It’s Time to Reset

There are moments in life when the body quietly asks for something different, a pause, a reset, a return to simplicity.

This retreat in the sun-drenched south of Portugal is an invitation to step away from the pace of everyday life and enter a space designed for nourishment, clarity, and renewal.

This is my 20ith Juice Retreat and I am so happy you are joining. Juicing, soaking in the sun, walking, releasing, finding quiet alters my persepective, every single time!

Surrounded by nature and expansive skies, the days unfold slowly through mindful movement, fresh juices, strengthening yoga, restorative practices, and time spent outdoors. The powerful southern sunlight, mineral rich river waters, and quiet beauty of the landscape become part of the experience, supporting the body as it resets and restores.

Together, we create a supportive environment where the body can rest, the mind can settle, and a renewed sense of vitality can begin to emerge.

Location

Our retreat takes place in the south of Portugal, a region known for its warm climate, expansive natural landscapes, and beautiful sunlight.

Surrounded by the peaceful Portuguese countryside, the venue offers a tranquil setting designed for restoration and reflection. A spacious outdoor yoga platform overlooks the landscape, allowing you to practice in the open air while immersed in nature.

Guests will have access to natural hiking trails, a freshwater river for swimming, and a beautiful pool where you can relax throughout the day.

One of the most restorative elements of this location is the abundant southern Portuguese sun. Absorbing natural sunlight allows the body to replenish vitamin D, supporting immunity, mood, and overall vitality. Combined with nourishing juices, movement, and time in nature, the environment itself becomes part of the healing process.

The retreat is easily accessible by flying into Faro Airport, where you can take an Uber or local transportation directly to the venue.

Flights and transportation to the retreat venue are not included in the retreat price.

What to Expect

This retreat offers a supportive environment for physical nourishment, mental clarity, and deep restoration.

Each morning begins with a silent meditation walk, allowing you to greet the day in stillness while surrounded by the beauty of the landscape. We then move into a strong, energizing yoga practice on the outdoor shala, designed to build strength, stimulate circulation, and support the body’s natural detoxification processes.

Mornings are largely held in silence, giving participants the opportunity to turn inward and cultivate deeper awareness.

Throughout the day you are invited to move at a slower rhythm, allowing the body to rest and reset. Afternoons may be spent:

swimming in the natural river

relaxing by the pool

exploring the surrounding hiking trails

reading or resting in a hammock

journaling or simply enjoying the stillness of the countryside

Participants are encouraged to engage in mindful and thoughtful conversation, helping maintain a calm and supportive atmosphere throughout the retreat.

In the evening we gather again for gentle yin yoga, meditation, and guided visualization practices designed to calm the nervous system and support deep relaxation.

Nourishment

Throughout the retreat, participants will receive freshly prepared juices throughout the day and one nourishing soup each evening.

All juices are thoughtfully curated and prepared using local seasonal produce whenever possible. The intention is to allow the digestive system to rest while flooding the body with nutrients.

When the body receives deep nourishment and support, it naturally begins to rebalance itself. Supporting the gut microbiome has been widely shown to influence mood, clarity, and overall wellbeing.

While juice cleansing can sometimes feel challenging when done alone, practicing within a shared group experienceoften transforms it into a powerful and empowering process.

Who This Retreat Is For

This retreat is for those who feel ready to step away from the demands of everyday life and reconnect with their body, mind, and natural rhythm.

It may be especially supportive if you are:

feeling mentally or physically depleted and in need of a reset

curious about juice cleansing but prefer to experience it within a supportive group

looking to nourish your body while creating space for reflection and clarity

seeking a balance of movement, stillness, and time in nature

ready to slow down and experience the restorative power of simplicity

No prior experience with juicing, meditation, or yoga is required. All practices are guided in a way that welcomes both beginners and experienced practitioners.

What matters most is simply arriving with openness and a willingness to care for yourself deeply.

A Typical Day on Retreat

Each day follows a gentle rhythm that supports both structure and spaciousness.

Morning

We begin the day with a silent meditation walk, greeting the morning in stillness while surrounded by the natural beauty of the Portuguese landscape.

From there we move into an energizing strength-based yoga practice on the outdoor shala, awakening the body and stimulating circulation.

The morning continues in quiet reflection and silence, offering time to rest, journal, walk, or simply absorb the warmth of the southern sun.

Fresh juices are served throughout the morning to nourish and sustain the body.

Afternoon

Afternoons are intentionally spacious.

You may choose to:

swim in the nearby river

relax by the pool

explore the surrounding hiking trails

read or rest in a hammock

journal or spend quiet time reflecting

Mindful conversation is welcomed, and many participants find that slowing down in this way brings a deep sense of calm clarity.

Evening

In the evening we gather for gentle yin yoga, meditation, and guided visualization practices designed to settle the nervous system and support deep relaxation.

The day concludes with a warm nourishing soup, allowing the body to end the day feeling grounded and cared for.

What Makes This Retreat Different

This retreat is built around a simple philosophy: when the body is deeply nourished and supported by the right environment, it naturally begins to rebalance itself.

Rather than focusing only on detoxification, the retreat combines nourishment, movement, sunlight, nature, and quiet reflection to support the body and mind as a whole.

The experience includes:

freshly prepared juices made with local produce

strength-based yoga practices to stimulate vitality

quiet mornings that encourage introspection and mental clarity

restorative evening practices of yin yoga and meditation

immersion in nature through river swimming and hiking trails

the healing warmth of the southern Portuguese sun, supporting vitamin D absorption and overall wellbeing

Experiencing these elements together within a supportive group setting often makes the process far more powerful than attempting it alone.

Benefits You May Experience

Possible benefits include:

increased energy and vitality

improved mental clarity and focus

a deeper connection to the body

support for digestive health and the gut microbiome
