Spring Renewal Retreat - A 3-night/4 day sacred pause in the heart of Portugal

A sacred pause to step out of the noise, return to yourself, and allow what you already know within to become something you can finally feel, trust, and embody.

There are seasons when we don’t need another answer, another teaching, or another thing to work on.

We need intentional sacred restorative space.

Let this retreat be a gift. Allow Spring to bring you into renewal and deeper alignment with the truth of who you are - A divine be-ing deserving of rest, ease, peace, and sacred space.

Welcome to a sacred space of divine renewal.

Welcome to the heart of Portugal. Welcome to Catrinandes Retreat Center.

Welcome to your Spring awakening.

We invite you into this space to step away from everything you’ve been holding. A space where you can hear your Self beneath the noise of everyday life. A space where your body can soften, your spirit can exhale, and the deeper truth within you can become clear again.

Spring Renewal is an intimate four-day retreat devoted to deep spiritual healing, embodied renewal, and reconnection with Self & Spirit.

Held in the beauty and stillness of Portugal, this is an invitation to temporarily lay down the roles, identities, responsibilities, expectations, and constant doing of everyday life—and allow your Self to be held, nourished, supported, and deeply received.

Through guided spiritual healing, sacred ceremony, embodiment, communion with Spirit and the Earth, connection with community, nourishing food, nature, rest, and spacious time for your Self, we will create the conditions for something deeper than simply “getting away.”

This is a return. A remembering. A coming home to the part of you that has never actually been lost—only harder to hear beneath everything you’ve been carrying.

You don’t have to arrive knowing exactly what needs to shift.

You only need to feel the quiet pull that says, “it is time to make space for me again. It is time to remember and embody the divinity already within me”.

From there, we begin again.

Just imagine waking in the quiet Portuguese countryside and beginning your day slowly and intentionally, with hot tea or fragrant coffee, and nourishing food prepared for you with love.

From there, you ease into gentle healing work, wander the beautiful nature-filled property, say hello to the little beings, flowers, and trees, and share nourishing meals with a circle of people who begin to feel like longtime friends.

And as evening arrives, you find stillness beneath the stars, feeling lighter, clearer, rested, and deeply connected to your own Spirit.

Testimonials:

“I went into this retreat not really knowing what to expect. What I can say is that it exceeded every expectation.  I couldn’t have dreamed up what it would actually feel like, even if someone had described every single thing we were going to do.

A sound bath. A hike through the national forest. A cacao ceremony. A fire ceremony. Daily transmissions. On paper, those words don’t come close. It was the way each experience was held, approached, and woven together that made it something I genuinely have no words for. The description will never do it justice. You have to be there.

And then there’s Leilani. She created a space where it felt completely safe to be vulnerable, to ask every question, and to show up exactly as you are. She had a gift for making all of us women feel seen and comfortable from the very beginning. I feel I left with not just new friends but a new soul family. Aurelie, her co-facilitator alongside her was extraordinary, and the women at Catrinandes Retreat Center who fed us, cared for us, and welcomed us into their world, you could feel the love in everything they did.

For me, everything kept coming back to the same center: who I authentically am. By the end, I felt more like myself than I had in a very long time... clearer, lighter, more confident in my direction. I let go of things in Portugal that I had been carrying for years.

If you are searching for your true self, if that call is even quietly there...I don’t believe there is anything quite like this. I am already planning on attending the next one. “ - Tammy

“I came to this retreat not entirely sure what I was looking for. What I found was something I didn’t know I needed.

Leilani has a rare gift. She holds healing space the way very few people can; with warmth, with depth, and with a kind of quiet knowing that makes you feel both completely seen and completely safe. What made this experience even more meaningful is that this was actually the first time Leilani and I met in person. And yet from the very first moment, it felt like coming home to someone I’d always known.

Every experience she curated at Catrinandes Retreat Center in Molelos was intentional. We did so much. And yet nothing felt rushed. Each experience flowed into the next like it had always belonged there, like the whole retreat was one long, unfolding invitation. An invitation to a new way of being.

And my body? It finally rested. Deeply. The kind of rest I hadn’t been able to find in years.

What I walked away with wasn’t just a beautiful week in Portugal. It was clarity. The kind that had been waiting underneath the noise of my everyday life, and that I finally had the stillness to hear.

If you’re someone who is ready to do real inner work in a setting that is genuinely sacred, Leilani is the guide you want by your side. This retreat didn’t just move me. It changed the direction of things for me in ways I’m still uncovering.

I am so grateful.” - Vanessa
