A Radiating Women’s Gathering To Explore Your Creative Power
Imagine a magical weekend where you can escape the daily grind and immerse yourself in a world of inspiration, creativity, and connection. Welcome to a unique experience that will rekindle your inner spark, nurture your soul, and empower you to embrace your creative self.
Nestled within the breathtaking Algarve region of southern Portugal, you’ll find Ana Ana, a lovingly restored boat workshop turned artistic sanctuary. This enchanting venue, rich with history and brimming with artistic flair, will serve as our sacred space for a transformative gathering of like-minded women.
Join us for a long weekend of warmth and wonder, as we delve into the depths of our creative souls through an array of carefully curated workshops, meditation sessions, breathwork, cooking class and more. With the soothing sounds of laughter and the uplifting energy of togetherness, you’ll feel supported, seen, and inspired to unleash your own creative potential.
Our diverse backgrounds and professions weave a vibrant embroidery of life stories, allowing us to grow and expand our horizons through the power of connection. This gathering is a celebration of our differences, a testament to the strength of our collective wisdom, and an opportunity to experience the transformative magic of unity.
Bask in the gentle embrace of slow living, indulge in the softness of barefoot moments, and feel the surge of empowerment and confidence coursing through your veins. This is more than an event; it’s a journey of self-discovery, an opportunity to reconnect with the creativity within you, nature, and an incredible community of women.
Ana Ana, translating to “I am” in Arabic, perfectly embodies the essence of this gathering. The boutique hotel, artist’s studio, and gallery space merge to create an atmosphere where you can boldly and unapologetically present your true self to the world.
Co-hosted by Raluca Elena Rogoz, founder of Sassy Women Society and brand & creative strategist, and Aleks Kop, yoga guide & confidence coach, this experience has been lovingly crafted to ignite your passion and elevate your spirit. Each workshop and activity are thoughtfully designed and facilitated by these two dynamic women.
To nourish your body and delight your senses, plant-based private chef and food stylist Joana Limao will be on hand, inviting you into her culinary universe. She will also host a workshop, allowing you to explore your creativity through the art of nourishing, delicious food.
Are you ready to embark on this life-changing adventure?
Secure your spot today and prepare to embrace the true essence of who you are. Let the magic unfold as you connect, create, and discover your inner radiance.
To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.
