The Personal Peace Retreat – Azores
Dates: October 14-19, 2025
Location: Minuvida Lodge, São Miguel Island, Azores

If you’ve been feeling the call to reconnect with your true self, release emotional burdens, and embrace a life of peace and empowerment, the Personal Peace Retreat in the stunning Azores is your invitation to step into transformation.

Join us at Minuvida Lodge, a tranquil haven nestled in the lush landscapes of São Miguel Island, for six days of deep healing, soul-nourishing practices, and rejuvenation. Set against the backdrop of verdant orchards and dramatic volcanic scenery, this retreat is a unique opportunity for women to break free from emotional blockages and rediscover their inherent magnificence.

What You Can Expect:

This retreat has been carefully designed to offer a holistic healing experience combining transformative therapeutic practices with an immersive experience of nature. We will dive deep into inner child reparenting, shadow work and integration, and ancestral trauma release, creating space for profound healing and personal growth. These practices, while deeply transformative, will also be supported by beginner-friendly yoga, meditation, breathwork, and somatic therapies, providing a well-rounded experience for emotional and physical healing.

Whether you are new to these practices or have experience, our experienced facilitator Amanda Wonderland will guide you through each session with compassion, expertise, and a deep commitment to your transformation. Amanda’s approach combines EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), yoga, breathwork, and mindfulness meditation, providing a powerful and nurturing space for personal growth.

Each day will begin with gentle morning yoga and meditation to help you ground and set the tone for the day. You’ll then participate in in-depth workshops focused on inner child healing, shadow work, and ancestral trauma—each designed to give you the tools and insights to heal old wounds and reclaim your full potential.

In the afternoons, you’ll have time to integrate your learnings and nourish your body with fresh, organic meals. The afternoons are also when we’ll explore the breathtaking island of São Miguel, with excursions to whale and dolphin watching spots, visits to natural hot springs, and hikes through the island’s stunning volcanic landscapes.

Our evening sessions will focus on deep connection—both with ourselves and with the women around us. We’ll gather in supportive group circles, offering space for reflection, sharing, and healing conversation. There’s also plenty of downtime to enjoy the peaceful surroundings, rest, or explore on your own.

By the end of the retreat, you will have gained clarity, confidence, and a deeper connection to your authentic self. The combination of powerful inner work and nature-based activities will leave you feeling grounded, rejuvenated, and empowered to step into the next phase of your life with courage and peace.

The Setting:

Minuvida Lodge is located on the beautiful island of São Miguel, part of the Azores Archipelago. Known for its breathtaking scenery, the Azores are often referred to as the "Island of the Gods" due to their lush, unspoiled beauty. São Miguel Island is home to volcanic lakes, hot springs, and dramatic coastal cliffs, offering the perfect environment for reflection, healing, and reconnection with nature.

Minuvida Lodge itself is nestled within an organic orchard surrounded by forests, allowing you to fully embrace the peaceful, tranquil environment while connecting with the earth and yourself. The space is designed to support both relaxation and personal growth, offering ample space for contemplation, rest, and group activities.

Why This Retreat is Different:

What truly sets the Personal Peace Retreat apart is its intimate and supportive group setting, where each participant receives personalized attention and care. With a maximum of 8 women, you’ll enjoy the space and attention needed to explore your healing journey at your own pace while benefiting from the collective energy and wisdom of the group.

This retreat is not just about relaxation—it’s about real transformation. By combining emotional healing practices like EFT, shadow work, and ancestral trauma release with activities designed to connect you to nature, you’ll experience holistic healing that goes far beyond traditional yoga or meditation.

The small group setting encourages authentic connection and a sense of sisterhood, where each woman’s healing journey is honored. We create a safe, sacred space to explore your vulnerabilities, celebrate your growth, and discover your true potential in the company of other women who are on a similar path.

What You’ll Take Away:

Clarity and insight into your life’s purpose and emotional blocks
A deeper connection to your authentic self and your innate worth
Powerful emotional freedom tools to continue your healing journey after the retreat
New friendships and a supportive community of like-minded women
Restored energy, inner peace, and a deep sense of empowerment
This retreat is perfect for any woman who is ready to let go of the past, heal deep wounds, and step into her fullest potential. Whether you’re new to emotional healing or an experienced practitioner, the Personal Peace Retreat offers something for everyone—and will leave you with the tools and support to continue your transformation long after the retreat ends.
