Animame Retreats
The concept of Animame Retreats is a return to the land, a time to sync with the cycles of mother nature. Coming home to our truth, our essence and our wildness.
Drawing inspiration from the Portuguese "anima-me" (cheer me up, encourage me) and the Latin "anima" ("soul," "breath," "life").
These transformative experiences offer a space to breathe life into your dreams, nurture your spirit, and awaken the fire within.
The retreats take place at the sanctuary of Animame Algarve, for more information, check out the website:
Rest
A major element of our retreats is slowing down and creating the time and space to heal the body and mind. This is done though a variety of modalities such a yoga, introspective breathwork, meditation,and various rituals.
Create
It is through creativity that we access parts of ourselves often silenced by routine—our wild instincts, our untamed dreams, and our deepest truths.Creativity is a gateway to transformation, allowing us to access our raw, authentic selves and express emotions that words cannot reach.
Play
Connecting with our inner child is at the heart of our retreats, through play we remember what it means to be alive.We love activities like painting, acting, dancing, and creating something out of nothing. Imagine turning the back yard into a fashion show or a greenhouse into a bedroom for the ultimate sleepover. We like to play out of the box!
Story
Storytelling allows us to share our truths, honor our journeys, and create a sense of community through vulnerability and understanding.
Through stories, we see reflections of ourselves in others, breaking down barriers and fostering deep bonds. Storytelling helps us process our experiences, reframe limiting beliefs, and find meaning in our challenges
Explore
When we travel we not only discover a new place but also new aspects of ourself. Exploring and trying new things is paramount at our retreats. Getting out of our comfort zones creates growth and brings us power and confidence!
Connection
Connecting with ourselves, each other, and nature is vital for healing and growth. It grounds us in our truth, fosters belonging, and reminds us of the interconnectedness of all life, creating space for clarity, renewal, and transformation.
