Today more than ever we are disconnected.
Disconnected from our communities.
Disconnected from our environment.
Disconnected from ourselves.
With demanding lives, busy schedules & countless responsibilities, we are never truly present. We rush from one thing to the next, chasing the next big thing that is supposed to make us happy and push full steam ahead despite our bodies’ signals to slow down.
A state of constant stress, anxiety, depression, and chronic disease is the result of this hectic lifestyle.
Meeting Your SELF is your opportunity to retreat, slow down, and recharge your batteries.
However, you won’t only press pause for the moment. You’re actually taking an impactful break for yourself to come back into balance and receive tools & practices to integrate into your daily life to create real & lasting change.
During these 5 days, you will experience a variety of psychological and spiritual modalities to come back home to yourself & remember what’s truly important. This process is supported by the potent powers of nature in general & the land we practice on in particular as well as the sacred community of like-minded souls we come together as.
If this resonates with you, consider this your personal invitation to join us.
It’s time to choose yourself.

Julia introduced me to Kundalini Yoga and it was a great experience! Not knowing what Kundalini Yoga is like, I came with no expectations and appreciated Julia’s explanations and instructions at the beginning of the sessions. Her motivating words and tips on how to use the breath to support the more difficult exercises helped a lot to experience what our bodies are actually capable of doing when listened to and used wisely. My personal highlight was to experience gratitude and relief after two different meditation sessions and I am still thinking back gratefully to these moments on the mat in the middle of green nowhere. Thanks a lot for opening doors and hearts, Julia!
Thank you for making me discover Kundalini Yoga. It felt very natural to me. Your lessons were a real pleasure, your soft voice, your precious advice made me feeling ME. I quickly felt the benefits of your teaching. I can’t wait to have a new class with you soon.

Your retreat venue
Cara Creek Eco Lodge, Coimbra, Portugal
For our Meeting Your SELF retreat, we have partnered up with Cara Creek Eco Lodge, a sustainably built and family-run retreat center that is every nature lover’s dream. Located in a majestic valley where the Mondego & Seia rivers meet, this place carries a special energy. Having lived in Portugal herself for 6 months, Julia has experienced the healing spiritual powers of this land firsthand.
At the lodge, you can enjoy all the comforts of private accommodation while sleeping to the sensations of nature in their custom-designed Eco Pods or riverside Bell Tents. Or treat yourself to a bit more luxury in a cozy room with a private entrance.
During your stay, you will be nourished by garden-to-table meals prepared by
our exceptional retreat chefs. All ingredients are either sourced from their own organic garden or other local gardens to provide delicious high-quality food. Special dietary requirements can also be taken into account.
Cara Creek Eco Lodge might be remote and off-the-grid but there’s plenty to experience and discover here: lounge by the natural infinity pool, star gaze from the wood-fired hot tub, socialize around the fire pit, read a book on the private beach, explore the Mondego river by paddle board, hike to the nearby waterfall, book in for holistic therapies of your choice – or simply enjoy your time off by doing nothing but relax.
Meet your guide
Hello beautiful soul!
My name is Julia and I am looking forward to guiding you on this journey as a Kundalini Yoga Teacher, Holistic Self-Discovery Coach, and Reiki healer.
I am passionate about creating safe spaces for you to reconnect to your authentic self to live a more intentional & purposeful life by being true to who you are, your values & desires.
My mission is to show you a different way to experience life. A way that feels easy and expansive because you are showing up in alignment with who you truly are instead of forcing, pushing, and controlling your way through life.
I call upon the tools & practices that have proven effective throughout my own journey from depressed corporate accountant to free-spirited yogi & coach traveling around the globe.
I feel honored to support you on this journey back home to yourself & help bridge the gap between where you are now vs. where you want to be.
