The Empowered Women Retreat
A one week journey by the ocean, to reconnect with your essence and purpose, awaken your creative energy, and step into your power. Through daily workshops of movement, coaching, and vision work, you’ll explore what truly lights you up and learn to express it fully and unapologetically. This retreat is an invitation to align with your inner truth, create from the heart, and embody the empowered woman you are meant to be.
01.– 07.11.2026 • Algarve, Portugal
This retreat is for women who are ready to step into their fullest potential.
For women who feel the call to slow down, reconnect with their bodies, and create space for clarity,
embodiment, and expansion.
Surrounded by nature, far away from the noise and demands of everyday life, you are invited to arrive fully —
in your body, in the present moment, and in your truth.
Through movement, conscious practices, coaching & vision work, we create a space to feel, express,
grow and empower each other.
You’ll leave with renewed clarity on your vision, deeply nourished by nature, and held by the power of sisterhood.
The Place
Perched high in a peaceful valley overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, our dreamy retreat sanctuary offers a deep sense of space, privacy, and tranquility. Surrounded by rolling hills and open skies, this place invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with nature — and yourself.
The name Altanure is inspired by the French word Athanor, the alchemist’s oven that transmutes lead into gold, a concept that invokes consciousness as the capacity for transformation.
The house is light-filled and spacious, with beautifully designed rooms that invite rest, comfort, and ease. A large terrace is perfect for outdoor meals and conversations, while the cozy indoor fireplace and yoga shala create perfect spaces for circles, practices, and quiet reflection.
The property features a large permaculture garden, where fruits and vegetables are grown on-site, adding freshness, vitality, and a true connection to the earth to every meal we share.
We’ll have the entire grounds to ourselves, including a pool and a natural pond for swimming and relaxing, where we can sunbathe & enjoy the freedom of being topless or even naked.
The Vision
A full week by the ocean, designed to empower each woman to step fully into the life and version of herself she aspires to be. This retreat is a space where you can simply be yourself, be seen, and be inspired by the other women around you.
Through movement, ecstatic dance, sound, creative workshops, and guided visualization exercises, we’ll explore what lights you up, what you desire, and how you can embody it fully and unapologetically. You’ll have the opportunity to connect with your inner power, express yourself freely, and witness the strength and brilliance of the women around you.
This is a journey of inspiration, connection, and self-realization.

Your Facilitator Louisa
Women's Empowerment Coach
Hi, I’m Louisa—a passionate yoga teacher and psychologist with a deep love for creating spaces that foster connection, healing, and transformation. Over the years, I’ve attended countless retreats, workshops, and women’s circles, each leaving an imprint on my heart and shaping my path.
It was during my very first retreat—an experience so profound and transformative—that I realized this is what I’m meant to do. I am deeply passionate about guiding women in spaces where true transformation can take place, where they can reconnect with themselves, step into their power, and feel the strength of sisterhood.
