We are officially just a few weeks away from our week together in Portugal, and I could not be more excited to welcome you to this experience.

Portugal is a place that holds so much of my heart, and I truly cannot wait to welcome you to my country, share its beauty with you, and experience these special places together.

I’ll be sharing a few final details, but I wanted to send you an email with everything you need to begin preparing for our time together.

Retreat Date
June 22–27, 2026
Ponte de Lima & Porto, Portugal

The Feel of the Retreat
This is not a rigid or overly scheduled retreat. There will be beautifully curated experiences throughout the week, but also intentional free time to rest, explore, journal, shop, nap, have coffee, or simply enjoy being present.

Think:
• Slow mornings
• Beautiful dinners
• Local culture
• Wine and meaningful conversations
• Discovering Porto/Ponte de Lima
. São João Night
• A chance to reconnect with yourself

My hope is that this week feels inspiring, grounding, joyful, and deeply comforting, like a true exhale.

Activity & Walking Level
Portugal is very walkable, especially in Porto. Please expect:
• Cobblestone streets
• Uneven pathways
• Moderate walking throughout the week
• Some hills and stairs

Nothing is overly strenuous, but comfortable shoes are highly recommended.

What To Wear
The vibe is elevated European summer with comfort in mind.

Think:
• Linen
• Flowy dresses
• Comfortable sandals or sneakers
• Light layers for evenings
• Swimsuit for relaxing moments
• Something beautiful for our special dinners

While most of the week will feel relaxed and effortless, there may be a few evenings where we’ll want to dress up a little, especially for our final night together. Think elevated but comfortable, something that makes you feel beautiful, confident, and fully yourself.

There may also be a few little surprises along the way that you’ll want to be ready for

Weather
Expect warm sunny days and cooler evenings. Average temperatures are typically between 70–85°F.

What To Pack
A few suggested items:
• Comfortable walking shoes
• Crossbody bag
• Light sweater or jacket
• Sunscreen
• Hat & sunglasses
• Portable charger
• Passport + travel documents

Meals & Dietary Needs
Most/all meals are included throughout the retreat. If you have any dietary restrictions or allergies that you haven’t already shared, please reply to this email so we can accommodate you.

Free Time
There will be moments built into the itinerary for you to enjoy the town, relax at the house, book a massage, shop locally, or simply rest. Nothing about this retreat should feel rushed. If you want me to book a massage, please let me know so i can arrange.

Group Communication
A group WhatsApp thread will be created closer to departure so everyone can connect, ask questions, and coordinate travel if desired.
