Chakra Awakening Retreat

REGISTER

A journey through the Chakras

Each day of the retreat will be dedicated to one of the seven chakras, starting from the Root and rising up to the Crown. Through a carefully curated blend of yoga asana, meditation, breathwork, and experiential workshops, we will explore the qualities, imbalances, and healing tools associated with each energy center.
You’ll learn to feel into your body as a map of consciousness—your Root Chakra grounding you into safety and presence; your Sacral Chakra inviting creativity and emotional flow; your Solar Plexus awakening power and will; your Heart opening into love; your Throat expressing truth; your Third Eye illuminating insight; and your Crown connecting you to source. This is more than a retreat—it’s a rewiring of energy, and a chance to embody your wholeness.

What to Expect

Daily Chakra Practices – Morning and evening yoga tailored to each chakra, from energizing flows to deeply restorative yin and sound journeys
Meditation & Breathwork – Practices to regulate your nervous system, quiet the mind, and expand awareness
Chakra Workshops – Dive into the symbolism, psychology, and somatic tools to understand and heal each energy center
Free Time in Nature – Rest, journal, swim in the river, or simply be
Sacred Ink Ceremonies – Optional tattoo sessions in nature with our guest artist, offering a permanent anchor for your journey
Nutritious Meals – Wholesome, vegetarian meals to nourish your body and support your inner work
A Heart-Centered Community – A group of like-minded souls sharing, growing, and evolving together

Location

Lush green pine forests, natural river pools and pure mountain air - our retreat location, Vale de Moses , is located in a wooded mountain valley in central Portugal.
Here, let your soul dangle in the hammocks, listen to the sound of waterfalls, and wake up daily to the sound of the wind in the pine trees. Far from all the hustle and bustle, you can switch off and recharge your batteries in the midst of nature.
The entire retreat center belongs to us exclusively for this time! You have the option of flying to Lisbon or Porto and from there, taking the train (Rede Expressos) to Oleiros, or carpooling with other retreat participants to the retreat location.
Accomodation

Since their arrival in 2008, the owners (Joshua and Eloise) have lovingly restored the entire location with all their heart and soul – always with the utmost respect for the old Portuguese building techniques, which rely on natural materials such as clay, lime, stone and wood. This has resulted in beautiful traditional accommodations. You can choose from a variety of accommodations: private double rooms in the main house, single beds in open, shared cottages, or glamping Belle tents shaded by strawberry trees.
If you are curious, you can check out the rooms at Vale de Moses on their website .
Food

You certainly won’t go hungry at our retreat!
Every day, the Vale de Moses team lovingly prepares three delicious and nutritious vegetarian or vegan meals for us . Fresh vegetables, salads, and fruit are sourced—depending on the season—from their own garden, neighbors, or their favorite greengrocer in Oleiros.
With years of experience in vegetarian and vegan cuisine around the world, they conjure up dishes that are not only delicious but also particularly digestible according to the principles of Ayurveda .
Ink Ceremony

Caro from lunalia.tatts invites you on a transformative journey of self-empowerment: a ritual tattoo ceremony! The in-depth work during a retreat often brings up themes that point us in a new direction. Together with Caro, you will convert these themes into powerful affirmations and transform them into your own power symbol .
During a very personal and private ceremony, Caro will tattoo your power symbol, thereby unlocking the potential you wish to invite. Together, you will discover the meaning of individual body parts and the energy centers underlying them. You will carefully choose which tattoo placement supports your affirmation.
You are entirely free to choose the location of the ceremony. It can be a place of connection, peace, and beauty . Practicing such a ritual in nature invites the grounding and healing power of Pacha Mama into your tattoo.

*The ink ceremony is optional and not included in the price of the retreat.

She completed her basic Vinyasa training in Rishikesh, followed by many other advanced training course s such as Yin Yoga and Creative Sequencing. Viki's focus is on creative and dynamic flows balanced with grounding meditation and breathing techniques.

Special guest: Carolina Temporelli

As a tattoo artist, Caro sees the body as a living canvas where every cell tells its unique story. Her work is inspired by traditional rituals and symbols of power, weaving spiritual dimensions into a contemporary art form rooted in an ancient tradition. She combines the gentle art of hand-poking with the precision of machine technology. Every touch is a dance, every dot an intention. For Caro, tattoos are not simply decorative ornaments, but a profound integration of self-empowerment and symbolism. Each design carries its own sacred meaning. They tell stories that speak from within you—stories of strength, growth, and transformation.
