The Threshold

An Off-Grid Women’s Retreat in Portugal

A week of somatic alchemy, emotional healing, and raw reconnection to self and nature.

This is more than a retreat.

It’s a threshold.
A pause in the momentum of performance.
A sacred interruption in the story of “just keep going.”

Tucked away in the wild heart of central Portugal, The Hide offers a hidden valley of stone buildings, waterfalls, rivers, and silence.
Here, surrounded by forest, firelight, and stars, 11 women gather to feel again.

Why This Retreat is Different

Off-grid. Off-script.
A space where numbness can thaw.
Where silence becomes medicine.
Where the land holds you while you remember who you are beneath the noise.

This isn’t about fixing yourself.
It’s about finding yourself—in your breath, your bare feet, in the quiet sensation of your own yes and no.

What You’ll Experience

A transformational week of:
- Trauma-sensitive somatic yoga, restorative yoga and sound healing
- Self-enquiry and shadow work including creativity
- Wild swimming beneath waterfalls
- Soul-stirring hikes through untouched nature
- Ritual, stillness, and sisterhood, through sharing circles and song
- Nervous system repair through rhythm, dance and rest

You’ll reconnect with your body and breath.
Align with your own values—not the ones inherited or imposed.
And begin to remember who you were before the world told you who to be.

A Day in the Life

Mornings begin slow—with silence, tea, and somatic movement.
Days unfold through self enquiry processes, yoga practices, river swims, hikes, journaling, meditation
Evenings are soft, spacious, and deeply held in circle, sharing stories, song or resting in Nidra

No pressure. No performance. Just space to be.

Who This Is For

This retreat is for you if:
- You’re a high-functioning woman who feels disconnected or numb
- You want to be in authentic community with other women
- You long to feel both your body and soul’s longings
- You want space to soften, not strive, to re-connect to your feminine intuition
- You’re ready to live from truth and authenticity not performance

You don’t need to be “ready.”
You just need to arrive.

What You’ll Leave With

- A sense of emotional healing—felt, not just understood
- Simple, powerful somatic tools you can use in daily life
- A deeper connection to your body, truth, and boundaries
- Soulful connections with women who get it
- A quiet, grounded remembering of who you truly are

In the Words of a Past Participant:

“I realised that you have given me a way bigger gift—of a lasting impact in daily life.
Literally, that one retreat week changed my life permanently for the better.”
