking experiences
• Shared meals featuring regional food and wine
• Optional massages and restorative treatments
These moments are an important part of the inner work, as inner work, joy, learning and creativity create a whole person.
Pleasure. Beauty. Slowness. Conversation. Creativity.
The simple joy of experiencing something new in good company.
Our Roles
This immersion is held by two experienced women who bring complementary depth and presence.
Andrea is a German-born wellness practitioner who lived in Australia for over a decade and now resides in Portugal. She has a natural gift for creating beautifully curated retreat environments that feel both grounding and expansive. Her experience in wellness facilitation and hospitality, combined with her deep connection to place, ensures that every element — from setting and nourishment to cultural immersion and restorative experiences — is thoughtfully designed and seamlessly held.
Sally integrates design, creativity, and meditative practice in her work with women navigating transition. With over three decades of experience shaping environments and guiding reflective processes, she understands how atmosphere and intention support meaningful clarity. Over the past eight years, she has deepened her practice in meditation facilitation and immersive creative inquiry, gently guiding women to reconnect with their inner wisdom and articulate what is emerging in their next chapter.
Together, we offer a beautifully structured yet spacious immersion where women can pause, recalibrate, and move forward with calm clarity.
Who this is for
Women who feel they are in an in-between season or a transition.
Women who have achieved, and are now asking deeper questions.
Women who sense that their next chapter deserves intention rather than urgency.
There is no pressure.
Only the possibility of five days that may quietly shift everything.
Looking within, creativity, culture, conversation, local food, history, surrounded by nature and like minded people.
If you feel quietly drawn to this experience, we invite you to reach out..
This immersion is intentionally intimate, and we are sharing it personally.
If you feel the pull, and if there is a friend you would want beside you, we would love to hear from you.
A conversation is simply a beginning, nothing more.
