Sol Mates
YOGA GATHERINGs
Sol MATES YOGA.
-
AN IMMERSION.
A week of slowing down and softening in rhythm with the land — where yoga, movement and daily rituals draw you back into your elemental nature.
-
A GATHERING.
A space to come together with kindred souls, where presence, curiosity, and shared intention foster authentic connection. We gather around the fire, in the shala and with our hearts open.
-
A HOMECOMING.
A return to yourself, where you can rest, soften, and reconnect with your inner rhythm. A sanctuary to arrive at, as you are, to ground deeply, and find alignment with your truest self.
WILD HEARTS GATHERING.
Slowing down and softening in rhythm with the land and ocean, sky and air; Sol Mates Gatherings are an invitation for you to explore yoga, movement and daily rituals that draw you back into your elemental nature whilst building a community of like minded souls.
Each day unfolds gently, guided by the wisdom of the five elements and the pulse of the body and the nervous system. We will explore yin yoga, breath (pranayama), acupressure points, gentle Inner Enquiry and embodied awareness. Creating space for deep rest and subtle transformation.
This is an invitation for wild souls coming together in kinship and curiosity, sharing meals, stories and stillness beneath the Portuguese sun. It’s an invitation to move, cook, and breathe together. To laugh, to listen, and to rediscover the joy of simple connection. Around the table, in the water, and on the mat, community becomes a living practice; one that nourishes the nervous system and reawakens trust in belonging.
A return to the body, to belonging, to the quiet pulse of what’s real. Remembering yourself as part of the whole. Through slow living, elemental rhythm and nervous system attunement, we find our way back to balance. This is the art of coming home: to your breath, your intuition, and the living landscape that mirrors your inner world.
6 DAYs INNER ALCHEMY GATHERING
Over six slow and soulful days, this Yin Yoga and Holistic Inner Enquiry immersion weaves together retreat, community and gentle inner excavation in equal measures. Blending Holistic Therapy with Yin Yoga rooted in the Chinese five elements; we’ll explore the meeting point of stillness and science with somatic practices, breath, and acupressure that supports nervous system regulation and emotional resilience. On arrival you will have a 1:1 Holistic Therapy session with Tori to gently explore a certain area of your life you are looking to alchemise. Each day in circle we’ll balance theory with embodied experience, weaving gentle curiosity, guided practice and reflective integration. Our whole ethos is to gather in community; because it really does take a village. Arriving, perhaps as strangers that will become your Gathering family and you’ll leave with practical tools to bring nervous system awareness. We will also have monthly circle meetings online to stay connected from our worlds, until the next Gathering in person to come together once again.
At this Gathering in Southern Portugal, among many other offerings and moments of connection and joy there will be the opportunity to:
~ Community cooking, together in the open kitchen from organic ingredients collected locally
~ Evening Kirtan (singing circle)
~ Pottery with an amazing local artist
~ Surfing on the beach steps from our gathering space
This is a retreat for those who want to deepen their practice, expand their understanding, and return home both grounded and inspired with a ‘family’ of likeminded souls and feeling completely nourished in mind, body & sol.
