UnRetreat 2026: São Miguel, Azores October 21–28, 2026

After I left my career in financial services, I had the opportunity to travel the world as a nomad. Today, I have the great pleasure of hosting women in the places I fell in love with during these travels.

I’m excited to share that the 2026 UnRetreat will take place on the remarkable island of São Miguel in the Azores.

For those unfamiliar, São Miguel is a Portuguese island that sits in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, and is known for its volcanic landscapes, thermal springs, crater lakes, and ancient forests. It is a place shaped by powerful natural elements — fire, water, air, and earth — and the result is both dramatic and deeply calming.

The UnRetreat is intentionally different from a traditional retreat. It is not about productivity, performance, or optimization.
It is about space.
Space to slow down.
Space to think clearly.
Space to regulate the nervous system.
Space to reconnect to what matters.

Over seven days, participants will experience:
• Restorative yoga and Yoga Nidra
• Nature immersion, hikes and reflective practices
• Thermal hot spring visits
• Guided group conversations
• Unstructured time for integration and rest

In a world that feels increasingly fast and complex, intentional pause is not indulgent — it’s strategic. The quality of our work, relationships, and decision-making depends on the quality of our inner state.

Space is limited to 10 max to maintain depth and intimacy (we are 50% sold out)

If you are interested in learning more, feel free to message me with your email address and I will send you all the details and pricing options.

Sometimes the most powerful move forward begins with stepping away.
I look forward to spending slow time with you in the Azores.

Deep gratitude to Anne Fraser owner of Free Bird Yoga for opening your sanctuary space and inviting me in. Teaching tonight reminded me how much we all need moments of stillness and deep rest.

If you are physically, mentally, emotionally TIRED… or if you’re simply curious about restorative practices, come join me on Monday evenings. Bring your weary heart, your busy mind, your stiff shoulders — we’ll breathe, unwind, and reset together.
