This retreat is for you if:
You give endlessly, but feel that there is nobody around to take care of you.
You have been the strong & reliable one for too long, and yearn to experience your soft energy again.
Your relationship with your body and emotions needs healing and realigning.
You’ve forgotten what it means to be in your feminine. Maybe you’ve never known.
You want to experience the feminine & magnetic power in relationships that everyone talks about, but nobody tells you exactly how to get.
You log to be seen, gotten and chosen.
Would you dare to prioritize yourself and reclaim your birthright to be in feminine flow?
When your feminine and masculine come into harmony, your life transforms.
The masculine within you is the steady ground—your structure, your clarity, your protector. The feminine within you is creation, intuition, and your capacity to receive. When they work together, you step into your fullest potential: a woman who is held, supported, and free to create the life she truly desires.
Learn how to cultivate both energies within yourself, to release the socialization that has held you back as a woman. Shift from the victimhood you have experienced to becoming the creator of your preferred reality.
The goddess has always been in you. It’s time to let her rise. This is our goal, this is our journey!

“It is in the space of child-like presence and creativity that we show the full expression of our authentic selves.”
As the creator of The HEART approach, Dr. Monica combines her comprehensive training as a Registered Social Worker and Psychology Ph.D. with a deep commitment to relational mindfulness.
With 22 years of experience as a therapist, university instructor, and extensive doctoral-level research, Dr. Monica has put together the most transformative practices to help others live in full expression. Self-love, boundaries, emotional release, and becoming a powerful creator of dreams and meaning, are the foundations of The Self-Awakening Retreat.

What You Can Expect
Our daily structure varies. Dr. Monica tailors the program in real-time to match the energy of the group for the most effective experience. Most days, we begin our journey between 4 and 6 am. You get to choose if you want to join us for the early activities or take a longer snooze and join us for the first meeting between 7 and 8 am.
Day One — Arrival & Opening
Arrive in the peaceful mountains of Portugal and settle into your cozy room. Connect with the other women and begin exploring feminine and masculine energy in a way that helps you understand yourself and your relationships in new ways.
Day Two — Emotional Release & Embodiment
Use breathwork to release stored emotions and tension. Through sensory, grounding practices, start reconnecting with your natural feminine essence and feel yourself belonging to the lineage of powerful women before you.
Day Three — Inner Child Reconnection
Reconnect with your child self—the girl who plays, makes friends easily, imagines, and expresses freely. Explore the deep connection between creativity and feminine energy, and learn how bringing her back into your life can restore joy, ease, and emotional resilience.
Day Four — Feminine Power & Confidence
Step into the full expression of your feminine power. Learn to move through the world with confidence, trust, and embodied presence. Meet your inner seductress—the part of you that is magnetic, self-assured, and deeply alive.
Day Five — Inner Freedom & Healing
Harmonize your feminine and masculine energies to create internal stability & freedom. Experience mindfulness journeys to release romantic relationships in your past so that you can embrace a more loving and fulfilling future.
Day Six — Integration & Sisterhood
Integrate everything you’ve discovered and prepare to return home feeling whole. Spend meaningful time in community, ask your final questions, and leave with practical tools—and a newfound sisterhood—to support you long after the retreat ends.

What is Sound Healing?
Sound healing is a sensory experience that promotes relaxation, bliss, and inner harmony. We use various specially tuned instruments designed to evoke presence and mindfulness, aiding you on your transformational journey through grounding and beauty. Sound healing uses vibrations and frequencies to affect you on a physical and spiritual level, to uplift you on an energetic level, inspire insight, and remind you of all the wonder the world has to offer.
Why Breathwork?
After an intense and moving experience in her own breathwork training, Dr. Monica realized how useful this could be for the participants in her retreats. Breathwork is an alternative method of emotional release, a gentler somatic practice that is accessible to everyone. Release tension, allow emotions to flow through and out of your body, and get clarity and insight through the feelings that show up for you during this practice. It can be a deeply enlightening experience, or simply an effective way to regulate your nervous system.
In this retreat, you will learn the proper techniques to get the most out of every session, as well as learn to conduct sessions on your own once the retreat is over to keep this skill through everyday life.
