CALMA Retreat

Sept 16th-19th in Portugal

A sacred space to come home to yourself and find peace within.

CALMA — A retreat to ground your body, calm your mind, and nourish your soul. Surrounded by raw nature and the ocean. CALMA allows you to slow down and reconnect with your self.

The retreat is a hidden sanctuary by the sea in Portugal, north from Porto. With lots of earthy textures and authentic, grounding atmosphere, the retreat radiates natural warmth and simplicity.

I would love to invite you for yoga, meditation, and sound healing. I promise you leave with an open heart full of love, gratitude, and connection.

A Hidden Gem at Portugal’s North Coast

Immersed in Nature

The retreat is a peaceful, remote sanctuary, surrounded by nature, lush hiking trails, spring pools, and the vast ocean. Guests can meet friendly animals, including horses, sheep, and dogs. For those seeking adventure, nearby activities include surfing, canyoning, horseback riding, and stand-up paddleboarding.

Authentic Casa de Pedra

We stay in a traditional rural stone house built with warm wooden beams, radiating a truly magical atmosphere. The Soul House is an exclusive space just for our group, featuring a spacious living room with dining area, an open kitchen and outdoor terrace — perfect for sharing meals and creating beautiful memories together.

Unique Accommodation

The rooms are neat and thoughtfully designed with a minimalistic touch, letting the natural beauty of the stone walls and wooden beams shine through. Simple yet cozy, each room has its own unique charm.
