Led by Christine Higgins, Founder of the Embodied Energy Method™
Breathe in the fresh ocean air, feel the warmth of the Algarve sun on your skin and allow the rhythm of the sea to gently guide you back to yourself.
This intimate five-day wellness retreat blends yoga, meditation, healing and soulful ritual through Christine Higgins' signature Embodied Energy Method™—a practical framework designed to help regulate your nervous system, restore balance and reconnect you with your authentic self.
With small, welcoming groups and time each day to simply pause and breathe, this retreat offers the perfect balance of guided wellbeing experiences, meaningful connection and complete relaxation.
Each day is thoughtfully designed to support your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing through beach yoga, guided meditation, breathwork, healing practices and restorative evening rituals, all set against the breathtaking backdrop of Portugal's Algarve coastline.
Whether you're watching the sunrise over the ocean, exploring the beautiful streets of Lagos, sailing to the Benagil Caves or simply relaxing by the sea, every moment becomes part of your journey back to balance.
Set within the beautiful Vila Galé Lagos Hotel on Meia Praia Beach, this retreat is an invitation to slow down, reconnect with yourself and return home feeling calmer, lighter and deeply renewed.
