Intention
Embark on a transformative week-long retreat at the serene sanctuary of Brejo Funderio, tailored to women seeking self-discovery and enriched relationships. This unique offering is curated to help you understand yourself on a deeper level and in turn, flow harmoniously in your connections with others.
Our program is thoughtfully designed to guide you through the intricacies of your inner world, fostering self-awareness and personal growth. Through introspective practices, group discussions, and expert guidance, you'll gain valuable insights into your thoughts, emotions, and behaviour, empowering you to create positive change in your life.
At the heart of this experience lies the desire to cultivate meaningful connections with others. You'll explore the dynamics of relationships, find ways to unlock barriers to healthy relationships and sharpen your communication skills, empathy, and emotional intelligence. Together we'll create a supportive and inclusive space where like-minded women can learn, grow, and connect.
Join us in this empowering and enriching and fun experience, as we embrace and nurture the goddess within and discover new dimensions of self-awareness, inner balance, and the art of nurturing deeper, more meaningful relationships.
It's time to connect, grow, and thrive amidst the natural beauty of Brejo Funderio.
What’s included
ACCOMMODATION
MEALS
DAILY FLOW
We will be staying at the Brejo Fundeiro Retreat - a holistic retreat centre. Set in a tranquil location in the forested hills of Central Portugal, far away from the crowds, just 3 km from the beautiful ‘Castelo de Bode’ lake. The retreat centre sits within a small valley surrounded by eucalyptus, pine, and cork oak trees and consists of a three-storey, one-hundred-year-old manor house. The space has held many retreats over the years and offers a safe, tranquil space for us to rest into.
We indulge in sumptuous daily breakfast either in the dining room or the courtyard. All meals are nutritionally high, made with love, onsite, and often include delights from the expansive Brejo Funderio vegetable garden and kitchen alchemy.
We start each day with a movement class and after a delish breakfast we will take time to ease into explorative learnings and practices to deepen our connection to ourselves and others. The pre-retreat additions of Ayurvedic and Enneagram consultations with Rene and JIllian, will provide depth to these conversations and practices. Afternoons will be for relaxation, forest walks, swims in the pool and rest.
Evenings will unfold organically based on the flow of the group.

what makes this retreat
Unique and Irresistible?
This retreat is for women, seeking balance and deepening relationships with self and others. Understanding how they operate, their triggers, and how this unfolds in other relationships in their life.
Amidst the tranquillity and serenity of Brejo Funderio, we'll gracefully flow through daily movement practices, engage in meaningful dialogues about self-nurturing, and experiment with transformative ways to enhance our connections with loved ones. You're encouraged to invite your partner, mother, daughters, sisters, or friends, as together we explore the intricate topic of "Being In a Relationship."
As a special highlight, we'll embark on a day-long excursion to the picturesque village of Tomar, home to one of the oldest Knights Templar castles, offering an incredible blend of architecture, history, and beauty.
We will also offer pre-retreat assessments with Rene (Ayurveda) and Jill (Enneagram) which we will be referring to during the retreat.
