What’s a Collision Retreat?
Tucked away in a hidden valley inside the crater of a volcano, nestled in the lush, paradisical island of São Miguel, an eclectic group of curious souls collide with one another and the land, with the intention of diving deeper into discovering, manifesting, and refining magic.
One of the defining characteristics is that the retreat has no fixed program.
Instead, we create:
An environment conducive to spontaneous flow and manifesting ideas in the moment.
A group of 7-12 competent ‘magic’ practitioners with 2 hosts.
Daily circles to check-in, and create our schedule from in-the-moment inspiration.
Yoga deck, natural cob sauna, and a fruit-tree-filled fairy forest right on the land
Natural thermal springs, rivers, waterfalls, and forests within a few minutes walk & drive
A series of wonderfully majestic spots around the island that includes caves, hidden beaches, cliffs, hikes, abandoned villages and more
Activities based on the expertise of the retreat hosts.
Step into a space where your magic is seen, received and amplified; your gifts are mirrored and celebrated, and the unexpected becomes unforgettable.
