The pursuit of Happiness IN PICTURESQUE PORTUGAL

SINTRA RETREAT
27 Apr - 2 MAY 2025

With the chaotic demands of modern life, women often strive to be everything and everyone, inadvertently disconnecting from what makes us who we are. The expectations placed on women today can lead to a sense of discomfort or longing, a feeling that something is missing. With the rewards that come with excelling in these diverse roles, what is most commonly lost is our self Love which inevitably affects the ultimate human goal;Happiness.

With these concerns in mind, the upcoming retreat was designed to provide a time and space for us to reconnect with ourselves and learn about the art of relationships, in the pursuit of Happiness, and where better to feel peace, Love and happiness than in the charming town of Sintra. Fairy tale castles, endless mountain vistas, misty forests and pastel-hued homes; Sintra is like a page out of a children’s book. For our latest Vie Retreat experience in this captivating part of Portugal, we’ll be situated in the heart of the historic town in a luxurious boutique hotel, which falls part of the recognized UNESCO world heritage site. Let this “glorious Eden" be the backdrop for an unforgettable journey of self-discovery, self-Love and pursuit of Happiness.
