Portugal Retreat
Saturday 19th - Thursday 24th October 2024
Come and join me for a 5 night / 6 day retreat in Portugal!
This retreat will be the perfect opportunity to escape the cold UK weather, and enjoy a well deserved break in sunny Algarve that will leave you feeling blissfully relaxed, rejuvenated and full of positive energy.
It will be so much more than just a normal holiday - it’s a holistic experience that will help you let go of stress from your mind and body, and rediscover what lights up your heart and brings you joy.
Imagine daily yoga and meditation with a stunning view, delicious healthy vegetarian food, free-time to chill by the pool or at the beach, the chance to meet like-minded people, fun local activities and day trips, as well as inspirational talks and group sessions led by Sheena to help you reflect and reconnect with your inner self.
We will be staying in a dreamy 9 bedroom villa in Algarve that is surrounded by two coastlines, a beautiful mountain range and stunning views.
The villa is reserved exclusively for us and includes :
🏊♀️ Outdoor swimming pool
💦 Indoor bubble pool
📚 Cosy chill out areas to read and journal
🧘🏻♀️ A shaded yoga space
🌴 Access to a private garden
🔥 An outdoor fire pit
☀️ A sauna
🤌🏽 Hammocks
🏐 A volley ball court
🏓 Table tennis and snooker table
The beach is just a 10-15 minute walk away, and there are also plenty of options for additional activities such as kayaking through the grottos, massages and visits to the local town for shopping.
“Sheena’s retreat has been deeply nourishing for my soul. It’s been a joy to connect to myself and nature, take a pause in my life and reflect on what is important to me.
Every aspect was honestly incredible – there was such a special energy and each yoga session, workshop, meal-tine and free-time felt purposeful and grounding. The amount of love and pure energy that I imagine went into planning this definitely shows and I’m so grateful!
If you’re thinking about going to Sheena’s retreat, it means there’s a part of you that is ready to grow and reconnect to your true self.
That is exactly what her retreat will enable you to do, and you will leave with such a warm feeling in your heart, and a sense of peace within!”

“I’m so glad I attended your winter retreat, what an incredible way to end the year!
This year has been full of so much change and growth, and I was able to let go of so much that was holding me back as well as reflect on everything I have achieved and learned. It’s given me so much strength and I’ve come home feeling so empowered and ready to conquer next year.
You created an atmosphere that made me feel so comfortable. From the workshops, to the yoga sessions to the mindful eating to the little daily mantra cards… I’ve taken home so many valuable lessons from and I’m so grateful.
The energy you created in this retreat has been incredible, and you can tell from all the little details how much love and effort went into it”
