About this Retreat
Your Guides
After serving as a director for many years, I witnessed firsthand the profound impact of modern life on mental health. Both my team, colleagues, friends and I grappled with stress, and I saw how it eroded our self-esteem and overall well-being. The demands of the workplace, coupled with the fast pace of our personal lives, leave little room to truly take care of ourselves.
Over the past year, while navigating a challenging work environment, I dedicated myself to exploring various techniques and methodologies to manage stress and build self-confidence. I experimented with yoga, meditation, dietary adjustments, coaching practices, travelled the world. These experiences transformed my life, helping me achieve a sense of balance and a renewed sense of self-worth. However, it also made me realize that human beings are complex, and there is no “one-size-fits-all” solution.
This journey inspired me to create MyShiftUp, a platform designed to unlock balance and well-being for everyone through simple, effective techniques and practices. I am excited to bring together techniques from professionals all over the world into one convenient place

Schedule
Your retreat begins with a seamless transition from the bustle of Porto to the tranquil embrace of Solar Alegria Lodge, where your arrival marks the start of a conscious disconnect from the external world. After settling into your room and enjoying a welcome drink, we will guide you through the lodge’s lush gardens and sacred yoga spaces, allowing the peaceful energy of the house to ground and settle your spirit. The first evening is anchored by an opening circle and intention-setting meditation—a vital moment to still the mind and orient your focus inward before coming together for a nourishing communal dinner that celebrates the beginning of your transformative journey.
The following days offer a deep immersion into self-discovery, balancing physical vitality with the creative manifestation of your most authentic life. Through a blend of energetic Vinyasa yoga, conscious muscle conditioning, and mindful nature walks, you will strengthen both body and mind, creating a resilient foundation for your personal aspirations. Central to the experience is a two-part Vision Board workshop, where you will clarify your deepest values and map out a visual map for your future. This introspective work is complemented by soulful rituals—including a "Let Go" fire ceremony, a restorative sound bath, and a relaxing thermal circuit in São Pedro do Sul—ensuring that you depart after our final closing circle with a clear, actionable plan and a revitalized spirit.
