Melides, Portugal | Wed 19th - Sun 23rd May, 2027
An intimate, 5-day retreat amidst a pine tree forest in the ocean view hills of Portugal for the high-performing, deep-feeling woman who’s ready to remember who she is and what she came here on this earth to do — and find the courage to build her life around it.
We believe you are here for something.
Not for a job title or a five-year plan. But for something that wants to be expressed through you - and only you - because you’re unique.
Your purpose - and that purpose often goes beyond a career. It’s a way of living. A way of contributing. A way of creating. A way of loving. A way of leading. A way of being in the world.
Some of you know exactly what that is. Some of you have forgotten. Some of you are terrified to follow it. Some of you have been living it for years and feel something new emerging.
Most retreats give you five days of good food, yoga, and a break from your inbox.
This one gives you the space to actually hear yourself again, underneath the noise, the masks, the roles, the constant what should I do next?
So that somewhere between the stillness, the real conversations, the nature, the breath, the movement and the space to simply be... something becomes clear: the answer to the question, the decision or the crossroads you've been carrying.
The world doesn't need more people living perfectly successful lives that have nothing to do with who they are - it needs more people living purpose-driven ones.
These 5 days are a place for remembrance of who you are. For reconnection to yourself and what you’re here to create. For coming home to you. For reigniting what makes you feel alive.
Coaching | Breathwork | Yoga | Meditation | Nature | Rest | Silence | Reflection | Massage
Through a consciously curated program you’ll embark on a self-exploration journey and leave this place feeling...
Connected — back in your body, your heart and yourself.
Clear — knowing what matters now and what your life is asking of you.
Self-trusting — less dependent on external opinions, expectations and endless overthinking.
Courageous — willing to make the decision, take the step or begin the thing you've been circling.
This retreat will be your pause for purpose — and connect you to what was always meant for you.
Our retreat space | Casa Pinhal Melides

We don’t just offer you a schedule - we offer you a journey that builds purposefully over the course of 5 days.
And guides you to this beautiful place where you are deeply rested, connected to yourself, clear on your purpose and confident to build your life around it. Every day is different, but a day could look something like…
Wake up around 7.30AM with the sounds of nature & a cup of tea
Move your body with a sunrise yoga practice on the deck at 8.30AM
Nourish your body with a delicious brunch at 10.30AM
Transformative breathwork session around 12PM
Healthy snack at 3PM
1:1 coaching session or massage at 4PM or time to relax
Sound healing at 5.30PM
Dinner at 7PM
In the evening, you can read a book, rest in your room or exchange life stories around the fire
There is nothing more powerful than a group of women healing, growing and returning home to themselves - together.
Your facilitator | Myrthe van Gameren
I'm a Type A personality, Manifesting Generator, Aquarius, a go-getter, high achiever, passionate and driven… yet feminine and in my softer, slower, no-bra era.
Ex-corporate consultant. Recovering good girl. Former “I’ll just push through it” woman who built an entire life around being competent, high-functioning and emotionally self-sufficient… but I kept thinking: "there must be something more for me out there."
So I left the 10-year long relationship with a “good guy”. Left my high-paying consulting job in Singapore. Left the life I had so consciously spent a decade building, because I thought it’s what I wanted.
And instead, I moved to Bali, and later Portugal. I started my coaching business. I discovered my soul’s purpose and built my life around it. I reconnected with myself and with nature.
Today, I live and lead differently - guided by my body, intuition, and a new definition of success that's more spacious, free, meaningful and most importantly: mine.
And I can’t wait to guide you do the exact same thing.
Don’t take our word for it, but our guests’!
