Reclaim your next season of growth.
A collaborative retreat experience by Coaching Close to You, Jones by Design Coaching & Bela Colina
As the year begins to turn, we invite you to pause—with presence, with purpose. Set in the warm stillness of mid-autumn Portugal, this retreat is a space to come home to yourself before stepping into the next chapter.
Over four nourishing days, you’ll be guided through a blend of somatic coaching, NLP practices, movement, reflection, and deep rest. This is your time to slow down, to listen in, and to reconnect with what truly matters—so you can move into the new year grounded, clear, and recharged.
Whether you’re navigating change, craving space to breathe, or simply feeling called to reconnect with your inner rhythm, this retreat offers a soft landing—and a gentle beginning.
