Women's Yoga and Life Coaching Retreat
Are you doing life or is life doing you? Rooted Lifestyle believes that a retreat can be so much more than ‘just’ an opportunity to relax and unwind. A retreat is also the perfect time to reconnect with yourself, nourish your body, mind, and soul and initiate transformation. Only once you reconnect with these deeper layers of yourself and once you nourish your body, mind, and soul can you thrive in life.

The Shanti Space is a beautiful traditional fifth set in the forest of a national park. Cocooned by nature, its neighbors are Iberian Wolf Sanctuary, the Tapada de Mafra where many animals like deer, wild boar, and owls also resides. There are six different room options, so you can make your trip perfect for your needs, with a special option to stay in a bell tent in the middle of the forest!
All rooms have comfortable beds, beautiful Portuguese style interiors, bedlinen, and towels. It's a lovely space for you to retreat yourself from the group, to write in your journal, and to rest. The bell tents are super cozy and comfortable, but for the slightly more adventurous soul. The tents have an outdoor and indoor bathroom available for use.
The quinta also comes with a couple of cute cats. Rooted Lifestyle does their best at all times to keep the cats out of communal indoor spaces and rooms and they appreciate your help with this by keeping doors closed at all times.
Program
The society you live in is a very masculine and rational place, and you mostly live from the head. You have lost the deep connection with your bodies. But your bodies hold your emotions, your deepest desires for life, and the answer to who you really are. When was the last time you took time out just for you? To rest, reconnect, and rediscover what truly matters to you?
Sometimes, people need space and permission from someone else to do this, because they simply can’t allow themselves this deep selfcare. It seems ‘too much’ and that they don’t deserve it.
So that’s what Rooted Lifestyle will do for you. They will create and hold space for your journey back towards yourself and they will give you full permission to nourish yourself on every level. Throughout this whole week, you are your priority number one.
Are you ready to switch the light back on?
If yes, then Rooted Lifestyle invites you to spend five days with them in a magical space in rural Portugal. There is something about that place, something that’s hard to put into words, but the energy of the woods, the air, and the animals around The Shanti Space will guide you on your path. You will leave feeling nourished in every possible way, connected, and confident to start doing life your way.
On this retreat, you will not ‘just’ eat healthy and practice yoga. This is also a safe space to reconnect with your body, to heal, reflect, and initiate a transformation to live life according to your rules and desires, not society’s. This is a journey back home to yourself.
Something special happens when you bring women together. There is nothing more powerful than a group of women healing and growing together, building their strength and confidence, leaning into their feminine, and remembering who they are.
Through yoga, meditation, breathwork, nourishing meals, nature, massages, rest, and good conversations, you will:
- Embark on a healing journey and reconnect with those deeper layers of yourself
- Finally rest at the deepest level
- Find clarity on what you really want in this life and how to get there
- Recognize and delete your own internal blocks and fears that stop you from reaching these goals
Remember what it feels like to feel good, be free and make decisions from your heart, because you’re worth it
Come explore and reconnect with your body and your heart, and leave as a better version of yourself: calmer, rested, clear on what you want, and more confident.

Instructors
Myrthe van Gameren
3 Certificates
Show
Myrthe van Gameren is a late 80´s born ex-corporate girl who decided to change her life. Starting this company began with the blurry idea that she wanted to do something with health, fitness, yoga, food, her project management talent, organizing skills and joy in helping people to feel better in their own skin. She wanted to combine all the things that make her happy and her talents into the perfect job for her. So there she is, now living in Bali, working as a yoga teacher and health coach and running her MPWR retreat business.
Retreat location
You will be staying in The Shanti Space, a beautiful and peaceful old Quinta only 30 minutes north of Lisbon. The venue is set in a national park and surrounded with beautiful fruit trees, giant oak corks, grape vines, and a stream at the end of the garden where you often encounter deer and wild boar.
It is a space to retreat, rest, and restore well-being while bathed in abundant nature. At night, you hear the howl of the wolves from the Iberian Wolf Sanctuary next door. Within a 25-minute drive, you will reach the fierce waves of the Atlantic coast and the charming surf town, Ericeira.
Distances
- Ericeira - 25 minutes

Food
The food you eat can be a medicine to nourish, strengthen, and heal imbalances in your body and your brain. Therefore, Rooted Lifestyle's private chefs from Lunna Plants serve the most delicious, next level healthy, nourishing meals.
Their way of cooking is based on Ayurvedic medicine, and they use so many beautiful herbs and spices to make every dish tasty for the tongue and healing for the body.
Their products are locally sourced, seasonal, and organic. All meals are vegan, gluten free, and refined sugar free. You’ll receive an amazing, satisfying brunch and dinner every day, and snacks in between. The basis of each meal is veggies, fruits, nuts, seeds, beans, herbs, spices, and whole grains.
But don’t be fooled! You won’t go hungry there and it isn’t rabbit style food. Your stomach is going to love their food and you’ll feel satisfied and energized in a new way. You’ll also learn a lot about food as medicine from these talented and wise chefs.
It’s a detox, but then a great one where you don’t have to starve yourself.
As part of this vision to let food be medicine and cleanse participants' bodies, they don’t serve coffee and alcohol on this retreat. But plenty of delicious coffee replacements are available, such as chai, matcha, herbal teas, and infusions.
