Shanti Soul Retreat
October 13th to 18th in Portugal
Step into your transformative journey with SHANTI SOUL, a 6-day women’s retreat focused on healing, love & embodiment.
Hosted by Star Jones and Lara Sophie, it is with our deepest devotion we welcome you to retreat with us in Portugal in October 2025. A 6-day intimate women’s retreat, being held in the presence of love, side by side. Let the calling of your heart lead the way and step into the mystery. Surrounded by the grace of autumnal nature as she reminds you to slow down and shed the layers that no longer serve you.
This feels like a dream coming to life. We first met during a Yoga Teacher Training in India in 2022, and now, as soul sisters, we are honoured to co-create and hold this sacred container. We know in our hearts that Shanti Soul will become a portal for many women to journey through in the years to come.
This retreat is open for all women that feel called to be here.
What to expect
A 6-day intimate women’s retreat, being held in the presence of love, side by side. A journey of returning to the heart, surrendering to loves embrace as she leads you back to wholeness. It is with our deepest devotion we welcome you to retreat with us in Portugal
in October 2025.
On this Retreat we
will explore
Somatics
Explore Somatic Practices with us that support you in releasing physical and emotional tension from your body. It’s a beautiful journey of self-discovery - learning to love and honour your body, heal old wounds, and create a deep sense of peace within yourself and with those around you. This is your chance to nurture your inner fire, reclaim your strength, and embrace a life full of deeper connections and transformation.
Daily Circle Gatherings
The circle is a safe, nurturing space to slow down, drop into the heart, and release judgment. Here, feelings are honored, and you can explore your depths, shedding old layers and connecting beyond the surface. In community, we soften and witness one another’s journeys, opening the door to transformation. It is a return, a deep knowing—a reminder that there is only so much we can do alone. We need one another to thrive, to heal, and to rise together.
Breathwork
Throughout the retreat, breathwork will be naturally woven into various practices, whether incorporated into yoga, somatics, or other activities. This powerful tool will serve as a constant companion on our journey, guiding us to reconnect, stay present, and feel grounded. By focusing on our breath, we can journey deeper into our bodies, unlocking new layers of awareness while shedding what is no longer ours to carry. As we allow our breath to guide us, we'll create space for healing, clarity, and growth.
Yoga (Vinyasa & Yin)
Let Lara guide you through a strong, flowing vinyasa practice, where breath and movement dance together. This blend of strength and softness creates a perfect balance, grounding your body and mind, leaving you feeling nourished and renewed.
Star will lead a candlelit yin yoga and meditation, offering a restorative journey within. Through gentle asanas, breath, and meditation, you’ll surrender deeply, releasing what no longer serves you, and reconnecting with your inner world.
Meditation & Silences
In our retreat, silence becomes a powerful space for inner reflection and peace. Through meditation, you’ll embrace moments of stillness, allowing your mind to quiet and your heart to open. In the absence of words, deeper clarity and connection emerge, inviting you to listen to the wisdom within and find tranquility in the present moment.
Nature Walks
We will enjoy the stunning nature in our glorious retreat location together. The Shanti Space is a home away from home, where we are able to explore nature within and without in its full beauty.
