In collaboration with Shiva Shakti Studios
Embrace the Shift - A Sacred Pause Retreat
6th - 11th October 2025 - Arrabida Portugal
As the light begins to soften and autumn whispers its arrival, we invite you to Quinta do Rio this October for a retreat designed to honour the seasonal shift.
Set during the Libra season, just after the Autumn Equinox, this initiating air energy calls us to slow down and tune into October’s golden hush. To rebalance deeply and gracefully to cultivate physical, emotional and energetic equilibrium.
This season rules the kidneys and endocrine system – the guardians of purification and hormonal flow,and overall acid/alkaline balance. Through selected yoga practices-Kriyas and intuitive vinyasa, breathwork, meditation and mantra, we will gently align body, mind and soul in a nourishing rhythm of restoration.
What to Expect
Starting your day with morning Kriya’s you will awaken your energy through kundalini yoga.
Through an Earth Sipping Meditation, after breakfast, you will connect to the Earth and Stellar Stars, clearing any blockages held at the deeper level of your energy centres.
Through a late afternoon intuitive vinyasa flow you will ground your energy.
Through an evening meditation session you will calm your nervous system and reconnect to your inner rhythm.
And through Astrology, Healing, and Shamanic practices offered by Camilla and Jackie you can expand your understanding of your soul’s calling!
Expect nourishing food, nature walks, sacred stillness, and connection to a like-minded community.
Whether your intention is to release, move, heal, reawaken or simply be — you’re welcome, exactly as you are. This retreat offers a space to realign with what truly matters, YOU!!!
Come join us for five nights and days of movement, stillness, breathing, meditation and sacred connection. Come as you are, leave transformed.

I will not forget this special time at SolHenge.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

What incredible magic you both have within you and that you have woven through space and time here.
Jackie - Thank you for calling me here for a connection that transcends words and for helping to clear space to expand and receive. Your beautiful energy, incredible smile, wicked sense of humour and hint of fire is perfection.
Camilla – Thank you for helping me land and ground in SO many ways on SO many levels. You have the most incredible grounded, earthing energy and glorious hint of mischief. I feel such a draw towards you and your work that I don’t yet understand, but I know I will.
Thank you for everything, this week, right now and all that is coming.

Marta
Breath of fire
And morning chill
Dazzling sun that rose over the green valley
And the call of nightingales at dusk
Messages on the wind
And rainstorms for the dry land
In every season, every weather
Did we stay a year or just a morning?
We travelled to the stars
Down to the earths’ core
While we were lying in shavasana
In a barn on a French hillside
With our two gentle glorious guides
Letting go. Letting in
Light life and love
Francesca
To be held and nurtured by the two of you in this magical space has been a blessing.
Thank you from my heart and thank you from my soul.
With love always
Fiona
There really are few words to express my sincere thanks to you both for the wonderful week I have experienced here at SolHenge.
A powerful vortex of energy that has embodied me on all levels.
I am feeling strong, determined and happy again.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
Elizabeth
I said I had no expectations and I came here to receive, and I certainly did! Thank you from the deepest part of my heart for holding space so eloquently, generously and also and always with a spark of humour. Deeply transformative and I am so grateful for all of your techiques, the beautiful energy exchange - and for always being so understanding
and soft with your strength.
Big love to you both, divinely timed (of course)
Vanessa
