DESIGN YOUR NEXT CHAPTER
DAY RETREAT IN FLORESTA ENCANTADA, SINTRA
Tuesday 25th of March 2025
Spring is the season of renewal—a time when nature blossoms and invites us to grow alongside it. It’s the perfect moment to embrace a fresh start, reconnect with your strengths and values, and step into the future version of yourself with clarity and confidence.
Portugal enchants us with its lush landscapes, stunning beaches, and tranquil way of life. But carving out a new chapter here can sometimes feel overwhelming and lonely, leaving you unsure of your next steps.
That’s why we’ve designed a rejuvenating daylong retreat to help you align with your unique path, supported by a vibrant community of like-minded women.
THE JOURNEY
🌟 Discover Your Inner Compass: We’ll begin by exploring your natural strengths and values—those innate talents and core beliefs that act as your internal GPS. Reflecting on these will uncover insights into your past and illuminate possibilities for future growth.
🎨 Vision Your Future: Through a creative collage practice, you’ll map out what’s possible, blending inspiration from your past, presence in the now, and dreams for the future. You’ll leave with a beautiful piece of artwork that reflects your journey and serves as a guide for what lies ahead.
🧘♀️ Moving Through Change: We’ll integrate what we learn through guided yoga, meditation and mindfulness sessions throughout the day.
WHAT YOU’LL EXPLORE
Whether you’re seeking clarity during a transition, yearning to break free from creative stagnation, or looking to infuse your life with passion and purpose, this retreat is your opportunity to blossom.
Join us this Spring Equinox and let’s celebrate renewal together. It’s time to confidently embrace your next chapter—rooted in your strengths, guided by your values, and inspired by the future you’re ready to create.
We can’t wait to welcome you!

GRET BATCHELAR
Gret grew in a suburb of New York City and has been practising yoga for 25 years. Along the way, she tested Hatha, Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Kundalini and Power, each bringing its own gifts and guidance to the mat. Power Vinyasa became her preferred choice, and with it that sense of accomplishment and clarity of mind.
After a successful career in fashion ended with burnout, her attentions turned to yoga to reset her health and a new start as an entrepreneur, teacher and mentor. In 2020, Gret completed her 200Hr RYT in a Baron Baptiste certified studio, and founded Conscious Working, a wellbeing at work consultancy, alongside Tribe an online yoga and wellbeing membership platform.
Moving to Portugal in 2021 has allowed her to open a home yoga & wellbeing studio, Soulstice, which offers a range of classes & workshops all geared to awakening your power.
