The Deep Reset

A Somatic Journey Back To What Matters

A Four-Day Retreat for Soulful Transformation.

Step off the wheel. Come home to yourself. Cultivate clarity, choice, and aliveness

Ericeira, Portugal. | 23-26 October 2025

There’s a quiet sense that something deeper is calling within...

…and you're finally ready to listen.

Not because you’re broken because something in you knows there is more. This retreat is your invitation to pause. To reconnect with what truly matters. To remember your spark, even if hidden under the weight of doing, leading, and holding it all together.

Meet the Facilitators


  • Sandeep is a Therapeutic Coach with a background as a Director at Deloitte and over 15 years of experience in leadership, consulting, and change. Her work weaves together executive coaching, Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic practices, and enduring eastern wisdom to support deep, grounded transformation. She’s trained in systems thinking, trauma-informed approaches, and embodied leadership, bringing both structure and spaciousness to her facilitation.

    In a retreat setting, this means you can expect a space that is steady, well-held, and thoughtfully designed. Sandeep meets each participant with respect and curiosity, inviting real conversation, embodied awareness, and quiet insight. Her role isn’t to direct or advise, but to guide a process where you can listen more closely to yourself, connect with others authentically, and move toward what matters with greater clarity.

  • Curious by nature and deeply grounded in over two decades of experience, Luciano brings acalm, steady presence to those he works with. As a master coach, supervisor, and somatic practitioner, he creates warm, spacious environments where honest reflection and gentle transformation can unfold. Drawing on systemic coaching, body-based practices, and a rich professional journey, Luciano meets each person with quiet respect and deep curiosity.

    In a retreat setting, he offers a careful balance of structure and openness, inviting you to slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with what truly matters. With a belief in your innate wisdom and capacity to grow, he walks beside you—not to give answers, but to hold space for your own unfolding, with care, clarity, and quiet encouragement.

The Venue

Nestled next to the ocean, our retreat is designed for individuals who are ready to embark on a transformative journey but seek the right guidance to do so. Here, you will experience a harmonious blend of connection, reflection, and mindful relaxation, all while being surrounded by the soothing sounds of the sea. The rooms you will rest in combine natural elements with modernist architecture, creating an ambiance that is both comfortable and inspiring. You will be nourished with meals made from local ingredients shared with those on the retreat, for conversation and community connection.

Our retreat space is a 45 minute journey from Lisbon airport, you will find yourself in a space surrounded by nature, gazes over the Atlantic from a cliff. You can wake up to a salt breeze on the balcony or count waves as you fall asleep — it is easy to find ritual with the sea at our retreat space.

THE RETREAT

  • Before you arrive, you ll be invited to a personal coaching session to explore your intentions and prepare for the retreat. This is a space to gently tune in to what s calling for your attention, and set the tone for your experience.

  • Start time: 1:30 PM | Welcome Dinner: 7:30 PM


    We begin by arriving — into the space, into your body, and into a circle of fellow retreat members. You’ll be guided through a grounding practice and a visualisation to help you reconnect with your deeper vision and hopes for the retreat. Together, we’ll co-create a safe, honest, and supportive space for the days to come.

    Evening: We gather for a shared dinner under the Portuguese sky to meet, settle, and enjoy nourishing food and conversation.

  • What happens when you slow down enough to truly listen?
    This is the day we begin to notice — with honesty and compassion — the deeper patterns that shape how we move through the world. Through guided breath-work, somatic practices, and group exploration, we’ll meet the beliefs, behaviours, and protective parts that may have been driving us on autopilot.

    With care, we’ll begin softening what no longer serves and start discerning what does — creating space for more truthful choices to emerge.

  • From insight to action. From reflection to felt change.

    Today is about embodiment grounding what matters into the body, into your choices, and into how you want to live. Through creative practices, somatic work, and collective dialogue, you ll shape meaningful commitments and anchor supportive rituals that feel real and doable. You ll close the day with a deeper sense of clarity, courage, and connection to the life you re choosing from within.

  • End time: 12:30 PM

    Our final morning is a threshold a space to honour what s been felt, seen, and reclaimed. We ll gather for reflection, group practices and a closing ceremony to harvest your insights and mark the shift. You ll be invited to release outdated narratives and call in the qualities and commitments that will guide you forward. You leave not with all the answers, but with clarity, spaciousness, and renewed connection to what s true for you.

Testimonials

  • Tia Einarsen

    - Attending the Personal Transformation Retreat was a deeply rewarding experience. As someone who loves retreats and is trying to incorporate them more intentionally into my life, I wasn’t sure what to expect. This was my first retreat not centred around meditation, yoga, or surfing, and it turned out to be exactly what I needed.

    The workshops with Sandeep helped me reconnect with myself in ways I hadn’t been able to for years. The visualization sessions were especially impactful—beautiful moments of breakthrough for everyone, perfectly timed within the retreat.

    The serene setting, nourishing meals at Aethos, and thoughtfully designed sessions created an atmosphere of growth and connection. I left feeling lighter, more focused, and grateful for the tools and insights I gained. I’m already looking forward to the next retreat.

  • Lio Van der Straten

    -              The Personal Transformation Retreat was a fantastic experience. I joined with the intention of finding clarity and unblocking something within myself, and I walked away with exactly that. The grounding exercises and breathwork sessions with Fabio, combined with the insightful workshops led by Sandeep, helped me explore different aspects of myself that I had previously overlooked. The group discussions were meaningful, the setting in Ericeira was stunning, and the overall atmosphere was one of genuine connection and growth. I appreciated the opportunity to step out of my comfort zone while feeling supported by the group. If you feel stuck or disconnected, I highly recommend this retreat—it really helped me realign with myself.

  • C.M

    Sandeep led an incredibly transformative retreat. Bringing strangers into a space that felt so safe and welcoming with nuggets of wisdom that stay with you. The workshops were challenging and confronting at times but in a way that propels critical thought and compassionate self-talk whilst navigating sharing space, thoughts and ideas with others in the group. I had a truly humbling and special experience here, jumping into meditations that I had never reached half as far as I managed to with Sandeep. Thank you.

  • M.R

    My 4 days on the retreat were very special, a wonderful experience from start to finish. The sessions that Sandeep provided were engaging, thought provoking & extremely helpful, particularly if you are on a journey of self-development & personal growth. They helped me to understand more about myself, reconnect with what’s most important to me & focus on future goals through visualisation, journalling & group chats. It always felt like a very safe space where all were free to share whatever they felt comfortable with. I met a lovely group of people through this retreat, all from different walks of life & it made for a unique & special experience. Outside of the sessions, our time spent outside by the sea, exploring the local town, wine tasting & seeing live music were perfect accompaniments to the work we were doing throughout the day.
