Naturalezza - Breath & create
Bloom Into Who You Already Are
April 28 – May 2, 2027
Terra Quinta – Portugal
Spring is an invitation to renewal—a season when nature takes a deep breath, the light expands, and life awakens once again.
We invite you to experience four timeless days at the heart of Terra Quinta, a peaceful sanctuary nestled in nature just 45 minutes from Lisbon, thoughtfully created to host retreats dedicated to well-being, presence, and inner transformation.
Guided by Anne Bianchi, this retreat is an invitation to slow down, reconnect with your body, your breath, and your creativity, in a setting infused with beauty, simplicity, and gentle presence.
Over these few days, you will be invited to leave behind the pace of everyday life and return to what truly matters, immersed in an environment that nurtures silence, contemplation, authentic connection, and the awakening of the living within.
This retreat is for you if…
-
You feel the need to slow down and reconnect with yourself.
-
You long to cultivate greater presence, vitality, and inner balance.
-
You are navigating a period of transition or change.
-
You wish to awaken your creativity and reconnect with your life force.
-
You see yoga as a path of awareness, beyond the physical practice alone.
-
You are looking for a welcoming, non-judgmental space where you can simply rest, restore, and be yourself.
Nothing is expected of you. There is no need to perform or strive for perfection—only a willingness to be fully present with whatever arises.
What to Expect
Each day will gently unfold through a balance of practice, reflection, and rest, including:
-
Yoga of Presence
-
Breathwork (Pranayama)
-
Guided meditations
-
Quiet and silent moments
-
Creative workshops
-
Intuitive writing
-
Music and sensory exploration
-
Sharing circles
-
Nature walks
-
Free time to enjoy the swimming pool, sauna, cold plunge, or simply relax in the peaceful surroundings.
The guiding thread of this retreat is the feminine—not as a question of gender, but as a quality of being: the capacity to receive, feel, create, transform, and allow new life to emerge.
As Anne beautifully says:
"Spring does not ask us to become someone else. It simply invites us to bloom from who we already are."

Meet Anne Bianchi:
For more than thirty-five years, Anne Bianchi has explored the profound connections between the body, breath, psyche, energy, and consciousness.
A teacher of Yoga of Presence and a certified sex therapist, Anne offers a deeply integrative approach where yoga, therapeutic work, and embodied practices come together in service of one intention: helping each person cultivate a more authentic and vibrant relationship with themselves, with others, and with life.
Through her classes, individual sessions, and retreats held throughout the year, Anne creates spaces where the body reconnects with its innate wisdom, the breath regains its freedom, and presence reveals its transformative power.
Her teaching is deeply human, embodied, open-hearted, and free from dogma.
