The Sahaja film
Our philosophy
सहजsahajaSanskrit
saha together with+ja born
born with you · natural · innate
Sahaja is the state you were born with: natural, unforced, fully present, full of joy and curiosity.
Everyday life can bury it, but it never leaves you.
You don't find it by withdrawing from the world. You find it in the middle of life: in movement and breath, in dance and journaling, in a long shared meal, in a day outside with nowhere to be. Slowly the mind grows quiet, and you begin to sense what feels right for you.
Our retreats are six days to return to it, and to carry it home with you.
What are Sahaja Retreats
A small group of like-minded people, a beautiful place in nature, two or three highly experienced teachers and a high-end private chef. Each day is guided by one element, and every practice that day works with its quality.
Settle into the landscape, meet the group and slowly land in your body.
Soften and let things move. A day of fluidity, feeling and letting go.
Find your strength and inner heat. A day to challenge yourself, playfully.
Breathe deeper and open up. Your connection to others, and to yourself, grows even deeper.
Stillness and spaciousness. Room for clarity, perspective and whatever wants to emerge.
Gather what you found and take it with you into everyday life.

The retreat
Here in the hills of the Algarve, every day is guided by an element: Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Space, before the last morning helps you carry it all home.
Mornings begin with Vinyasa and a silent brunch in nature. Afternoons bring a new workshop, from breathwork and ice bath to ecstatic dance or cacao, with time for the pool and sauna. Evenings end around a family-style dinner by our private chef.
Everything held
One price, everything taken care of. You just arrive.



The people holding the space
Where you’ll stay
A hidden retreat centre in the hills of the Algarve. Three lodges and a private villa are tucked between palms, agaves and old stone terraces, with quiet corners everywhere and views that stretch across the valley.
A day at Sahaja
Every activity is optional.


From the kitchen
Food is at the heart of every Sahaja retreat. Our private chef creates high-end vegetarian cuisine from fresh, local produce: deeply nourishing, full of colour and flavour, and inspired by the element of each day.
A brunch buffet, eaten in silence. Take your plate and find a quiet spot in nature.
A light, fresh snack between practices.
A family-style dinner with many dishes to share, and a healthy dessert every night.
Coffee, tea and fresh fruit all day. Vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free and other dietary needs catered for on request.
The heart of the kitchen
Private chef
Millie is an English private chef based in Mallorca. She started out cooking on superyachts before choosing a life on land, and today cooks for retreats, private events, villas and high-end clients. She has been our retreat chef from the very beginning and is an essential part of the Sahaja team.
Her food is colourful, seasonal and made from the freshest local produce, with a menu that follows the element of each day. Her kitchen is open, so you can watch your meals being made and chat with her along the way. Fair warning: guests tend to fall a little in love with her food, and with her.
