Thrive!
A Life Reset

March 12-16, 2025  |  Odemira, SW Portugal

 

Are you ready to live a deeper life with full expression and mental clarity?

Do you yearn for emotional richness in your relationships and embodied resources for pleasure?

Are you ready to leave old imprints, limiting beliefs and outdated patterns behind?

Do you desire to step into your future with expanded capacity, ready to engage with life in a fresh way? 

 

In decades of extensive work with high performing individuals Michaela has developed a special body of work that clarifies and unlocks the potential for pleasure and fulfillment in life and addresses the blocks that so often cause limitation and self-sabotage.

For the first time ever, Michaela will offer this material in this brand new immersive 4-day retreat in Portugal.

In this retreat you will explore the BIG 3 areas that offer the greatest potential for transformation and most often contain the limiting beliefs, old blocks and  energy leaks. Through somatic and yogic practices, ritual, paired processes and Q&A’s, Michaela will guide you into each of these areas to discover where you are, where you want to go and what holds you back.

You will define areas that need an up-leveling of skill, and work with energy leaks or old imprints, false beliefs, and inter-generational and developmental patterns that no longer serve you.

Through exercises, solo, paired and group processes, embodiment practices and shamanic rituals you will:

  • Define, release and call in the freshest iteration of who you are.
  • Create a deeply personal visual roadmap to support you.
  • Leave the retreat with a renewed sense of purpose, vitality and a renewed commitment to yourself and your relationships - both personal and professional.
  • Receive tools and practices to action those commitments.  
  • This retreat is for those who wish to live a deeper life with full expression, mental clarity, emotional richness and embodied resources. When you leave old imprints, limiting beliefs and outdated patterns behind, it becomes possible to step into your future with expanded capacity, ready to engage with life in a fresh way.

    This retreat provides you with the tools to “get unstuck” and equips you with a personalized, holistic and sustainable set of embodiment practices and exercises to nurture deep transformation and lasting capacity.
Your BIG 3 Areas of Inquiry
Vitality

The ability to embody deeply with vitality is available to all of us, regardless of age and stage of life.

Examining where attention, energy and vibrancy are lost, either in the hustle of everyday life, within old programming or through lack of skill or practice, is only the first step.

From there you will reset your nervous system, explore your relationship with your body, learn how to listen deeply to your body’s messages through finer calibration and deeper connection.

From that place intuition, boundary setting and pleasure can be accessed, explored and re-defined.

From there you can re-shape, re-lease and re-commit to practices and behaviors that give you a deeper sense of well being, energy and care for yourself.

Abundance

A life of meaning and purpose begins with inner wealth – the ability to value who you are, identify and give your gifts, care for yourself not only physically, but acknowledge who you are, define your scope of ability and honor your worth and value as well as set proper boundaries. The inner wealth is reflected in the outer world, not only in available resources but in how you are perceived and treated.

Abundance, which includes all aspects of a rich and meaningful life, is often choked by intergenerational beliefs and ‘family curses” and hindered by societal messages of lack, scarcity mindset and the need to conform.

You will engage in inquiry around the areas of lack and scarcity, explore and release old patterns through embodiment practice and shamanic ritual and create your personal opening into abundance, generosity and the ability to accept support of all kinds.

The principles of abundance arise from a psycho-emotional bodily disposition. You will learn how to generate heart-ful purpose through the body, exploring how to engage with inner and outer wealth in an integrous and meaningful way.

Relationships

Many of us crave deep and fulfilling intimate relationship and an enjoyable erotic life, free from conditioning, shame and societal influence. In today’s world we are faced with many choices about how to have relationship and with whom. There is endless information, conversation, and opinion, about relationship types, erotic tips and tricks, and lifestyle options.. Despite this, the societal and social media messages (and dogmas) can be overwhelming, confusing and often stand in stark contrast with what our hearts and bodies yearn for.

In this retreat you will take stock of your relational and intimate life, examine and define what you truly desire as well as release old relational beliefs, patterns and imprints. The emphasis will be on connecting to your deepest yearning and refining the next steps – skills, actions and expressed desires through the lens of your life’s meaning and purpose. You will align who you are, your gifts and offerings with your heart’s desire and your innate inner worth and value. This alignment will allow you step fresh into the realm of relationship and the erotic. Regardless if you are in a relationship, desire a new partner or have chosen to deepen into a fuller connection with yourself, this exploration will allow you to powerfully create a renewed engagement with yourself and those around you – from a place of embodied depth and alignment.

It was everything and much more than I expected!

“It was very deep, very “down to earth” and honest, the people attending the retreat were amazing as well as the location, everything very well organized and the process itself so much deeper than I expected! I felt really safe from the first minute and was able to process a lot during those days (and afterwards), thanks to the careful and very professional guidance by Michaela and Steve.”

Anna

She is authentic, a leader and loving.

“I uncovered qualities within myself that I previously believed were scarce or nonexistent. This newfound self-awareness has equipped me with the knowledge of how to apply these qualities in my life. The experience was both beautiful and nurturing, offering significant personal growth.”

Brenda

To wake this part up feels like a force of nature that has been activated.

“The Flavor Retreat was a deep immersion into my deepest hidden corners of my physical body and into the unknown realms of the dormant ravishing aspects of my being.”
