This really is one of those pinch me moments….
Edo Edo (Edo & Jo) and I are teaming up to offer a 7 night stay at the magnificent Monte da Orada next year. It’s one I have been dreaming about for a while and it’s finally here.

A 7-night Yoga & Bhakti Retreat in the southern Algarve.

We can’t wait. All the details will be available soon, so for now, make sure you *join the waitlist* to be notified when booking goes live. It will guarantee first choice of rooms and an early bird offer.

Let’s come home together.

This is a practice that’s deeply personal. But when we gather in person, it becomes even more potent.
2027 retreat schedule dropping this week. DM me your email and I’ll add you to the list. 📩
I wonder if we could get President Fart to come?

It’s always there, the underlying and unchanging beingness, but it’s not always easy to access.
The drama of experience often eclipses the awareness of being. The veils of perception shrouding the light within as we get on with the business of our days.
But we can most certainly get glances beneath the veil. I like to think of these as portals, small cracks we can pass through, albeit momentarily, before the content of experience becomes the dominating force once more.
Portals could be many things, and I suspect that whilst there are commonalities, we will all have our own preferred ways.
For me, it’s:
🫁Pranayama
💃Flow movement
🎹 Harmonium
↔️ Lying down
🌳 Being in a forest
👩🏼🍼Snuggling my babies to sleep
🥰Being in the arms of my partner
What are your portals these days?
I’d love to know! Tell me in the comments 📩

What are we retreating from when we go to these places?
The daily grind?
The constant ‘on & available’ mode?
The noise?
The internet?
And what do we find when we get there?
Spaciousness?
Clarity?
Connection?
Grounded calm?
Restfulness?
Maybe, maybe not. Of course we bring it all with us, and that’s the point. Retreat time isn’t running away from life. Rather, it gifts you the opportunity to turn towards the things that maybe you have been pushing aside for later.
By turning towards those things, in a supportive, held environment, we can tend to them, with care and love.
Some things we leave behind, given back to mama earth. And the maybe we return to our daily lives with other things that feel more familiar and new.
I have a few retreat offerings - from a 1 day reset to a full deep dive week in the UK and in Portugal.
Make sure you are on my email list to receive all the details first (link in my bio).
