• Journey to Inner Compassion Retreat

    Breathe and treat your body lovingly for 7 days of restoration and self-care. Unplug from the business of life, in silence and the sounds of nature, and come home to your heart. Join me and Dr. Jorge Armesto, in the quiet village of Comporta, Portugal, to be supported by science-backed techniques that foster greater self-connection and self-compassion. 🌷
