Herdade da Ferraria, Lisbon, Portugal
Recharge in Portugal is a four night retreat for slowing down as the year starts to draw to a close. Twice daily Pilates, Barre and Yoga, nourishing food, a pool, sauna and ice bath, cosy evenings in and plenty of time to simply be. Designed for busy women who are ready for some proper 'me' time.
3rd - 7th October 2027
with Jen and guest teacher tba
Join me at Casas na Ferraria, just 45 minutes south of Lisbon, for a few days of slowing down, moving well and filling your cup back up.
As the year starts to wind down, it's easy to keep pushing through. This retreat is your invitation to do the opposite. Think strengthening Pilates and Barre to start your day, gentler movement to ease you into the evening, and long, unhurried stretches in between to swim, sauna, nap, read and wander.
Expect nourishing food made to be lingered over, a hike through the Portuguese countryside, a trip to the beach, and cosy evenings in with a brilliant group of like-minded women. There'll be heat from the sauna, a brave (and very optional) dip in the ice bath, and the occasional, very necessary, doing-absolutely-nothing with a glass of wine in hand.
Away from the noise and pace of everyday life, each day is a chance to move, rest and reconnect - with your body, with nature and with each other. You'll leave stronger, lighter and properly recharged, with a bit more space and calm to carry you into the end of the year.
This is more than a getaway. It's a chance to slow down, soak up the Portuguese sunshine and send yourself home feeling like you again.

Our retreat home.
Casas na Ferraria sits just 40 minutes south of Lisbon, close enough to arrive easily and far enough to feel like you've properly escaped. We'll be staying at Casa Mannaz, our home for the four days. Nestled within 130 hectares of unspoiled nature, this estate has evolved from a traditional Portuguese farm into a refined retreat where tradition, architecture, nature, and well-being harmoniously co-exist.
Our home offers privacy, sunlit terrace, pool, intimate living spaces, and quiet sophistication - all immersed in the natural rhythm of the estate, surrounded by century-old cork oaks, pine trees, and open meadows
Days here are made for slowing down. Start with movement, spend the middle of the day by the pool or in the sauna, then gather together in the evening for good food and good company. It's the kind of place that invites you to wander barefoot, curl up with a book and finally exhale.
