A Retreat to Recharge and Indulge in Local Experiences
April 3 - 6, 2025 at OUTPOST
Step away from the daily rush and immerse yourself in a retreat where mindfulness, luxury, and true relaxation come together. Hosted at OUTPOST - Casa das Arribas, perched on the cliffs just outside Azenhas do Mar, this 4-day experience invites you to slow down and embrace the tranquil off-season rhythm of the stunning Sintra coast. Designed to nurture both body and soul, the retreat program blends mindful practices like restorative yoga and breathwork with local experiences such as foraging tours, coastal hikes, and wine tastings.
Expect a thoughtfully curated 3-night / 4-day retreat combining yoga, mindfulness, guided activities, leisure moments, and immersion in local culture.
Your Host & Yoga Teacher
Xamira is a passionate and multifaceted teacher who weaves her love for connection and freedom into everything she does. With a background in philosophy, she brings a thoughtful approach, encouraging self-exploration through different perspectives. Yoga has been her companion for over a decade, providing a structure to align body and mind. In addition to yoga, Xamira’s work with herbalism and horses allows her to create nurturing spaces where people can find the tools they need to support themselves. During the retreat, she will help you build confidence and commitment, guiding you in integrating these practices into your daily life.
Local Experiences
In addition to the daily yoga and meditation sessions led by Xamira, the following local experiences are included in the Retreat Program:
Foraging & Coastal Walk - Quinta Kismet

Breathwork & Ice Bath - Wim Hof Method
A transformative 3-4 hour workshop led by Yves Bernaerts, a neuroscientist at Champalimaud. Experience guided breathing exercises and an invigorating ice bath, all backed by scientific theory.
