Being HER Retreat
Imagine being HER and living as the woman on your vision board for an entire week…. and then taking her home
Imagine waking up in a sun-drenched Portuguese village, surrounded by rolling hills, ancient vines, and the sound of horses in the fields below. No schedule to manage. No performance to maintain. Just you, a small circle of beautifully real women, and seven days to fully inhabit yourself.
This week is our gift to you, to release the pressure that's been quietly building and in this pause, reconnect with the body that's been patiently waiting. We express, we laugh, we feel, we rest... and we return you home with vibrant energy, deep clarity, and the knowledge that she was always there.We your hosts, Jana, Kim, Selma, and Bron have also been there. Pushing through, thinking we had to be a certain version of us to survive. Which is why we’re so deeply passionate to support other women on this journey of remembering and returning home to the self.
The woman you're becoming is waiting for you in Portugal.
The pillars of the retreat
Feminine Energy
A rhythm that breathes. Structured enough to hold you, open enough to let you unfold. Our Feminine Energy workshop and our daily circle guide you between doing and being, so you remember what it feels like to move through life without forcing it.
Sisterhood
You'll be held by a small circle of women who see you… really see you - and cheer you on without an agenda. No performing or pretending. Just the rare, deep relief of being witnessed exactly as you are.
Creative Exploration
This is permission to create without a goal - no "good" or "bad," just expression. Whether it's paint, paper, or something entirely your own, you'll reconnect with the part of you that simply makes things because it feels alive.
Somatic Release
This is where the body gets to release what it's been carrying. Emotion that's been stored, postponed, or pushed down finally has somewhere to go - gently, safely, and at your own pace.
What our clients say…
“The time feels different in Maceira with Jana. As if it would stop for a week and you get to be fully present.”
“I now understand myself on a completely different level. Life feels lighter, clearer, and more aligned than ever before.”
“It gave me so many breakthroughs in my life that I’d been struggling with for a long time.”
“I can’t begin to explain how surreal it felt not thinking about food all the time”
“She is sooo positive and smily! She sees light where I can’t find any myself.”
The retreat for women who know there is more to life than checking boxes.

15.00 - 19.00 Arrive in the lovely little village Maceira just a 40min drive north of Lisbon’s Airport. We will spend the first afternoon & evening getting to know each other, the accommodation and the area. There will be a welcome dinner and our first evening circle.
-
After a slow morning meditation, we begin our journey into feminine energy and what it means to live from a place of trust, intuition, and self-worth. The afternoon is yours to rest, explore the village, or simply do nothing at all. We gather again in the evening for a beautiful shared dinner, a glass of wine, and our daily circle.
-
Today we explore Feminine Flow Eating — a new way of relating to food, your body, and your inner wisdom. Through conversation, reflection, and practical tools, you'll begin reconnecting with the body's natural signals and rhythms. After a spacious afternoon, we come together once again for dinner, wine, and our evening circle.
-
We spend the morning connecting through food, nourishment, and gut health in a relaxed cooking demonstration. Later, we venture out for a beautiful ocean afternoon and shared sunset dinner by the ocean, and sharing our evening reflections.
-
Following a gentle yoga session, we dive into the world of somatics and nervous system healing. This workshop is an invitation to move beyond the mind and reconnect with the wisdom held within the body. The afternoon is left spacious for rest and integration before another long dinner table, meaningful conversations, and our evening circle.
-
Our last full day together, begins with journaling and reflection before moving into a creative exploration workshop designed to help you express what you've discovered throughout the week. In the evening, we'll celebrate together at a local winery, sharing good food, wine, laughter, and one final evening circle.
-
Our final morning is a chance to savour the last moments together. We gather one final time before sharing a farewell breakfast and saying our goodbyes.
Over the past week, you've stepped away from the noise of everyday life and into a deeper connection with yourself. You arrived as one woman and leave as HER; with greater clarity, self-trust, beautiful friendships, and the reminder that everything you were searching for was already within you.

Retreat Info
-
The Being HER Retreat is for women who have achieved so much, have a lot to be grateful for… yet still feel empty. From the outside everyone sees a dream life, but you long for more energy, more balance and a connection back to your inner spark.
This retreat is for women feeling exhausted, empty and disconnected, longing to hang up all the responsibilities to everyone else and just be taken care of.
Our retreat is perfect for women who are ready to take a deep breath and let the daily pressures subside whilst feeling fully supported.
Nothing is lighting you up from the inside. Something feels off, and you know there’s more. You know there is untapped potential, but you don’t know what it is. You long to be with likeminded, supportive women and having the kind of friendships where you all dare to have big audacious dreams.We know you do everything, because if you don’t, no-one else will.
That’s why you’re longing for someone else to take over the organization. Which is why from the moment you get to the airport, to the moment you leave, you don’t have to think about anything. -
Between the vineyards of the Lisbon countryside lies a small village in a valley where time moves more slowly. We will stay in a mediterranean style villa, a beautifully renovated wine cellar with bright rooms, natural stone walls and an outdoor living area overlooking the lush countryside.
It is the perfect location for our Being HER retreat, because it offers everything needed to detach from the old and make space for the new, opening the door for HER, the version of yourself that is waiting to be discovered. -

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Each day has a gentle rhythm - morning movement (yoga or meditation), a workshop or circle session, free time to rest or explore, and shared meals together. There's structure, but also plenty of space to simply be. Nothing is mandatory; if you need to skip something and rest instead, that's welcome too.
-
More than okay, most women arrive solo. By day two, you won't remember a time you didn't know each other. The retreat is designed to create connection naturally, through circle, shared meals, and simply living alongside each other for a week.
-
That's completely normal, and you're not expected to "perform" healing or share more than feels right. Everything is invitation-based - you can participate at whatever depth feels safe for you, and the facilitators are experienced in holding space for exactly this.
-
None at all. Everything is accessible to complete beginners, and offered with options to go deeper if you want to.
-
Comfortable clothing for movement and relaxation, something cosy for evenings (it can get cool), a book or journal, swimwear (for the ocean day trip), and anything that helps you feel like yourself - favourite tea, a meaningful object, comfy socks.
-
The nearest airport is Lisbon, roughly 40 minutes from Dois Portos. We will organise a shuttle. Once we have everyones arrival times we will arrange a driver to pick you up from the airport and drive you to the villa.
-
The accommodation is in 2 beautiful villas situated next door to each other.
There are both shared and single room options. You may enquire about either. -
All meals are home-cooked in the Villa by a Private Chef using local, wholesome ingredients. We're happy to accommodate vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and most other dietary needs - just let us know when you book.
