About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

You’re here now, and we’re so grateful for that. Go ahead and take a really slow, deep breath. Imagine you’re 6 years old again- no, really, maybe close the eyes to better tap into that for a moment. You’re running freely and safely through the woods, the sunlight dancing in between the canopy of the tress, the earth beneath your bare feet and the smell of fresh air across your face. You have no worries as you pick up little treasures along the way and hum a made up song for the whole world to hear. You move your body any which way it wants to flow, all while making new friends and experiences effortlessly- because you are rooted so deeply in presence. Lucia and Sam invite you to, yes a retreat away from the every day requests of life, but more so the gift of returning to play, authentic connection and exploring this power of presence.

Flow & Flourish is an intentionally crafted yoga retreat built upon the belief that playfulness, curiosity and passion can freely coexist with the every day demands of modern living. We believe that by harnessing our own individual creativity and feeling more aligned in our truth, we can flourish into the best, most loving, compassionate and abundant versions of ourselves! This retreat is an invitation to all who are craving deeper connection within themselves and their world- a place where you are welcomed, celebrated and may return to the simple joy of *having fun*! Lucia and Sam are honored and ready to lovingly guide you through this rejuvenating, yet practical retreat.

This 5 day, 4 night reset will be filled with sunrises and sunsets amongst the stunning northern Portugal landscape of Montaria. We will flow with the elements of nature, embodying them in what we share, create, do and learn. Multi-style, daily yoga classes with guided (& unique!) meditations, nourishing vegetarian meals, in-depth workshops, waterfall hiking, creativity stations to to make art, dance & sing, are just some of the activities that will consume our precious time together. Be sure to check out the sample itinerary below. Laughter, love, & self-acceptance will be at the heart of everything we do- the only ask of you is to choose *you* and the return to your essence. We cannot wait to support and hold you in this space!
