Retirarsi

An intimate, sublime retreat that feature prominent women in science, combining their teachings with holistic practices to nourish mind, body and soul.

Experience a transformative approach to learning— medicinal plants for women’s health, fertility, menopause connected to nature and community.

When we consider a woman’s health from cradle to the grave, it can feel overwhelming to understand all her changes, transitions, fluctuations and conditions, and to begin to address or resolve them. In this retreat, we explore how women’s primary hormones and most gynecological conditions and experiences can be sorted into two underlying categories from perspectives that combine Ayurveda, nāḍi theory, Chinese Medicine, and Western science.
We will also explore yoga, breath techniques and art.

Dates: 11-14 May 2025

Villa Epicurea, Meco, Portugal.

Susceptibility

Each of us has individual needs, but when we consider our physical and emotional well-being, we often don’t pay attention to these specific needs. We don’t all need the same medication, we don’t all need the same type of diet or the same hours of sleep each night, we don’t all withstand life’s pressures in the same way, we each have our weaknesses and points of weakness and we respond differently to life’s events.
Sensitivities are part of each person’s constitution, the unique and individual mask of the physical, mental and emotional characteristics of each one of us.
By recognising how each individual responds, we can understand the best treatment to cure the cause in question.
