Experience retreats designed to inspire connection, adventure, and meaningful transformation.
Join us for our Madeira Aliveness co-ed retreat in Madeira, Portugal from November 2–7, 2026.
A little yoga. A little adventure. A little soul-searching. A lot of good food, beautiful views, laughter, connection, and time to breathe.
We’re bringing a very small group of people together for a week in Madeira to slow down, get out of the usual routine, reconnect with ourselves, and have some fun while we’re at it.
No packed schedules. No pressure to have a life-changing breakthrough before breakfast.
Just a beautiful place, thoughtful experiences, good people, and plenty of room for whatever the week wants to become.
Come as you are. Leave feeling a little lighter, a little clearer, and hopefully a lot more alive.
Daily yoga with Ingo, morning or evening depending on the day. Stretch, breathe, move a little, feel better. Simple as that.
Community meals, prepared and shared, a bit of chopping and stirring, and the kind of conversations that seem to happen when nobody’s rushing off.
A full day out discovering Madeira, plus a sunset cruise, chocolate tasting, and a few other adventures we’ll dream up together.
Twenty quiet minutes together each day. A little space to slow the noise, check in with yourself, and just be.
A few guided sessions to get curious about what you’re ready to leave behind, what you want more of, and the story you’d rather be living.
Bring home more than photos. Choose one simple practice, feeling, or intention from the week that you’d actually like to keep.
Our Madeira retreat is a mix of movement, nature, adventure, good food, and plenty of time to connect. Think scenic hikes, waterfall and levada walks, natural pools, ocean adventures, shared meals, a little play, and lots of fresh air.
Some days might start with yoga or a run, and some evenings may wind down with breathwork. But nothing is about keeping up or doing it “right.”
This is very much a choose-your-own-adventure kind of retreat. Join in fully, take it easy, skip something, nap instead — you get to find your own rhythm.
The exact flow may shift with the weather and the mood of the group, but the goal stays the same: to create a week that feels energizing, spacious, fun, and genuinely connected.
Say hello before you arrive. You’ll join a private group with the other guests so you can meet everyone, ask questions, share excitement, and arrive already knowing a few friendly faces.
This is the fun part. We move, eat, explore, reflect, laugh, rest, try new things, and enjoy the island together. There’s plenty planned, but plenty of room to follow the moment too.
A few weeks after we’re home and real life has kicked back in, we’ll get together again to reconnect, catch up, and talk about what stuck. The group stays open too, so the friendships don’t have to end with the retreat.
Want to keep going? Retreat guests will have access to exclusive coaching packages to keep the reflection, clarity, and momentum going once you’re home.
Arrive at our private villa in Madeira, settle in, and take time to land into the space. The retreat begins with a relaxed welcome gathering, dinner, and an opening circle to connect as a group and set the tone for the week.
Begin the day with the choice of optional morning yoga or a morning run, followed by breakfast and a gentle orientation to the week ahead. Later, we’ll explore nearby viewpoints and natural scenery, giving everyone a first taste of Madeira’s dramatic island landscape.
In the evening, the group will gather for an optional breathwork session designed to deepen presence, connection, and embodiment.
After breakfast, we’ll head out for one of Madeira’s iconic nature experiences: a scenic coastal hike. A likely highlight is Ponta de São Lourenço, known for its volcanic landscape, ocean views, and striking cliffs.
We’ll return to the villa for rest, dinner, and a relaxed evening together.
The day begins with optional morning yoga or a morning run before breakfast and an ocean-based activity or excursion. This day is designed around joy, play, and shared adventure, with time later in the day for connection, movement, and group fun.
In the evening, we’ll gather for dinner, dance, celebration, and an optional breathwork session.
Today will focus on Madeira’s lush, green interior and one of the island’s signature waterfall experiences. Possible activities may include a levada walk or waterfall trail through one of the island’s most beautiful natural areas.
We’ll close the retreat with a celebratory dinner, time together, and a final optional breathwork session centered around gratitude, connection, and community.
Enjoy a final breakfast at the villa before departures. Guests leave with space to carry forward the energy of the week — more grounded, more alive, and more connected.
“For me, I got to heal. It was re-awaking to life. I fell back in love with life thanks to the retreat. It was definitely one of the most incredible experiences.”
