WILD IS SHE
28 June-2 July | 12-16Â September 2027
Ericeira, Portugal
A 5-day retreat for women who are tired of overthinking and feeling disconnected — and are ready to live with more presence, freedom, and trust in themselves.Â
A space to slow down, move, create, explore and rediscover the woman who feels free, playful and excited about life. Because honestly, when did being a responsible adult start to mean thinking about everything, preparing for every possibility, and talking yourself out of the things you really want?
Maybe you used to be the woman who would say yes to an adventure. Who danced when her favourite song came on, spoke her mind, and wasn't afraid to dream a little bigger than seemed reasonable. But somewhere along the way, you learned to be more sensible.
To think things through. To consider what everyone else might think. To choose the safe option, keep your emotions in check, and make sure you have a plan before you take a step.
Perhaps you've also become the woman who struggles to switch off, second-guesses her own decisions, and rarely lets herself do something simply because it feels good.
And if you're honest, you miss yourself.
Not the version of you who had fewer responsibilities or a different life. But the part of you that still exists underneath all the thinking, managing, pleasing, and trying to get everything right.
The woman who feels life instead of constantly trying to think through everything.
Wild Is She is an invitation to meet her again. Through movement, nature, creativity, and the freedom of being surrounded by women who are exploring the same things, you'll have space to loosen your grip. To listen to what you feel instead of immediately questioning it. To express yourself without worrying about getting it right. To follow your curiosity, make room for the unexpected, and remember what it's like to feel completely absorbed in being alive.
Because being wild doesn't mean being reckless, abandoning your responsibilities, or throwing your carefully built life away.
It means no longer abandoning yourself in the name of being sensible.
You don't have to become a different woman. You get to stop holding so much of yourself back.
When your mind never switches off..Â
You wake up thinking about everything you need to get done. You're already planning your day before your feet touch the floor, mentally running through your to-do list while making breakfast, answering messages, or rushing out the door.
Between work, family, relationships, and everything else life asks of you, there's always something that needs your attention. Someone who needs you. Something you haven't finished. Something else to think about.
And when it comes to your own needs? They often come last. You tell yourself you'll rest when things calm down, take time for yourself when work gets less demanding, or when the to do list has been ticked off.
 You have an idea, a dream, or a feeling that there's something you'd love to experience. But before you even give it a chance, your mind gets to work. Is it the right time? What if it doesn't work out?Â
Even the smallest decisions become exhausting. You weigh up every possible outcome, going round in circles, hoping that if you think about it long enough, you'll finally feel certain.
But the more you try to figure everything out in your head, the harder it can become to hear yourself.
Somewhere between keeping up with life and trying to make all the right decisions, you've left little room to listen to your body, trust your gut, or follow what excites you without immediately questioning whether it makes sense.
And perhaps that's part of why you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected from yourself. Even when you stop, your mind keeps working to keep everything under control.
Wild Is She is an invitation to step away from the noise and overthinking, reconnect with yourself, and rediscover the woman who's ready to live with more freedom, trust, and aliveness.
Find your WILD again.
Imagine moving through life with a little less need to have everything figured out.
Making a decision because it feels right for you, without spending days weighing up every possible outcome. Saying yes to something that excites you, even if you don't know exactly how it will unfold. Giving yourself permission to want more, change your mind, speak honestly, and take up space without worrying so much about what everyone else thinks.
Imagine feeling present enough to enjoy where you are, rather than always thinking about what comes next. Having the energy to be spontaneous, follow a curiosity, try something new, or simply do something because it brings you joy.
This is the woman we call wild.
Not someone who has everything figured out, but someone who trusts herself enough to live without needing to.
Wild Is She is your invitation to reconnect with that part of yourself. The woman beneath the expectations, the endless to-do lists, and the pressure to always make the right choice.
Through movement, creative exploration, time in nature, and the company of other women, you'll have space to slow down, listen inward, and remember what it feels like to be guided by something other than your thoughts.
Not to become someone new, but to make room for more of who you already are: more freedom, more aliveness, more trust, and more room for life to surprise you.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF...
Wild Is She might be calling you if…
✨ You're tired of living in your head and want to feel more connected to what your body, heart, and gut are telling you.
✨ You can spend hours weighing up a decision, but still struggle to trust yourself once you've made it.
✨ You have a big dream, a desire, or a part of yourself you've been putting off because it doesn't seem sensible, practical, or possible just yet.
✨ You're often the responsible one, the reliable one, the one who holds everything together — and you're ready to put down some of that weight.
✨ You catch yourself holding back your opinions, your excitement, your needs, or your personality to avoid being judged or misunderstood.
✨ You crave more spontaneity, play, adventure, and those moments when you feel so alive that you forget to think about how you look or what anyone else might think.
✨ You want to feel comfortable with not knowing exactly what's next, without needing to plan for every possible outcome.
✨ You're ready to stop treating yourself like a project to optimise and start experiencing yourself as a woman to know, trust, and enjoy.
You don't need to be fearless. You don't need to have everything figured out. And you certainly don't need to arrive feeling wild.
You just need to feel that there's more of you waiting to be lived.
And you're ready to make space for her.
A chance to experience life differently.
You don't have to think your way through everything. Sometimes, you need to step out of your head and experience what happens when you let go of how things should be.
Every practice at Wild Is She is an invitation to do just that.
Yoga — Come back to your body.
Slow down enough to notice what you're feeling, what you need, and what your body has been trying to tell you beneath the noise of everyday life. Learn to listen rather than push, and reconnect with yourself one breath and movement at a time.
Breathwork — Practise letting go.
You can't control every breath, and you don't need to know exactly where the experience will take you. Breathwork invites you to soften your grip, surrender to the moment, and explore what happens when you allow yourself to experience the unknown rather than trying to manage it.
Painting & ceramics — Create without getting it right.
Forget about making something beautiful, following the rules, or worrying about the final result. Get your hands messy, experiment, play, and let yourself be a beginner. There's freedom in creating simply for the joy of it, without needing to prove anything or turn it into something useful.
Dance — Let yourself take up space.
Move without choreographing every step or wondering how you look. Follow the music, be a little silly, feel your energy rise, and let yourself be seen. No performance, no perfect moves — just the freedom to express yourself without holding back.
Because becoming wild again isn't about learning to do more. It's about making room for the parts of you that get lost when everything has to be planned, productive, or perfect.
It's about remembering that you can trust yourself, try something new, and enjoy the experience without needing to control the outcome.

A little hideaway above the Atlantic
Tucked away in the outskirts of the fisherman whitewashed village of Ericeira, Casa Paço d’Ilhas is a place where the ocean breeze meets the Portuguese countryside. With its rustic charm, beautiful gardens, heritage architecture, and views towards the sea, it offers a slower pace of life, away from the noise of everyday routines.
Here, mornings begin with fresh ocean air, days unfold between movement, creativity, and moments of rest, and there's space to simply be. It's an intimate, character-filled setting that invites you to let go of the usual expectations and settle into the experience.
And for our final evening, we will gather in the 14th century historic ruins for a special night of dancing, good food, and celebration — a chance to let loose and finish our time together feeling a little more free.

About your host...
Hi, I'm Karol.
I've been practising yoga since I was 16, but my curiosity about the mind, emotions, and what it means to feel good in yourself started long before that. My dad introduced me to breathing techniques, meditation, and emotional awareness when I was a child, planting seeds that would shape much of my life.
After completing my Bachelor of Business at Griffith University in Australia, I eventually found my way back to these practices in a much deeper way. In my late twenties, struggling with anxiety, I began exploring yoga, breathwork, and personal development not just as things to teach, but as tools to understand myself.
I completed my 200-hour yoga teacher training in India in 2017 and went on to explore different approaches to movement, mindfulness, and emotional wellbeing. Since 2020, I've been leading retreats around the world, creating spaces where women can step away from everyday life and reconnect with themselves.
But the more I've lived, the more I've realised that feeling good isn't about constantly working on yourself or finding another thing to fix.
It's about learning to trust yourself. To listen to what you need instead of always pushing through. To make space for what excites you, even when you can't predict where it will lead. And to remember that life isn't something you need to have perfectly figured out before you can enjoy it.
Motherhood has brought its own lessons in letting go of control, making room for uncertainty, and learning to meet myself where I am rather than where I think I should be.
Wild Is She grew from this understanding. It's a retreat shaped by my love of movement, creativity, and bringing women together — but also by my belief that we don't need to become someone else to feel more alive.
Sometimes, we simply need the space to hear ourselves again, loosen our grip on how things should be, and remember what it feels like to trust the woman we already are.
I can't wait to share that space with you.
