A transformational retreat for high-achieving women ready to stop measuring their worth by what they accomplish, and reconnect with the feeling that they are enough, exactly as they are.
Has built a life that looks successful from the outside - a career, business, relationship, financial stability, health, or freedom - but still feels like something is missing
Is used to being the capable one, the one who figures things out, sets goals and makes things happen
Has learned to measure her worth through what she accomplishes, how productive she is, or how much she can handle
Can struggle to slow down because rest can feel unproductive, uncomfortable, or even undeserved
Is tired of the constant feeling that she should be doing more, achieving more, fixing more, like what she has or who she is, is never good enough
and that's okay, here's who it isn't for:
× Women who are looking for a space to advance their physical yoga technique. This is an inward journey, not a space where we will be perfecting our handstand
× Women who are not ready to slow down, even for five days
× Women who are not interested in personal growth or development
× Women who want to be entertained rather than transformed
× Women who feel completely at peace with where they are and want for nothing more
A morning in June. The mountains of Monchique are quiet. You wake slowly, naturally, the way you forgot you used to. Birdsong. Clean air. Sunlight finding its way through the trees.
You move in a way that feels good for your body. Morning yoga, meditation, and the kind of stillness that comes without force and that you've been craving because you're surrounded by nature. You drink, bathe, and wash in water that flows directly from the mountain source, the same healing water people travel from all over the world to find.
You eat fresh, locally sourced food. You connect with a small group of women in the most natural, unforced way. You wake up without a rush, your to-do list doesn't exist, you connect to your body in a way you never have before, and you can finally, hear your own intuition again, and this time, you trust it.
You'll leave feeling restored, reconnected, and clear on the woman you're becoming.
Your retreat host
Katie Bezou is a women's mindset coach, yoga teacher, and somatic practitioner.
Katie works with women all over the world, helping them break the cycle of overgiving, people-pleasing and putting themselves last, so they can finally show up for their own life with the same energy they've always given to everyone else. Because of her work, women know exactly who they are, what they want, and how to build the life they've always dreamed of.
Her work blends movement, somatic practice, mindset tools, and life-changing workshops that cut straight to what matters.
She has held space for close to 100 women globally, and calls Portugal, one of the most beautiful corners of Europe, home since leaving the corporate world in Dubai behind.
To enhance your retreat experience, the following can be arranged:

Not at all. In fact, the less experience you have, the more this day will open up for you. The yoga is gentle and accessible for every body. The meditation is guided. You don't need to know what you're doing. You just need to show up.
Faro Airport is the closest airport, approximately 85km from Monchique and around 1 hour to 1 hour 20 minutes by car. We recommend taking a taxi or hiring a car. We can also organise this for you for an additional cost.
Airport transfers are not included in the retreat fee. However, if you would like help arranging a transfer with a trusted local driver, simply email hello@katieintentionalliving.com and we will take care of it for you.
This retreat has been intentionally designed as a space to slow down, not a packed itinerary. We will enjoy a guided hike to explore the beautiful local surroundings, but any additional exploring is entirely up to you. We are happy to offer guidance and recommendations, just ask.
Absolutely. Many women come alone and find it one of the most liberating parts of the experience. You will be welcomed into a warm, intimate group from the moment you arrive.
We welcome women of all abilities and fitness levels. We do recommend disclosing any existing health conditions or injuries at the time of booking so that sessions can be adapted to your comfort level where needed. If you have any doubts or questions before booking, email hello@katieintentionalliving.com and we will be happy to advise.
Good. This retreat was designed with you in mind. You do not need any experience with yoga, meditation, or retreats to be here. If you are feeling called to come, that feeling is enough. If you are still unsure, email or book a clarity session with Katie (link above) to ask more.
June in Monchique is pleasantly warm, with average highs of around 26°C and cooler evenings dropping to around 16°C. There is very little chance of rain, and you can expect long sunny days with around 14 hours of daylight. It is warm enough to enjoy the outdoors comfortably without the intense heat of peak summer. We recommend light layers for the evenings
Here is a suggested packing list to help you prepare:
Swimwear
Comfortable walking shoes for the hike
Yoga and activewear for daily sessions
A white or light coloured outfit for our final evening celebration
Flip flops
Sun protection including a hat and sunglasses
Toiletries and personal items
Please note that yoga mats and props are provided. You will also receive a journal in your Intentional Living welcome kit, but you are welcome to bring your own.
WORTHY. is not a holiday and it is not a spa break. It is a deliberately small, intimate experience designed for women who are ready to do something that actually changes how they feel about themselves and their lives. Every element, the location, the practices, the workshops, the food, the space, has been chosen with intention.
If you would like to extend your time in Monchique before or after the retreat, we recommend booking separate accommodation in the local area. We are happy to share recommendations, just email hello@katieintentionalliving.com.
Yes. If you have any questions or want to talk it through before committing, book a free 15 minute clarity call with Katie (see above section to book).
Katie Bezou is a women's mindset coach, yoga teacher, and retreat facilitator. After thirteen years living in Dubai (originally from the UK), Katie relocated her family to Portugal, a move that deeply shaped her philosophy around intentional living, slowing down, and trusting your own instincts.
Katie founded Intentional Living in 2023 with one mission: to help high-functioning women get out of their own way and reconnect with who they truly are. She works with women globally through 1-1 coaching, group programmes, and retreat experiences, combining mindset work, visualisation practices, and yogic philosophy to create real, lasting transformation.
WORTHY. is Katie's most immersive offering to date, a space she has created for women who are ready to stop performing and start living.
You will leave with more than a sense of relaxation. You will leave reconnected to your intuition, clear on what you want, and with a renewed trust in your own voice. Women leave remembering they are WORTHY.
Worthy of success and abundance, without needing to put their life on hold and whilst experiencing joy at the same time.
