A Women’s Yoga Retreat in Coastal Portugal
 

Nestled along Portugal’s breathtaking coastline, just 35 minutes from the vibrant city of Lisbon, lies a quiet sanctuary where the wild meets the wise. Welcome to Retreat Oasis Portugal—a sacred refuge in Colares where the Atlantic Ocean whispers to ancient cliffs, and cobbled village paths invite you to slow down and soften into your own rhythms. (https://retreatoasisportugal.com/)

This women’s retreat is an invitation to return to yourself. To dance with the waves of your breath, to explore the wisdom of your body, and to share sacred space with other women on the path of growth, healing, and reclamation.

Throughout our seven days together, we will root into daily yoga, breathwork, meditation, sacred ritual, and creative expression—all designed to reconnect you with the Shakti energy that pulses through everything. This is not just a retreat of rest and rejuvenation—it is a devotional return to your inner temple.

Awakening a connection to Sri Radha, the embodiment of Divine love, devotion, and fierce grace. Through story, mantra, movement, and shared reflection, we will explore how her essence lives within each of us. Just as Radha is inseparable from Krishna, so too are we never apart from the sacred. The Divine Feminine is not something to seek—it is something that lives inside of each one of us. Her grace is awaiting 

In every breath, every tide, every tear, and every joyful eruption of laughter, the Shakti reveals Herself through the longing heart. As we soften into sisterhood and shared presence, we begin to untangle ourselves from the demands of performance and return to what is raw, real, and holy within us.

Over seven nourishing days, we will weave together daily yoga, breathwork, sacred rituals, creative exploration, and reflective time in nature. Whether walking the nearby beaches at sunrise, gathering for sunset circles, or resting in silence under the stars, this retreat is your time—to reconnect, recharge, and rise into your essence.

Let Portugal’s wild beauty hold you. Let your spirit be stirred by the salt air. Let your body feel free, grounded, and alive again

Our days at Retreat Oasis unfold with grace and intention—designed to nourish your body, uplift your spirit, and reconnect you to your inner knowing.
