Pregnancy Deserves a Collective
September 26th and 27th
November 26th and 27th
A changing body, a changing life, and so much to feel your way through, we believe that's not meant to be done alone. It's meant to be shared, held, celebrated, together.
In Sintra, we welcome you into our nest, and into a warm water temple where the body stops bracing, where weightlessness is possible, where something in you softens before you even decide to.
We eat gorgeous food, made with care, nourishment for a body doing beautiful, hard work. We rest, we laugh, we land in the unknown together.
Held by us: Marjorie, Rita and Patouf, three doulas, friends and mothers who've walked alongside over 200 pregnant women since 2017 and held by each other. 🤍
Come enjoy this journey, with your collective

Pregnancy represents the time of growth, our physiologic design demands community support. One of the feedback we have from mothers who come to this retreat is how they become more strong by being with others pregnant women.
When mothers connect to the primal movements theirs bodies organized, the body goes to ancients gesture to restore and process. The body knows how to heal. The invitation of this retreat is going into healing, nurturing, creative and collaborative experience with other pregnant women.
What we lived here stays here but will be for the next generation.
