Azores – Inner & Outer Healing and Yoga Retreat, September 2025

Return to Your Element. 9-day healing and yoga retreat – for conscious women and men seeking true transformation

The first time I arrived in the Azores was in June 2022. As I looked out of the plane window, I already knew: this was not just a trip, but a reunion – with purity, with vitality, with breath. The moment my feet touched the island, something deep within me came home. The air was so gently uplifting, so energetically clear that I felt it in every cell: this was my first time here, but certainly not my last.

The Azores are not loud. They don’t push themselves on you. But they are powerful. Here, the elements are real: the fire in the volcanic grounds, the water of the vast Atlantic, the wind through the mountains, the sun and light drizzle playing at once, and the ether – that still, silent presence that words cannot touch. It’s as if you could breathe in life itself. As someone deeply attuned to energies, I can say: there are other sacred places on Earth, but the Azores are uniquely alive. Still natural. Still authentic. A rare paradise within easy reach of Europe. I knew I had to share it.

This is how the Journey of the Five Elements was born.

What makes this journey unlike any other?

It’s not about schedules or performance. It’s about reconnecting with your own rhythm – with the ancient elemental nature within you. We all carry a dominant element (or two) since birth – Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether. Over time, the noise of daily life can disconnect us from that essence. This retreat helps you restore that harmony – gently, intuitively, and in nature’s embrace.

This healing retreat is more than just a yoga retreat. It’s a mental health retreat. A detox from the chaos of modern life. A deeply immersive health and wellness experience.

Here, nothing is forced – but everything is possible.

– Gentle, guided yoga, qigong and pilates – always in flow with the day, the weather, the landscape 
– You may pause for movement by a waterfall, practice yoga on a forest clearing, or simply breathe deeply on the beach 
– Movement here is presence – not performance 
– Presence-based mentoring throughout – to help you reconnect with your center 
– Breathwork, nature walks, and energy awareness 
– Individual guidance and support 
– Optional one-on-one energy healing is also available upon prior request 
– After the retreat, you can also opt for continued integration support 
– And most importantly: nothing is mandatory – this is your journey, in your rhythm

Who is this healing and yoga retreat for?

– Those feeling mentally or physically overwhelmed, in need of real rest 
– Those navigating transitions, seeking clarity and new direction 
– Those who live consciously, but sense it’s time to deepen their connection 
– Nature lovers, soul-seekers, and those ready to reconnect with their essence 
– Anyone longing for peace, depth, and presence – not isolation, but authentic space 

You’ll be part of a small, intimate group – maximum 10 participants – held in a safe, nourishing field of awareness.

Before departure, you’ll complete a short personal reflection to help align the journey with your needs. And after the retreat, we offer follow-up options to support integration – if and when you feel called.

The island & the space where you’ll arrive. Perfect for a healing and yoga retreat.

Our home for the retreat is a peaceful boutique hotel on São Miguel island. Nestled between ocean, forest, and volcanic land, this space offers the perfect balance of comfort and connection to nature. Private and shared spaces, a pool, fresh local meals, and silence where it matters. The sound of the Atlantic will guide you throughout.
