Ericeira, Portugal · October 5–11, 2026 · 6–10 women only
A week for yourself
Six days on the Atlantic coast to slow all the way down, feel true sisterhood, and leave knowing anything is possible, with the clarity and guidance to go after what’s meant for you.
This is for you if
- Your life looks good on paper, but lately you feel a deep longing for more — more connection, more community, more freedom — and you don’t yet know what it could be or where to start.
- You feel a pull to dream bigger again, to step outside the life you’ve carefully built. Not because anything is wrong, but because you can feel there’s so much more to experience, to feel the magic again, and to create something of your own.
- You’re ready to take your dreams seriously, in a room of women doing the same.
Your signature course, included
The full Dream Life Mapping course
Before you arrive, you receive our complete six-module course, so the week in person can go deep instead of starting from scratch. Six guided modules to move you from “something’s missing” to a real, mapped direction.

Ericeira, Portugal
A whitewashed surf town on the Atlantic coast. Slow mornings, clean waves, salt in the air, an easy pace. Katja lives in Portugal, so this is a place we know and genuinely love. It is the kind of place that does half the work for you.
Your home for the week
A whitewashed surf house tucked into green hills a few minutes from the coast. Sun-filled rooms, a big open kitchen, a rooftop terrace for yoga and workshops, a pool to cool off in, and quiet corners everywhere to journal, nap, and breathe.
Your guides, Charlotte and Katja
Charlotte
Co-founder, Season of Self
Katja
Co-founder, Season of Self
We both rebuilt our lives around what actually felt true, and now we help other women do the same.
Katja holds the body of the week: the yoga, breath, and somatic practices that bring you back into yourself. Charlotte holds the clarity: the Inner Map, the mapping, and the strategy that turn a feeling into a plan.
Food as part of the ritual
Three home-cooked, farm-to-table meals a day from our private chef. Fresh, local, and vegetarian, built to nourish you from the inside out. Here, eating is connection and a way of coming back to yourself.
Feedback from previous retreats
“This retreat truly exceeded all expectations. It was such a special experience: a beautiful combination of slowing down, reconnecting with yourself, and growing stronger in who you are. I was able to reflect, gain new perspectives, and broaden my horizon, all while connecting with so many wonderful and inspiring women. The atmosphere throughout the entire experience felt incredibly genuine, warm, and supportive, and everyone felt completely comfortable, seen, and cared for from the very beginning. You could truly feel the passion and dedication behind every detail. I would book this again in a heartbeat.”
