The Deep Reset

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

Ericeira, Portugal. | 23-26 October 2025

When life feels too much

When you're stuck on the hamster wheel. Running on empty. When fear, pressure, or uncertainty cloud your way.

This retreat is your invitation to pause. To breathe. To come home to yourself.

This isn't about fixing you. You're not broken. It is about remembering what matters.
Reclaiming the space to feel, to choose, to simply be.

Beneath the noise of daily life, your spark is still there — alive and waiting.
This retreat is where you reconnect with it.

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.

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

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


    We begin gently. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be invited to exhale, soften, and land. With tea, breath, and shared intention, we open a space of safety and connection. You’ll meet your guides, be welcomed into community, and begin the journey inward — through grounding practices, mindful movement, and a shared dinner under the Portuguese sky.

  • What happens when you slow down enough to truly listen?
    This is the day we begin to uncover the deeper patterns that shape how we move through the world — not to judge them, but to understand them with compassion. Through guided inquiry, breathwork, and movement, you’ll reconnect with your emotional truth, reclaim choice, and begin to soften what no longer serves. There’s also spacious time to rest, walk along the cliffs, or simply be.

  • Now that you’ve remembered your spark — how do you keep it alive?
    We shift from insight into action. You’ll explore the rituals, relationships, and values that anchor you in your truth. Through creative practices, somatic work, and group sessions, you’ll begin shaping a life that reflects the real you — from the inside out. You’ll leave this day with meaningful commitments and embodied clarity for the path ahead.

  • We close with reverence and realness.
    This final morning is devoted to harvesting the wisdom of your journey and anchoring it into your life. With breathwork, shared reflection, and ceremony, you’ll leave feeling clear, resourced, and deeply supported — not in doing it all perfectly, but in remembering who you truly are.

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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
