Reconnect with Yourself
October 4-11, 2026 · Portugal
An intentional travel retreat to slow down, reconnect, and return to yourself — guided, grounded, and held in community.
An Invitation to Reconnect
When you step out of your everyday environment, something changes. Familiar roles loosen. The noise quiets. You begin to hear yourself again.
You’re invited to reconnect with yourself in a week-long retreat in Portugal designed to help you adventure, breathe, and reconnect with who you are beneath the expectations, pressure, and constant doing of daily life.
This is not a retreat about fixing yourself. It’s about remembering who you’ve been all along.
We will explore Portugal, have new experiences, and incorporate self-connection along the way.
People of all genders, identities, and expressions are welcome here. This retreat is for anyone who feels called to reconnect.
Why this retreat?
Many people feel disconnected from themselves without even realizing it. Life moves quickly. Responsibilities pile up. You keep showing up — but something inside feels distant, unfulfilled, or tired.
Traveling somewhere new creates a natural pause. It invites presence, curiosity, and awareness. When paired with guided reflection and community, that pause becomes a powerful space for reconnection.
This retreat is designed to offer:
- A break from routine
- Time to listen inward
- A supportive, grounded group environment
- An intentional combination of movement, reflection, and rest
- Exploring new places, foods, and culture together
You don’t need to arrive feeling ready or confident. You only need to arrive open.
What You’ll Experience
Each day follows a thoughtful pace that supports both exploration and integration. After registration, you’ll receive the full itinerary. For now, you can expect a daily rhythm that includes:
- Guided visits to coastal towns, historic villages, and natural landscapes
- Walks, hikes, and time by the ocean
- One gentle yoga session
- Journaling and guided reflection
- Group conversations and connection
- Shared meals and meaningful time together
Nothing is rushed. There is space to be, to notice, to explore, and to rest.
The cities you’ll visit:
- Óbidos, Caldas da Rainha, Foz do Arelho, São Martinho do Porto, Alcobaça, Nazaré, Lisbon, and Belém.

Who is leading this retreat?
I’m Sarah, a licensed therapist, coach, and writer whose work focuses on reconnection, both within ourselves and in our relationships with others. For over 20 years, I’ve guided individuals, partners, and small groups through patterns of disconnection, helping people slow down, build awareness, heal, and create healthier ways of being and connecting.
I lead this retreat using the same themes I explore in my group and coaching work, with an added layer that travel naturally brings—real-time insight into how we show up with ourselves and with others.
My husband, Nick, supports the retreat through logistics and on-the-ground care throughout the week. In 2023, we moved to Portugal to intentionally slow down and realign our priorities. I’m grateful to share this beautiful place and experience with others who are doing the inner work and who also share a love for travel.
Your Next Step
If you feel drawn to this retreat, now is the time to pause and listen to that response. Rather than waiting for certainty, take a small, brave step forward.
Reconnect with Yourself is intentionally limited to a small group so the experience can remain intentional, grounded, and deeply supportive. Because of that, spaces will fill.
So rather than waiting for perfect certainty, take the next clear step. Begin the registration process to reserve your place. From there, you will receive the full itinerary, travel details, and payment options so you can move forward with clarity.
Choosing this retreat is not about being fearless. It is about listening to the part of you that wants to reconnect with who you really are.
If that part of you is paying attention right now, this is your moment to respond.
