Women’s leadership is inclusive, fostering participation and sharing power and information with those they lead. It tends to create and strengthen group identities. Emotional predominance: In general, women are capable of considering the "human" side of people and generating high levels of empathy.
However, the heavy biopsychosocial burden of the executive woman exposes her to serious risks to her overall health.
"Integral health is the main condition for human development; it is the state of ideal well-being and is only achieved when there is a balance between physical, biological, emotional, mental, spiritual, and social factors, allowing for appropriate growth and development in all areas of life. It is not merely the absence of alterations and diseases, but a positive concept that implies different degrees of vitality and adaptive functioning." (Barboza, 2010)
This retreat will provide a moment for self-reflection in the tranquillity of a stay away from the day-to-day, completely disconnecting from mobile communications (except for emergency calls), so you can forget about everything else and focus on the here and now.
Through intimate contact with nature, various possibilities will be offered to explore mindfulness through the development of creativity, active listening (deep listening), breathwork, and other activities.
Finally, based on an initial preliminary assessment, the skills that characterize female leadership will be reinforced: People orientation, tendency to cooperate, ability to act in multiple directions, inclusive leadership, emotional predominance and control, and improving predisposition to change.
"You are what your deep, driving desire is. As your desire is, so is your will. As your will is, so is your action. As your action is, so is your destiny." Brihadaranyaka Upanishad
Your retreat, your way
This initial consultation, lasting 60 to 90 minutes, can also be contracted separately if you are unsure if this is the right program for you (see below in Prices).
Once the order is placed, an initial consultation will be conducted to better tailor this program to the participants' needs. In addition to the proposed skills and activities, other skills can be addressed and therapeutic interventions and treatments in the SPA can be offered as established in the initial assessment and the goals to be achieved.
The strategic retreat can be offered in different accommodation options and dates are arranged based on availability with a minimum of 4 weeks' notice. In addition to options in Portugal, options in Galicia, Spain, can also be offered.
Furthermore, various accommodation options and all logistical matters associated with the retreat will be configured to ensure a seamless 'arrive and enjoy' experience without further complications.
You can come alone, with your partner, or with those closest to you with whom you make decisions. In that case, the price per person is reduced by 25%.
Using a structured SSM approach, we’ll evaluate your current practices and uncover opportunities to improve collaboration, relationships, and team dynamics.
Clarity on Goals and Vision

Exploring Your Unique System
Through the creation of a rich picture of your environment, we’ll collaboratively map out key dynamics, relationships, and challenges.

This reflective journey fosters self-discovery and deeper insights into how to navigate complexity and achieve meaningful outcomes.
