Five days to stop managing and start actually shifting.
Priceless Peace is a 5-day somatic retreat at Villa Epicurea in Sesimbra, Portugal — 25–29 March 2026. Guided by Isabel Maria Jeworski (850h+ certified yoga teacher and somatic facilitator), it combines yoga, somatic practices, breathwork, EFT and inner child work into a single coherent arc. Maximum 10 guests. From €1,099 per person.
Priceless Peace is not a spa weekend. It is not a yoga holiday. It is Isabel's most intimate retreat — five days in Sesimbra designed for people who carry a lot and who are ready, finally, to put some of it down.
Over five days at Villa Epicurea, you will move your body, quiet your mind and work directly with the nervous system where stress actually lives. Isabel combines yoga, somatic practices, inner child work, breathwork and EFT into a single coherent arc. Each day builds on the last. By day three, something typically shifts.
This is not group therapy. It is a structured programme that creates the conditions for genuine change through the body, in community, in one of the most beautiful corners of Portugal.
Maximum 10 guests. You will be genuinely seen, not processed.
Isabel will hold every session herself.

Where you will sleep
Villa Epicurea offers four room types at different price points. All guests share the pool, the dining table and every session — the room is simply where you rest. Pricing per room type is confirmed when you join the waitlist.

Food that supports the work.
Nourishment is not an afterthought here — it is woven into the design of the retreat. During deep somatic and emotional work, the body needs to be supported, not taxed. Food is one of the ways we do that.
All meals are prepared fresh each day using local, seasonal ingredients: whole grains, legumes, fresh vegetables, eggs, local cheese and fish from the Sesimbra market. Light enough to keep you present. Substantial enough to ground you.
Breakfast is unhurried. Lunch is shared around a table. Dinner stretches long into the evening — and in a small group, a meal together becomes its own form of integration.
One lunch is taken out in Sesimbra village, where the seafood is exceptional and the pace of the place does its own quiet work on you.
What comes with your spot
Villa Epicurea, Sesimbra
Sesimbra is a quiet fishing village on Portugal's Arrábida coast, around 40 minutes south of Lisbon. Turquoise water, limestone cliffs and a pace of life that makes the transition into rest feel almost effortless.
Villa Epicurea is an eco-luxury property with gardens, an infinity pool and indoor and outdoor spaces designed for exactly this kind of work. Beautiful without being precious. Private without being isolating.
The Arrábida nature reserve is directly on your doorstep. The village is a short walk. The ocean is there every morning.
What the five days look like
What shifts in five days.
“The place, the people, the food — everything was absolutely perfect. I was a bit nervous at first. But day by day I felt better, safer and stronger. The sessions really helped me calm my monkey mind. It was an emotional and magical experience. Isabel is such an inspiring and kindhearted human being.”

Google Review
“Isabel's retreat was truly life-changing. I arrived experiencing late-stage burnout, exhausted and depleted, but left with a profound shift from scarcity to empowerment. This retreat didn't just offer temporary relief — it fundamentally changed how I viewed parts of myself, my health, and what was possible. It wasn't until the retreat that I gained the clarity to appreciate what I truly wanted.”

“I never imagined it would be possible to express and release everything that had been accumulated in my body and mind. Through Isabel's loving guidance I was able to unlock emotions I didn't even know I carried. Today I feel more aligned with my true self, more at peace.”

The next retreat runs 25–29 March 2026 at Villa Epicurea, Sesimbra. Join the waitlist for priority booking and early-bird pricing before the public release.
Which room option should I choose?+
If privacy matters most to you, take the single room with private bathroom. If you are happy to share a bathroom and want to save, the shared single is the most popular choice. The twin room is ideal for two friends travelling together. The 4-bed option is the most affordable and creates a real sense of community. All guests share the villa, the pool, the dining table, and the sessions — the room is simply where you sleep.
Do I need yoga or meditation experience?+
No. The yoga is accessible for all levels and all bodies. The core work is somatic and emotional, not athletic. Many participants have no yoga background at all.
What is the investment?+
From €1,099 (4-bed shared room) to €1,799 (single room with private en-suite). All meals, daily massages, somatic sessions, inner child work and accommodation are included. Waitlist members receive priority booking.
Can I come alone?+
Most guests do. The retreat is designed to create genuine connection and safety from day one. Maximum 10 guests means the group is small enough that nobody stays a stranger. Many guests leave as close friends.
Is this right for me if I am burned out?+
Burnout is one of the most common reasons people come. The combination of somatic work, inner child sessions, breathwork, rest and real community is specifically designed for people who have been running on empty. Not as a holiday. As an actual shift.
Where is Sesimbra and how do I get there?+
