Blooming with Love Retreat

from
06-04 to 10-04 2023

Bloom Into Your Purpose

Welcome to our 4-day retreat in nature – an immersive experience designed to foster holistic activities, organic food, and spiritual growth.

As you blossom out of your hibernation and immerse yourself in the nourishing, rejuvenating energy of spring, you will tap into the limitless power of nature and connect to your primal, creative roots. Our loving community will support you on this journey of self-discovery, as you flow with the sensual energy of the season and through that find your unique flow. At the heart of our retreat is a deep desire to give back to Mama Earth and help her regenerate. We are committed to raising awareness and respecting her endless wisdom, which is present in every inch of this land. By joining us and sharing your energy, you will not only support the environment but also experience your own transformation. We invite you to explore the rest of this page and discover how this retreat can help you blossom in unison with Mama Earth.

The Experiences We Offer You

To support this blooming of our inner self, we offer you a safe, regenerative space that, in synergy with the retreat schedule, will deepen your connection to self, encourage self exploration and creativity while still giving you a balance of time and space for you to have the freedom to explore and integrate what you experience during your time with us.
We look to welcome all of our guests on Thursday evening, easing into the space with some exercises to begin the connections we will later deepen as the weekend goes forward.
From Friday on we will start with our official retreat schedule – which we will share the official schedule soon!
We are looking forward to sharing with you: Sacred feminine & masculine practices, regeneration and permaculture, traditional yoga, ecstatic dance, creative writing, flow arts and so much more!

Anna Simões

Anna has been a creative her entire life–the only definition she finds can truly explain the vastness of the human imagination. But, one of her true loves in this life is of writing–a love she has nurtured through schooling, experience, and curiosity.

As a deeply spiritual Being, she finds that each pursuit into the creative realm is a deeper exploration of our Self. With this belief, she currently helps others as a guide, a teacher, a friend, to ultimately help others realize the power of their own creative voice through writing.

Our Space

Nourish Your Body

Breakfast, lunch, dinner, yummy snacks…
We have prepared a specially curated menu using the five elements of Chinese cooking to nourish our bodies as we move through the energy of the weekend. All vegan, with the integration of home-grown plant elements, we are setting the intention so that not only our hearts and souls can connect to the space, but that our physical beings can be honored as well.
We also will have delicious fruits and drinks available at any point during your time here such that you can nourish yourself deeper!
Allergies and intolerances will be taken into consideration.

Blooming with the Land

This experience merges together the chance of honoring yourself as a Being, while also honoring the Earth on which we are part of. Those who participate have the opportunity to go deeper on a human level (physically, mentally, emotionally and energetically), while reconnecting with themselves and the magical Land around.
On the practical side, the funds used for this retreat will go towards the regeneration of this land, which includes our biodiverse and food forests planting project. This includes any tools, maintenance, and labor costs needed to make sure these trees can grow and thrive within the Alentejo region.

On the human end, the funds will also go towards the continuation of events like these so we can continue to honor the beautiful Beings that come to our space.

Who is this for

The Blooming with Love retreat is for anyone seeking to connect with nature, cultivate their spirituality, and tap into their higher potential. It’s the ideal opportunity for those who crave a holistic approach to personal growth and want to embrace the energy of the spring season!

Reviews

The perfect opportunity to renew your relationship with nature and honour her beauty and prosperity.

The land is beautiful, the house lovingly decorated, the workshops were all valuable and I got value out of every single one. Overall an absolutely great retreat. I got answers to my personal questions and so beautiful inspirations and empowering tools.
– Simone –

Highly recommended for anyone who has the desire to create a space for reconnecting internally. This retreat has the potential to provide this while also expanding connections which allow reconnections to sprout into new avenues of possibility. 
– Joe –

It was a beautiful and magical retreat! So much effort was put into it for everything to flow. The food was amazing. The workshops were powerful. I enjoyed every minute of connecting with everyone; The facilitators, the volunteers and guests. 
– Chayenne –

This retreat felt like a space where each person, although in their own journey, had the ability to be present with others during their separate experience while exploring their own. Safely. Openly. It gave me, and I hope others, a chance to work through what they needed while receiving support in whatever way was required. Whether that was through sound healing, learning through reflection, connecting with the earth, listening, speaking, dancing, all of it served one great purpose or other. It’s just mind-blowing to me how much this retreat made space for us to just connect. Thank you so much for holding this space.  
– Anna –

The retreat was recharging, beautiful and also overwhelming. It was like a PurposeFlow volunteer experience resumed to a weekend: a lot of things come up, you think about your past experiences, you’re allowed to process them ad welcome to express them. It’s intense, huge and therapeutic.  
– Réka –

A very special and meaningful experience – filled with laughter, tears, rain, sunshine, cuddles, full bellies, deep breaths, and open hearts. The land, the creatures, humans, all held a space for themselves and each other. I am very grateful to have been a part of this. Thank you.
