COME ALIVE RETREAT
Madeira, Portugal
June 27th- July 4th, 2027
Eight days, Seven nights
All levels welcome.
Daily Yoga, Wellness, + Community
We chose Madeira because it holds the exact energy of Heart Space:
beauty, depth, adventure, softness, and return.
What Awaits You
A Week That Recalibrates You
Each morning begins with a yoga and meditation practice with Julia and Sara designed to connect you with your body and open you to the day ahead.
From there, the island becomes part of the journey. From sailing the Atlantic by catamaran to riding e-bikes through the countryside and much more!
Throughout the week, we’ll weave in dharma and intentional evening practices designed to help you integrate what you’re experiencing.
This is more than just a retreat in a beautiful place. It’s the kind of week you come home from feeling more alive, more present, and more yourself.
What We Come Together For
Yoga Practice
Every day here has a rhythm. Mornings open with intention through energizing yoga and breathwork with Julia + Sara to set the tone for the day ahead. Evenings we soften through restorative yoga to let the day go and sink into deep, easy rest.
Gorgoues Places
Madeira is not a backdrop. It is part of the medicine. Volcanic mountains, ancient forests, Atlantic ocean, and an island that has been doing things its own way for centuries.
Real Connection
Twenty people, seven nights, one island. The kind of connection that happens when you take people out of their ordinary lives and give them space to actually breathe. These are the friendships that last.
The Destination
Known as the Island of Eternal Spring, its climate is mild year-round, its landscapes are extraordinary, and its food is unlike anywhere else you’ve eaten. The island is so fertile that almost everything you eat was grown within a few miles of your plate. For centuries, people have come to this island to heal and restore themselves.
