Say I AM IN! and Choose Yourself!
The Empowering Women’s Self-Love Retreat to Embrace and Step into Your Divine Feminine Essence
São Miguel, Azores 20.-28.1.2024
Embark on a 7-day transformative journey, exclusively for women. Discover your inner strength, reconnect with your authentic self, and forge unbreakable sisterhood bonds!
Looking around the closing evening circle, after the fire ritual, you see the beauty and power of yourself reflected in the eyes of your new soul sisters. You feel the peace you haven’t felt in a long time. The sound of the music and firewood cracking reminds you how far you have come and how powerful you’ve felt all week. You can’t remember the last time your body felt so relaxed and open to all of life’s possibilities.
Stepping into the center of the sacred circle of women surrounding you, you realize you can finally take a full breath. The stress has melted away. You are ready to live your life to the fullest, walking our Earth as your higher self.
You feel the love and support swirling around you and realize that you can always bring yourself back to this moment and raise your state of being. This magical time has been all you desired and a sense of overwhelming gratitude is brimming in your heart and soul.
You reflect on the journey you co-created – the depth of sharing, the sweetness of your newfound connections, and the fullness of having truly worshiped your body and soul. You feel a deep knowing in your bones that the new ideas, skills, and vision will help you create the life of your wildest dreams. Your commitment is fierce and you trust that this transformational experience is part of you now and forever.
You know in your heart, you have finally found your way home to yourself…
Why should you say Yes?
During this retreat, you’ll learn how to destress, set new boundaries, step into your feminine energy, connect to your body and soul, rejuvenate, trust your intuition, and let go of “fight or flight” mode.
Daily yoga, workshops, amazing food, as many naps as you need, and relaxing dips in the pool will allow you to reset and recharge so you leave feeling grounded, present, and inspired to integrate all of this new knowledge at home.
Ocean Air and BEAUTIFUL Azorean Nature will Help!
Each glorious day will include powerful workshops, group/ individual coaching, evening tea/circle, and experiential learning where you’ll learn tools to prioritize yourself. It’s finally time for YOU!
While being immersed in stunning nature I will show you how to embrace your Divine Feminine so you can finally feel worthy just for being you. How amazing is that?
You’ll experience guided meditations, visualizations, thought-provoking journal prompts, group/ pair/ individual exercises, and intentional silence where you’ll hear the whispers of your inner truth and connect with your wisest self so you will be crystal clear on what’s the most important in your life.
By the End of the retreat, be ready to get to know the NEW you!
São Miguel, Azores
Nestled in the heart of the Atlantic Ocean, São Miguel is an island like no other. It’s often lovingly referred to as the “Green Island” due to its lush landscapes, vibrant flora, and crystal-clear waters. São Miguel’s beauty is awe-inspiring, and its natural wonders provide an ideal backdrop for our retreat.
What makes São Miguel truly unique is its volcanic origins. The island is dotted with mesmerizing volcanic craters, hot springs, and geothermal pools, creating an otherworldly atmosphere that invites exploration and contemplation. Imagine immersing yourself in the warm waters of hotsprings in Furnas or having a picnic next to a beautiful lake.
Retreat is carefully designed to offer you an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. São Miguel’s serene ambiance provides the ideal backdrop. Join me on this journey in São Miguel, where nature’s beauty and tranquility meet personal growth and self-discovery. It’s the perfect location for our retreat because it combines the charm of a hidden gem with the opportunity to explore and evolve. I can’t wait to welcome you to our retreat family and create memories that will last a lifetime..
If you are not convinced yet…Here are some more photos that I took exploring the island 🙂
About Senhora da Rosa
I personally scouted properties and chose Hotel Senhora da Rosa just for YOU. It’s an upscale accommodation that is worthy of women who are ready to treat themselves and replenish.
Arriving at this lush paradise, you’ll be warmly welcomed by Azorean hospitality. Feel the tension melt away as you take in the stunning ocean views, the diverse vegetation, and the sound of the surf. Here there is no “To Do” list and you’ll have the space to simply BE. An immediate sense of calm and ease will fill your being.
Located on San Miguel island in the Azores, less than 4 km from the city of Ponta Delgada and perfectly located between the mountains and the sea, Senhora da Rosa offers the perfect rest between tradition, nature, and elegance. The hotel is inserted in an old farm from the 18th century with 3ha where orange was harvested daily. The farm has been completely recovered to let know the history that keeps this wonderful place.
Elegant rooms are inspired by old ‘cafuões’ from the farm, guests can enjoy nature as a whole.
Within the Hotel facilities, you can enjoy unique and special experiences! They are located on a 12,000sqm farm, where you can find countless spaces to relax, a paddle tennis court, an outdoor swimming pool, and a hot water plunge pool located in a pineapple greenhouse that you can visit throughout your stay
Oh… the food!
With the island of São Miguel as a source of resources, products from the region are the main ingredients of the delicious gastronomic options that the hotel offers to be able to taste a true delicacy and delight your palate.
The flavors of the region pay homage to the Hotel’s tradition and origins, which is why our gastronomic offer recovers them and presents modern cuisine with touches of history, origin, and nature.
I made sure the food would be delicious as well as healthy. We will detox our bodies with natural cleansing juices and smoothies before breakfast every morning. Each evening we will be discussing interesting topics while drinking delicious tea.
Partnering with “Taste of the Azores”, we will enjoy an unforgettable picnic setting near a lake
All meals will include options for different dietary needs. Vegetarian, vegan, grain-free, gluten-free, dairy-free? I’ve got you!

Retreat Leader and Other Participants
Ingrid Ulaga
I AM your host for this magical retreat and I put my time, heart, and soul into making it an unforgettable experience.
I SUPPORT women to find their voice, power, and clarity, examine old patterns and create new value-based behaviors, speak their truth, and access their authentic inner wise woman – in sacred, safe, healing spaces with other women.
I BRING 18 years of commitment to my own self-awareness and growth. As an experienced facilitator and master-certified coach I passionately pass along what I’ve learned by guiding women through their own journeys and my own.
I DESIGNED this transformational retreat for YOU as I’ve been challenged by limiting self-beliefs, low self-esteem, not putting myself first, and being stuck in “Fight or flight” mode. How amazing would it be to free yourself and commit to what you want and crave?
I BELIEVE it is absolutely possible for you to create and live the life of your dreams! Join us!
