Healing and Mingling for Divorcées – Azores Retreat
📒 October 9–13, 2025
📍São Miguel Island, Azores
Join us for a soulful escape in the heart of the Azores, where healing meets adventure and connection. This four-day retreat is designed for divorcées ready to reclaim joy, rediscover themselves, and build meaningful new bonds.
Surrounded by volcanic landscapes, hot springs, and ocean views, you’ll enjoy a rejuvenating mix of wellness experiences—from guided meditation and gentle movement to mindset workshops and heart-centered group conversations. You’ll also have time to explore the island’s natural beauty, savor fresh local cuisine, and share laughs (and maybe a few tears) with others who just get it.
Whether you’re freshly single or years post-divorce, this is a supportive space to rest, release, and reconnect—with yourself and others.
