Personal retreat for founders in my yurt

Slow down, return to the land, and work from a space that supports you.

Sometimes what a founder needs is not another tool or another conversation. It is to stop. A personal retreat at my yurt in Sintra, Portugal, at your pace, with room for quiet and someone to hold it with you.

What is in it

Slowing down

Days with no meetings and no messages, set by the body and not the calendar. Most founders who come discover how long it has been since they were in a hurry to nowhere.

The land

Time in nature and with the earth. Founders live too much in the head, and the body reorganizes when it goes outside and does something with the hands.

Spiritual guidance

Conversation and practice around the questions that have no place in the calendar: what this business serves in your life, where you are heading, and what asks to be left behind.

A supportive workspace

A quiet place to work on one thing that matters to you, for a few hours without interruption, with someone holding the rhythm. You can come to stop, and you can come to finish.

By the end of the retreat

You return with a quiet you can recognize, one decision clearer than before, and your own rhythm back.

You cannot sharpen a business from exhaustion.

How to start

Next retreats: November 2026, first and second week of the month, in Sintra. Three days and two nights, 950 euro (launch price).

We talk for 30 minutes, free and with no commitment. You tell me what you need now, and we see together whether a retreat is the right step and what the days would look like.

If you are planning or returning from a deep experience, there is also a preparation and integration retreat.

If you prefer weekly coaching, there is systems and productivity coaching and emotional and communication coaching.

Questions founders ask

Is this therapy or coaching?

Coaching and guidance. I am not a therapist and this is not a substitute for therapy. If something comes up that needs therapy, I will tell you directly and refer you.

I cannot disconnect from work completely. Is that fine?

Yes. A supportive workspace is part of the idea: a quiet place to work on one thing, with no messages and no meetings, with someone holding the rhythm. Those who need to stop completely stop. Those who need to finish one thing, finish it.

Where is it, and what does it cost?

My yurt in Sintra, Portugal. The next retreats are in November 2026, in the first and second week of the month. Price: 950 euro for three days and two nights, a launch price. Guests sleep in a guest room at the yurt, with a heating fireplace. What is included and arrival details are set after an intro call.

Do I need other coaching, systems or communication?

They can be combined. A retreat suits the moment before you build a system, after a long stretch of pressure, or when a big decision needs quiet. Weekly coaching can continue afterwards.
