When three soul sisters meet around the world to spread harmony, health, joy and powerful energies to those who want to embrace all of this, Silvia Shiva, Sarah Stuart & Yoga Lena do Mar are pleased to present the new retreat in Madeira.
EMBRACE YOUR SOUL with Silvia Shiva, Sarah Stuart & Yoga Lena do Mar
Join us as we support and guide you through a week of self-healing and self-nurturing in magical Madeira.
Madeira is an island full of abundance- from the mountain peaks to the deep blue ocean, from the colorful fruits to vibrant flowers. Here we can observe so much outer beauty everywhere we go, so in this journey we want to use that as encouragement to turn inward to observe, respect, and love our own inner beauty. Being in retreat allows us to fully immerse ourselves in the present and is a unique time to reconnect with our breath, body, and intentions, and to let go of what is not serving us anymore. This time is for you to relax, learn, and to re-discover and embrace who you are.
During this retreat we offer diverse yoga styles, types of workshops and experiences that will allow you to learn and try new things, activate creativity, connect with others, and turn inwards.
Our beautiful retreat will take place in the Unique Botanical Garden Hotel (Quinta Splendida) which will allow you to experience an amazing and relaxing week. The hotel is located in Caniço, a charming village nestled in the southeastern part of Madeira Island and close to the main city of Funchal. The property has around 30.000 square meters of landscaped botanical gardens with over 1.000 species of different plants, inspiring our guests to be immersed in tropical and exotic surroundings without leaving the grounds. From the outdoor pool you can enjoy fantastic views of the Atlantic Ocean and the nearby Desertas Islands natural reserve.
