Lost your creative spark?
Does perfectionism take over?
Always creating for others, never for yourself?
I get you and that’s exactly why I created this women’s surf and creativity retreat in Portugal.
This retreat is for creatives, ocean lovers and 'Pinterest girls' who want to create again. A week where inspiring women from around the world come together in a space that feels safe, playful and inspiring. Where creativity finally comes first. Because your ideas are still there. They just need space to breathe.
It's time to quiet the mind and get your hands messy. You’ll leave with new friendships and an inspiring creative community, a full sketchbook and memories that will stay with you for a lifetime.
With love,

what the participants say
Don’t just take my word for it

"If you really need some space, peace and time to reset, try new things (maybe surfing or meditation), eat delicious, healthy food, and connect with incredible women. I recommend this retreat 100%. The hosts are so talented/lovely, and the location is 10/10 magical."

You probably have some questions
the faq
I feel a little nervous, is that normal?
That’s perfectly normal. It might be your first time participating in something like this. Deciding to treat yourself to a week for your pleasure is often the hardest part.
After this decision the joy begins: at the beach, in nature, with a group of women who also found it a little scary at first.
Can i come by myself?
Absolutely! Many women come alone. (And by the end of the week, you’ll have made friends for life!)
I’m not an artist or a surfer, can I still join?
Yes, you can ! None of us are pro surfers or full-time artists. The week is not about becoming a pro or being the best, but about feeling that spark again. About listening to what your heart has been telling you all along.
I am not here to teach you how to paint, I am here to hold space for YOU to create.
How many women will participate?
The retreat is intentionally kept small and intimate. Each retreat hosts 8–10 women, supported by 3 staff members: two hosts (Margot & Sanny) and our chef.
This small group size creates a safe, personal atmosphere with plenty of space for connection, creativity and individual attention.
