Some chapters don't begin with a plan, they begin with a pause. . .
Imagine waking to a valley blanketed in soft morning mist, the historic vineyards painted in the warm, deep hues of autumn as the Douro invites you to slow down.
This is the welcome into your next season.
The air is pure.
The silence is deeply restorative.
And everything around you feels like a sacred allowance to stop waiting, come back home to your body, and receive.
The Inner Season is a 5-night luxury retreat for a small group of women who are ready to step fully out of the life they've been white-knuckling - and into the one that's waiting.
Led by Dr. Jennifer Surjana, this is where clinical wisdom meets the wild, quiet medicine of actually slowing down.
WHAT AWAITS YOU
-
Five nights at Six Senses Douro Valley, one of the most celebrated wellness sanctuaries in the world - ancient vineyards, world-class spa, and a stillness that your nervous system will recognize immediately as safety.
-
Private Mercedes transfers from Porto, step off the plane directly into the experience that awaits.
-
All meals - organic, locally sourced, and genuinely extraordinary. This is Portugal. The food alone is worth the trip.
-
Full spa access, plus one complimentary full-body massage - this is the time to indulge... rest isn't a reward here, it's the work.
-
Alchemy and embodiment workshops rooted in the rhythms of the land and the season you're in.
-
Creative ritual inspired by Portuguese tradition - grounding, joyful, and unlike anything you've done before.
-
Group teachings and channeled insight with Dr. Surjana woven throughout the week - held inside the most beautiful container imaginable. This is the magic of the Douro. We allow the land to cocoon us as we embrace transformation and step into the season that awaits.
-
A private 1:1 session with Dr. Surjana during the retreat - unhurried, to go deep on exactly where you are and what comes next.
-
A private follow-up session within 30 days of returning home - because the real integration happens after, and you won't be doing it alone.
-
Spacious time to rest, reflect, and reconnect with your body’s innate intelligence. Sometimes the greatest transformations happen in the in-between...and we're here for it.
WHO THIS IS FOR
This retreat is for women ready to finally step into something new... the next chapter...
For the woman who:
-
Feels called to something more embodied, more beautiful, more intuitive - but needs guidance accessing it
-
Has experienced loss or disappointment, and is craving sacred space to heal
-
Longs to feel held, restored, and quietly reconnected to herself
Whatever season you're in, this experience will meet you where you are.
Most importantly: this is a space to come alive again. While the container we create is profoundly sacred, it is equally celebratory. We are here to immerse ourselves in deep luxury, world-class food, and unadulterated pleasure. You are allowed to let your guard down, feel lighthearted, and spend six days being completely, utterly indulgent. And here you will learn that you deserve nothing less.
