🌿 Awaken Your Senses in Terceira

Private Room

5 days, 4 nights in the Azores

Yoga, adventure, nature and space to reset

Join Gret for an immersive retreat on the island of Terceira, where volcanic landscapes, Atlantic swims, movement and stillness come together to create space for a genuine reset.

Terceira is an island where time seems to slow.

A place of rolling green pastures, ancient lava fields, dramatic coastlines, volcanic caves and endless Atlantic blue. 🌊

Over five days and four nights, we’ll explore the island, move our bodies, reconnect with nature and create space to step out of the noise of everyday life.

This is a retreat for anyone craving something that feels both adventurous and restorative.

Time to move.
Time to breathe.
Time to experience somewhere extraordinary.
And time to come back to yourself. ✨

✨ The Experience

We’ll be staying at Xhale Azores, a private luxury eco-retreat surrounded by nature.

It’s a beautiful base for the week, with space to slow down between adventures and enjoy the sauna, Turkish bath and heated infinity pool.

Each day will be shaped around a balance of movement, exploration and restoration.

Expect adventurous days out in Terceira’s volcanic landscape, balanced with daily yoga, mindfulness and time to simply be.

Across the retreat, you’ll experience:

🥾 Hiking through Terceira’s central volcanic plateau
🌋 Exploring the extraordinary interior of Algar do Carvão
💦 A canyoning adventure through waterfalls and hidden corners of the island
🌊 Swimming in Terceira’s natural ocean pools
🧘‍♀️ Daily yoga and mindfulness sessions
🌿 Time to experience the grounding energy of the volcanic landscape
🍽️ Local food and the flavours of the Azores
✨ Space to rest, reflect and reconnect
🔥 Access to the sauna, Turkish bath and heated infinity pool at Xhale Azores

🌊 Discover Terceira

We’ll also spend time exploring Angra do Heroísmo, a UNESCO World Heritage city known for its pastel-coloured buildings, cobbled streets and grand churches.

Terceira played an important role as a crossroads during the Age of Discovery, and its history sits alongside a landscape that feels remarkably wild and untouched.

Step beyond the city and the island opens into an entirely different world.

Black-sand beaches.
Natural swimming pools.
Rolling green hills.
Ancient lava fields.
Volcanic caves carved deep into the earth.

It’s a landscape designed to wake up the senses. ✨

🧘‍♀️ More Than a Yoga Retreat

This retreat isn’t about spending five days on a yoga mat.

Yoga and mindfulness are part of the rhythm of the experience, but so are adventure, play, nature, conversation, good food and rest.

Some moments will ask you to move beyond your comfort zone.

Others will invite you to slow right down.

The intention is to create a retreat that feels alive, spacious and grounded, rather than over-scheduled.

There will be structure, but also room to respond to the energy of the group, the island and the moment. 🌿

🌿 Your Guide

Gret Batchelar

Gret has been practising yoga for over 25 years.

After a successful career in fashion ended in burnout, her attention turned more deeply towards yoga, nervous system work and conscious living as a way to reset her health and begin again.

In 2020, Gret completed her 200Hr RYT training at a Baron Baptiste certified studio and founded Conscious Working, bringing together her experience in leadership, wellbeing and personal transformation.

After moving to Portugal in 2021, she opened her home yoga and wellbeing studio, Soulstice, where she leads classes, workshops and experiences designed to help people reconnect with themselves, regulate their nervous systems and awaken their own power.

Gret will lead the Terceira retreat personally, creating an experience that is thoughtfully held but never rigid.

The days will be guided intuitively, weaving together yoga, movement, mindfulness, adventure and space to simply be. ✨

🌿 Who This Retreat Is For

This retreat may be for you if you’re craving a change of pace.

If life has felt noisy, full or over-scheduled.

If you want to reconnect with your body and spend more time outside your usual routine.

If you love the idea of combining yoga and mindfulness with adventure and exploration.

Or if you simply want five days somewhere extraordinary, with the space to move, breathe, rest and reset. ✨

You do not need to be an advanced yogi.

You do not need to be particularly adventurous.

You simply need to be open to the experience.

✨ What to Expect

This retreat has been created to hold both adventure and restoration.

Some days will be active.

Some moments will be deeply quiet.

There will be time together and time for yourself.

The exact flow may shift depending on weather, the group and what feels right in the moment.

That flexibility is part of the experience.

Rather than rushing from one activity to the next, the intention is to allow the week to unfold with enough spaciousness for you to actually experience it.

🌊 Five Days to Step Out of the Everyday

To experience a different rhythm.

To move through extraordinary landscapes.

To swim in the Atlantic.

To explore the inside of a volcano.

To challenge yourself.

To slow down.

To breathe more deeply.

And perhaps return home feeling a little more connected to yourself than when you arrived. 🌿
