SHIFT POWER YOGA & STIFT LABS PRESENT
Salt & Stillness
Renew. Recharge. Come back to your own vitality.
A week on the Portuguese coast. June 8–14, 2027. Six nights, a small group, and time for movement, breath, good food and real connection.
You've done the inner work.
You've asked the hard questions, and you know yourself better than you did five years ago. Now what?
This is the week for what comes next: stepping out of the analysis and into your own aliveness.
On the Atlantic coast, minutes from the surf town of Ericeira and under an hour from Lisbon, we spend six nights doing what restores you and what lights you up. You'll leave feeling aligned and restored, with your energy back and a clear sense of what you want to carry into the next chapter.
THE RHYTHM
A day at Salt & Stillness
Morning
Meditation, breathwork and movement with the ocean in the window. No experience needed, and every practice can be adapted to you. We close with a question to carry through the day.
Midday
A nourishing lunch on most days, then time that's yours to shape: a cliff-top coastal walk with the group, a free afternoon in Ericeira, or quiet time on your own.
Late afternoon
As the light softens, a practice that lets everything settle: a sound bath, yoga nidra or a slow yin class.
Evening
Dinner together at the long table. Three courses of vegetarian and vegan food with Portuguese roots, and plenty of laughter, with no one rushing anywhere.
Come if you're…
Ready to recharge, whether or not you're depleted.
Curious about breath, movement and nervous-system practices, with or without a yoga background.
Looking for real connection with people who are also growing.
A little hungry for adventure alongside the rest.
Your week includes
Six nights at Ondina Guesthouse in São Lourenço, on the Ericeira coast.
Daily meditation, breathwork, movement and guided inquiry, plus a sound bath, yoga nidra or yin practice each late afternoon, led by Pam.

Holding your spot and cancellations
A $500 deposit holds your room. The rest of your balance, with GST, is split into three equal payments that charge automatically in January, March and June 2027.
Each of the three payments: $1,058.33 for a private room with private bath, $953.33 for an apartment bedroom, $883.33 per person in a double, $813.33 in a twin, and $743.33 in a triple.
The $500 deposit is non-refundable, unless we cancel the retreat, in which case every payment is refunded in full.
Cancel on or before March 10, 2027 and we refund everything you've paid beyond the deposit. After March 10, payments are not refunded and the remaining payments stay due, unless your spot is resold. If it is, we refund what you've paid, less the $500 deposit. You can also transfer your spot to a named person at any time.
We strongly recommend travel insurance with trip cancellation cover. Some policies must be bought within days of your first payment, so buy yours when you pay your deposit.
