A Journey into your Feminine Heart

A 4-night luxury women’s retreat inspired by nature that will lead you home to yourself.

May 30 - June 3, 2024 | Ribatejo, Portugal

Join us for an immersive and transformational journey amongst women held within the beauty of nature in the Portuguese region of Ribatejo. We will come together to explore, grow, support one another and come back home to wholeness. We will open our hearts, laugh, dance, cry and be wild. We will share ourselves and our wisdom, connect with our bodies and release what no longer serves us. We will find softness in being, embrace our feminine sensuality and connect to source. This journey will be a beautiful and safe space for you to feel and be all of you while leaning into your divine feminine essence.

Inspired by nature’s 5 elements, these 5 days will be filled with carefully curated sessions and experiences designed to bring about profound healing, connection, insights and transformation. Earth, water, fire, air and ether are the building blocks of human life. We have all of these within us, and when we can understand the qualities of each element and recognize them in our body, actions, thoughts and emotions, we can flow through life with more ease, love, joy and freedom.

 Through embodiment practices, empowering tools, sisterhood and deep presence with nature you will experience connection and balance in being; a coming home. Fully alive, joyful, peaceful and blissful. A deep remembrance of your truest essence beyond all external noise. A safe haven within yourself. A space to drop into, listen, and receive the answers you long for.

  • This women’s retreat was one of the best experiences of my life. It was a very well rounded combo of rest, mindfulness, healing, movement and connection with other women and nature. Nour is the gift that keeps on giving. She effortlessly created a safe space for all the women to share feelings, traumas and hidden thoughts. She led us into meditation, yoga practices and workshops but more importantly created a safe space for all the women to connect and invite healing and growth in a few short days. She also gave us tools and practices to take home with us while we continue to connect with our feminine hearts. I will be the first to sign up for the next retreat!

  • This retreat truly was the kickstart to everything that has happened internally and externally since then. It definitely cracked something open and has been the catalyst for all that followed after; my world is greatly shifting. I think the biggest things that have happened are discovering and working through unresolved trauma, and opening myself to love again. And for work I’ve decided to take a leap and follow my calling to become a Doula, which starts next year. Life is happening :) I’ll treasure my time at this retreat for a long time to come.

  • We cried, we laughed and we ignited the fire within us together. The amount of love that we all felt together was truly magical. And all of that was only possible because we could deeply trust Nour and the space she created for us. These few days felt like a dream and a necessity for the soul. I recommend anyone take part in such a retreat as it really is an experience you’ll never forget! I walk away feeling so refreshed and filled with so much love. And as a huge plus I have also made some friends for life!

    Safia

  • Thank you so much for the most expansive and life changing retreat. I am deeply grateful for the experience which has allowed me to connect to my soul in ways that I’ve never experienced. I received the most powerful insights about myself and my soul’s journey. So much laughter, tears and deep connections were made. Thank you for helping me to embrace my divine feminine heart and to connect to the magic within me.

    Andrea

  • This women’s retreat was one of the most intimate and deeply touching experiences I’ve ever had. Nour has such a beautiful and loving nature, her authenticity is inspiring and she has the ability to create such a safe space for human beings, to be seen just as they are, without any form of judgment. Her embodiment practices and tools, intertwined with mindfulness are gifts that I will carry with me forever, and being able to implement them into my day to day life has been a real game changer. I left this retreat feeling so nourished, connected to myself and others, rested and deeply grateful.

    Jennifer

  • I am beyond grateful for this journey and would highly recommend it to any and all women! I have met the most amazing women and have learned so much from each and everyone of them. They now all hold a special place in my heart and this experience was worth every moment. I can’t wait for the next retreat with Nour!

    Aya

  • THANK YOU - from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for this wonderful journey into me, surrounded by beautiful nature and wonderful souls who held space and time for me and my path of healing. Nour, you created a space that was so filled with love and security. You supported me to get closer to my essence and gave tools and possibilities to continue my deep work of healing and creation of power. I will come back and support you wherever I can.

I understand that a retreat is an investment, and for some a bigger financial and time commitment than for others. Hosting a retreat takes a lot of behind the scenes effort and I choose quality and high standards over quantity, which comes with a certain price. Beautiful locations, quality food and service, and a program that offers more than most retreats out there. I also like to keep the group small and intimate in order to create the best experience possible for each participant. For those with financial constraints, we usually offer flexible installment plans, so remember that this is an option 🤍
