You are invited to six days of
deep nourishment and reawakening.
Many women just like you are finding themselves in a position where there are many demands on them and they’re having to hold a lot. Whether it be looking after their families, holding space for clients, being there for friends or giving to their communities, women have had a long history of dedicating themselves to the needs of other people, whether they’ve been acknowledged and thanked for it, or not.

This retreat is an opportunity to give back to yourself, expand your receiving capacity, fill your own cup and leave feeling nourished back to sovereign wholeness.
Our intention is to cocreate a nonjudgementand nourishing space for you to step away from your responsibilities, release built up tension, rediscover your aliveness, connect to a deeper sense of belonging and leave feeling regenerated and inspired.

The retreat is a blend of daily yoga, embodiment workshops, transformative rituals, immersion in Nature, nourishing meals and sacred community. We invite you to come as you are, sink into sisterhood, come home to yourself and leave feeling restored & alive.

every day carries a unique energy...
the alchemical journey we will take you on:
1 - Arrive
Day One is where you’ll be invited to arrive and gently land. All parts of you will be welcomed into our shared space.
2- Release
Day Two focuses on releasing old identities and patterns that are no longer serving you. Together in ritual and sacred prayer, we will be giving space to let go of what’s stuck, what’s stagnant and what’s old, and make room for a reclamation of who you truly are and what you truly desire.
3 - Reclaim
Day Three focuses on reclaiming your vitality, your creativity, your femininity, your boundaries and your sovereignty. We will create space for the blueprints of vitality, sovereignty and radical self-expression to come alive within you, as you, helping you to step into a new empowered identity.
4- Receive
Day Four focuses on somatically expanding your capacity to honour your needs and abundantly receive that which enables you to live your truest potential in any given moment, without burning out or dimming your light. Overflow is your birthright.
5 - Rejoice
Day Five focuses on plugging back into the great Cosmic Web, honouring our Mother Gaia, and celebrating the ecstasy of life, through play and the ritual of dance.
6 - Rebirth
Our final morning together marks a rebirth, and gentle return to the world, but with an ability to look at it with fresh eyes and an open heart.

Location
The retreat will be held at the beautiful Shanti Space, a retreat sanctuary located 45 minutes from Lisbon (and its airport) in Portugal.
The retreat center is a stunning traditional Quinta set in a forest. With the Iberian Wolf Sanctuary as its neighbours, and wild animals residing in the bordering Tapada de Mafra National Park, your wild heart & soul will for sure feel at home here!
The guardians, Jessica and Jack Weaver, are down to earth yogis and healing artists, who, together with their team, pour their heart and soul into this sacred space. With their loving furry companions Leo & Lila (German Shepherds) and Bodhi (cat), they have created the most welcoming and inspiring space.
The Shanti Space has a comfortable Garden Shala as well as an incredible outdoor Forest Yoga Deck, both of which are exclusive to us to use and enjoy. Just imagine your morning meditation out on the deck, and a calming Yoga Nidra in a converted green house (the shala)…!
The private and shared bedrooms, dorm and glamping tents are comfortable, spacious and well-maintained. More information about your room options can be find below.



Food
All meals, including snacks, are included in your stay and provided by the LunnaPlants ladies Anna & Lucie.
Soulfood inspired by nature! From soil to kitchen, expect a menu filled with colours & flavours in which no product comes from animals, but rather fresh superfoods from the local area. All meals are vegan and gluten-free.
From nourishing Buddha bowls to tarts & delicious desserts you will fuel your Prana as well as nourish your cells with love and care. Anna & Lucie are the food fairies who co-create LunnaPlants! They believe that plant-based food is energy and medicine for body, mind, soul, and they will definitely bring a new perspective to your eating & cooking lifestyle.
They may even share their orgasmic* cooking skills with you during a workshop…!
*definitely our words as much as theirs 😉

Get a feel for the vibe
Video and testimonials of the
2022 Spiritual Feminist retreat
All workshops, meditation, etc. were all great and each brought his own piece for my process. I have experienced a rest like never before, I have been able to heal things that I did not expect, I had fun, I have met beautiful sisters but the best thing is that I have been able to find love for myself!!!
My heart is wide open and I can give love to myself and others like never before. I would recommend it to anyone and Leneth is the perfect guide!!!! So much love for the whole proces, all the people, the workshops, the yoga, the place and Leneth! <3
The pouring of love from the sisters I met there and the energy I could feel in the middle of our circle was something more powerful than anything I have felt in my entire life when connecting to other humans. I still cry happy tears weeks later thinking about how grateful I am to the universe I got to experience this. It taught me many things that I still use in my daily life.
Leneth is loving, caring makes you feel safe, seen and loved. If it wasn’t for her I might never have done a retreat in my life, and if I could only do one in my entire life, I’m glad it would have been hers.
From start to finish, this week truly calls upon this very essence of coming home to yourself. I cannot even imagine what my life would have been like if I did not have these experiences. Words are not enough for the memories and connections I now cherish.
If you have a whisper of intuition that is telling you to tend to yourself by entering into a retreat experience held by Leneth it will be such a gift to yourself.
I couldn’t imagine my life now not having gone through this experience and I am so thankful to Leneth and the sisters I met. It would truly be hard to find someone that cares more for your growth and wellbeing than Leneth, and the whole Shanti Space team. You will be loved, seen, held, nourished, empowered and graced. Your life will never be the same again.
The food was exceptional. Communication was great and I felt safe and taken care of from the start.
I loved all the workshops, yoga and guest facilitations. It was perfectly balanced and a mix of so many things. The tone, frequency and timings were perfect.
The openness and non judgement of everyone was something I’ve never experienced before. The fact there was a space where every person was heard and listened to with full clarity and space was something I will always remember and try and carry with me in all my experiences.
See you in July, sister!
