If you’re a woman who is ready to move beyond simply managing life and start experiencing it more fully, this thoughtfully curated retreat was designed for YOU, blending breathtaking adventures, meaningful connection, rest, and self-discovery to awaken your sense of joy, freedom and possibility.

September 15th – 19th, 2026

Azores, Portugal

Picture This:

Imagine waking up on a lush island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, where the morning air feels fresh, the mountains stretch into the clouds, and the day ahead is filled with possibility.

Picture yourself wandering through breathtaking landscapes, soaking in warm volcanic waters, discovering hidden waterfalls, and standing in awe of views that photographs could never fully capture. You are laughing over shared delicious meals, and excited about trying something new. There is nowhere else you need to be or no one you need to become.

Then you notice that you are not thinking about everything you need to do or everyone who needs something from you. You’re present, curious, relaxed, and enjoying the experience of being YOU.

You take in a deep breath as you are exploring freely, listening inward and remembering how beautiful life can be when you allow yourself to experience it.

Welcome To Rise & Remember, an intimate women’s retreat in the breathtaking Azores Islands of Portugal.

Your invitation to embrace the unexpected, reconnect with your true nature, and rise into a fuller experience of life.

My Friend… You are in the beauty of The Azores, Portugal!

Portugal Is Exactly Where You Want To Be!

You’ve spent enough time making life happen. It’s time to experience it.

You’ve built a life filled with responsibilities, accomplishments, relationships, and commitments. You’ve learned how to show up, make things happen, and keep moving forward, even when life doesn’t go according to plan.

And while there may be so much to appreciate about the life you’ve created, perhaps you’ve also noticed how easy it is to become so occupied with managing everything that you forget to enjoy what’s right in front of you.

Is it possible that you have been postponing experiences until the timing is better, questioning desires that don’t seem practical, or waiting until you feel completely ready to do something you’ve always wanted to do?

You don’t have to wait anymore!

What if you could appreciate the life you’ve created while making room for more joy, freedom, adventure, wonder, and possibility?

You don’t need to become another woman to experience more of life. You can begin with the woman you already are.

What Awaits You

By the end of the 5 days, you’ll have the space to go within to remember your truth and get to know yourself on a whole new level. You’ll rediscover what brings you joy, gain a fresh perspective on life, reconnect with your desires you’ve placed on hold, or simply remember how good it feels to be fully present.

Through guided mindfulness, restorative practices, and unhurried moments, you’ll have space to reconnect with your body, your needs, and your natural rhythm.

Through thoughtfully curated experiences woven into the breathtaking natural beauty of Sao Miguel, you’ll have opportunities to explore, embrace the unexpected, and discover new possibilities within yourself and your life.

In her signature style, Natolie will guide you through meaningful reflections, transformative breathwork, and experiences designed to deepen your self-awareness, strengthen your self-trust, and help you recognize where you may be holding yourself back from living fully. You’ll be invited to reconnect with your wisdom courage, and aliveness that have been within you all along.

How amazing is that?

This is your opportunity to step away from the familiar, venture off the beaten path, discover hidden gems, and enjoy the beautiful balance of rest, adventure, meaningful connection, personal discovery, and pure enjoyment.

Come ready to explore, experience, and celebrate life on the beautiful island of Sao Miguel.

Natolie, should I join you? That’s an undeniable YES if…

You have created a meaningful life but want to experience more joy, freedom, adventure, and presence within it.
You have spent years being responsible for others and you are ready to make room for yourself.
You are navigating a new season and want to reconnect with what matters most.
You have been waiting for the right time to travel, explore, or pursue experiences you’ve been dreaming about.
You want to trust yourself more and loosen your attachment to have everything figured out.
You love personal growth but are ready to spend less time analyzing life and more time living it.
You desire meaningful connection with other women while having space for personal reflection.
You feel drawn to nature, new experiences, and opportunities to rediscover your sense of wonder.

If you at least three of these or more resonate with you, then this retreat was made especially with YOU in mind … that’s exactly why you’re going to LOVE Rise & Remember in Portugal.

“The retreat exceeded my expectations emotionally and spiritually. Relationally, I gained a sisterhood of shared experience. Mentally, it taught me to reach for the honest truth within me.”

Why Azores?

In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean lies an extraordinary collection of islands where volcanic mountains rise above the sea, crater lakes reflect the sky, waterfalls flow through lush landscapes, and the weather can change before your eyes.

Welcome to the Azores.

You’ll experience first-hand how nature can be our teacher and our guide. The perfect place where nature invites you to slow down, savor life and simply be. Here, nature doesn’t follow our schedules or expectations. The mist rolls in. The sun breaks through. The landscape shifts. Life continues to unfold.

And somehow, there is beauty in all of it.

What if we approaches our own lives with that same openness? What if a change of plans didn’t have to steal our joy? What if we could trust ourselves even when the path ahead wasn’t completely clear?

Throughout our time together, nature will be more than a beautiful backdrop. It will be an invitation to reflect, reconnect, and experience life differently.

The mist reminds us to trust. The ocean reminds us to surrender. The lush greenery reminds us that growth has its own rhythm. And the wild beauty of the island reminds us that we, too, are allowed to live in our fulness.

Why Sao Miguel?

Sao Miguel is the largest island of The Azores. It is known as the “Green Island” and it is packed with dramatic volcanic scenery, rich culture, and outdoor adventures. From the lush volcanic landscapes and natural wonders to moments of laughter, stillness, and unexpected delight, every experience is an invitation to embrace life as it unfolds.

While the retreat plans are being finalized, here are some potential Excursions & Activities

A guided whale and dolphin watching excursion
Visit to the Lakes of Sete Cidades
Lunch in Ponta Delgada
A visit to Furnas Thermal Experience

What You Will Carry Home

You will return home with more than beautiful photographs and wonderful memories.

You’ll have practiced listening to yourself, embracing the unexpected, following your curiosity, allowing yourself to rest, and choosing experiences that make you feel alive.

You’ll return home more willing to say yes to what you want. You’ll feel less attached to having every detail figured out.

You’ll begin creating more room for joy, rest, adventure, and connection in your everyday life. You’ll recognize that the woman you’ve been waiting to become has been with you all along.

Plus… you’ll have new lifelong friends who understand the beauty and complexity of the lives we lead.

Yes! Rise & Remember goes beyond the retreat experience.

Happy Retreat Attendee 2025

Your Guide

Natolie Warren

I’m thrilled that you made it here. I’ve created this space with you in mind.

For nearly two decades, I’ve had the privilege of supporting women as they navigate life’s transitions, reconnect with themselves, and create lives that feel more aligned with who they are.

Through my work as a psychotherapist, coach, breathwork facilitator, retreat leader, I’ve witnessed something again and again: many women spend so much of their lives taking care of responsibilities, meeting expectations, and striving toward the next milestone that they forget to make room for themselves.

Over the years, I’ve led more than 18 retreats creating meaningful experiences that combines personal reflection, connection, rest, exploration, and adventure. I believe that travel has a unique way of helping us see ourselves and our lives differently.

Rise & Remember is especially meaningful to me because I believe we don’t have to spend our lives waiting to become someone else before we give ourselves permission to live fully. My hope is that you’ll leave the Azores remembering what you already carry within you and feeling inspired to experience more of your life.

I would be honored to share this journey with you.

You Have Questions? We Have Answers!

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I can’t afford a trip to Portugal?

I certainly understand your concern. This is not a typical trip or vacation! This is an investment in yourself that supports you have the life you desire. The strategies, tools and resources alone are worth the cost of the retreat and will be instrumental when you return home. Then there is the experience of being in Portugal which only makes it better. So no need to worry! We have created payment options to make this a non-issue for you. Go ahead and start packing your bags now.

I am not sure I can fly this far. What should I do?

This is definitely a thought that I had too. It is a long flight and it is an opportunity of a lifetime. Think about how many people want to do something in life but they let something get in the way. This could actually be an opportunity to go beyond your comfort zone and explore the endless possiblities for your life.

Do I have to share a room with a stranger?

Not necessary! You totally have options. You can bring a family member or friend along with you. This has been the #1 thing women share with me after the retreat, “I wish I would have brought my friend.” No regrets for you as you can share this opportunity with her now. You can also invest an additional amount to upgrade to a private room. But if you are coming solo, there will be opportunities to meet the group before we leave to connect with someone else to choose a roommate.

How in the world can I leave my job and family for this long?

This reason alone can be the reason why you should come on the retreat! You have to create the time and space for yourself so you can show up fully in life for YOU and others. You will come home better than you left and ready to take on the responsiblities of life.

Do I need a passport and visa?

Yes, you will need a passport to enter Portugal. Your passport cannot expire within 6 months of traveling. If you don’t have a passport, it is fairly easy to apply for one. Don’t wait until the last minute though because this could result in unwanted stress and overwhelm. Regarding the visa, US citizens are not required to have a visa.

What is the cancellation policy?

A deposit is required at the time of registration. Deposits are non-refundable. Any cancellation made after 48 hours of registering through 06/14/27 will result in a loss of 50% of the trip price. Any cancellation made after: 06/15/27 and the trip departure will result in a total loss of funds. We reserve the right to cancel the trip if it is not meeting the trip minimum (if we do, your deposit is refunded in full). TRIP CANCELLATION INSURANCE is always recommended whenever making travel plans. You can use our suggested Travel Guard insurance online and choose from several policy options.
