More market moments from the past month in Portugal, sourcing goodies & connecting with locals at Santa Cruz market 💚
Food just hits differently when the ingredients are grown locally and collected at their maximum peak 🎯

If social media is a supermarket, I am such a market lady. 💅

I post here so rarely, as life outside the interweb realms is asking to be fully lived. 🕺🏻

Yet, I am grateful for the inspiration, connection, wisdom, beauty & all the silly memes & jokes I get to experience here. 🤓

Here are some snippets by , .proko & from the Santa Cruz market in Portugal which is my favourite place for food shopping every time I’m at - be it retreats, surf camps or other always-surprising, ever-changing, mind&heart-expanding weeks. 💚

I choose markets for the quality & freshness ingredients and cherish the relationships with the local vendors whom I learn so much from along the way 🙃

Feeling grateful for those for those grow, for those whose sell, for those who cook, for those who eat, for those who gather all around the table, for those who share 💚 You know who you are 💚

…and for that which nurtures us all…🌱✨

Dear foodies, travellers, yogis & yoginis!

🚀 We are inviting you to join us for a retreat-like journey of health, gastronomy & self-discovery in Murcia, South-East Spain from 10th until 17th of October, 2025. 💖

It will be a one-week-long, well-balanced adventure with plenty of laughter & leisure as well as mindfulness, depth & exploration. ☯️

We will share, learn, grow, enjoy, connect, as we discover:
- Murcian mountains, valleys & seaside;
- Gardens, orchards & wineries;
- Charming towns as well as tucked away hidden gems;
- Mediterranean style living;
- Flamenco;
- Delicious flavours of various chefs;
- A local Michelin star restaurant;
- Movement & body practices;
- Thermal waters of a spa & sauna;
- and so much more of what ignites our hearts and make our eyes sparkle with joy & vitality… 🐾

We will pick you up at Alicante (or Murcia) airport and drop you off there at the end of the week; and we will take care of everything during this trip, so you can sit back, relax & surrender to the experience 🦦 (perhaps with doing some 10’000 steps some days too 😅)

Your guides & companions on this journey will be Inese .me.softly , Linda & Eliza 💚💚💚

If you would like to book your spot or learn more, drop either of us a message and we will tell you more! ✨
