Something Spectacular Happens When You Step Away From the Everyday
What better way to embrace the magic of life than in Portugal, where coastal paths meet timeless cities, colorful azulejo tiles tell ancient stories, and the Camino invites us to walk with purpose and presence. This journey is designed to awaken your sense of wonder, deepen your connection to self and others, and remind you of the power you carry within.
Our 6-night adventure begins in Porto, a vibrant riverside city where old-world charm meets modern energy. Think cobblestone streets lined with colorful buildings, world-class cuisine, and the soul-stirring sounds of fado music. We’ll explore iconic treasures like the whimsical Livraria Lello bookstore and wander the Ribeira district along the Douro River. Porto is the perfect launch point — grounding us in beauty, history, and culture before we step onto the Camino and into the deeper journey that awaits.
From Porto, we travel to Póvoa de Varzim and begin our journey on the Camino Portugués Coastal Way, walking a sacred path traveled by pilgrims for centuries. Our days wind us through seaside towns and fishing villages — Vila do Conde, Apúlia, and Esposende — each offering its own rhythm of ocean breezes, fresh seafood, and timeless connection to the land and sea.
We culminate in Viana do Castelo, a jewel of the north where the Santa Luzia Basilica watches over the city from above. Known as the patron saint of sight, Santa Luzia reminds us that clarity — of vision, of purpose, of self — is always available when we slow down, walk with intention, and open our eyes to the beauty before us.
Walking the Camino fosters self-reflection, spiritual renewal, and a deeper connection to the world and self. The physical act of walking the ancient paths becomes a moving prayer, offering opportunities for gratitude and the discovery of inner strength amidst nature’s sacred backdrop. Transformation, clarity, healing, and a renewed sense of purpose awaits you.
If your soul is whispering that it’s time for something more — more adventure, more meaning, more you — this retreat is your portal.
Before, during and after the retreat, you’ll also be guided through intentional connection circles led by me — sacred gatherings designed to help you ground, reflect, and confidently walk in your power. You’ll engage in eye-opening conversations that will offer perspective, inspiration, and a deeper sense of what you are here for.
This journey is a call to adventure, a gathering of brilliant women, and a soulful experience designed to expand your worldview and reignite your path forward. Come ready for beauty, breakthroughs, and lifelong memories.
“Traveling with Jenny was a powerful life-changing experience in all the best ways. The combination of her thoughtful and experienced coaching, the immersion in the local culture, and the meaningful conversations with other women opened doors to thinking about life in a different way.”
“Jenny listens deeply, designs experiences beautifully, and holds space for adventurers to honor what feels right for you – even if it’s not part of the itinerary. The personal, career and spiritual growth that she has unlocked for me has been exponential. If you have the opportunity to join Jenny on a retreat, just do it!”

Let’s Explore the World Together
Seeing the world is a huge value. I took my first trip abroad when I was in high school. I’ve been hooked ever since. I love airports! I love culture. I love food. I love meeting new people and experiencing new lands. Travel is good for the soul. I’ve traveled extensively in the United States and globally (32 countries and counting!) from Sweden to Spain, India to Iceland, Brazil to Bermuda, Japan to Jamaica, China to Russia.
The PORTUGAL CAMINO RETREAT is a curated travel experience for women leaders who value meaningful exploration, elevated conversations, and soul-stirring discoveries. Blending the best of transformational retreats and global travel, these WORLDLY WOMEN ADVENTURES are about being fully alive in the world — in your power, in your pleasure, and in connection with brilliant women who just get it.
What truly sets the PORTUGAL CAMINO RETREAT apart is how seen, stretched + grateful you’ll feel as a citizen of the world. Plus, we’ll take care of all of the details for you!
“If you’re thinking about going on a retreat with Jenny, be prepared for an authentic, deep experience that encourages you to face yourself head-on. Learning to recognize your own gifts, identifying your barriers, and accepting your own greatness, alongside other powerful women who are holding space with you … that is what a Jenny retreat can do.”
“Jenny is gifted at bringing powerhouse women together, designing a retreat to bring out the best in everyone, and facilitating for maximum effectiveness and fun.”
The PORTUGAL RETREAT is your invitation to walk in your power — literally and spiritually — along one of the most sacred routes in the world. On this bespoke adventure, you’ll step onto the Camino Portugués Coastal Way, where every mile invites you to release what no longer serves you and embody the woman you’re becoming.
Through coastal walks, cultural immersion, and circles of connection, you’ll gain the clarity, courage and confidence to take bold action toward your next level.
What are the dates?
October 3 - 9, 2026.
You’ll check into our group hotel in Porto, Portugal in the afternoon of Saturday, October 3. We’ll kick off the retreat this evening with our opening circle, followed by a welcome dinner to get the good times rolling.
Our retreat ends the morning of Friday, October 9. A transport will take you to the airport for your flight.
The weather in early October tends to be pleasant and mild with average daytime highs around 68-71°F (20-22°C) and cooler nights dropping to 52-56°F (11-13°C) and occasional showers, requiring layers.
Included in your registration is participation in THE WAY, a group coaching experience that begins two months before we depart and completes one month after we return, so you are fully prepared, deeply supported, and thoughtfully integrated every step of the way.
What airport do we fly into?
Plan to fly into Porto's Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport (OPO) by 2 p.m. on Saturday, October 3 so you can unpack and rest before our welcome session + dinner. If you are flying from the US, this means you will fly on an overnight flight Friday, October 2 that gets you into Porto on Saturday, October 3. Plan to fly out of Porto's Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport (OPO) anytime on Friday, October 9. You are of course welcome to extend your trip on the front- or back-end if you want extra time in Portugal.
To enter Portugal, your passport must be valid for at least 3 months beyond your intended departure date.
Where are we staying?
We are staying in several charming 4-star and boutique hotels in Porto, Vila do Conde, Apulia and Viana do Castelo. Our private van will safely transport our luggage from one destination to the next as we walk the Camino.
What level of physical activity is required?
To be a good fit for this retreat you should be able to:
- Walk for 7 - 10 miles a day for the 3 days we are on the Camino (note that we will have an air-conditioned coach van if you are unable to walk the entire distance on any given day)
- Be comfortable with changes in weather and prepared with layers, good shoes and go-with-the-flow attitude
Can you accommodate my dietary needs?
I'm an introvert. Will I feel overwhelmed or out of place?
We see you, introvert — and you are so welcome here. This experience is designed to honor your energy. While we offer connection circles and opportunities for meaningful conversation, there is always space for solitude. Whether you want to walk alone on the Camino, journal in your room, skip a group meal, or wander solo through town — it’s all celebrated here. You get to choose your own rhythm.
We create the kind of space where you can be yourself and connect in ways that feel natural and nourishing.

Is the cost a tax-deductible business expense?
If you’re self-employed and live in the US, the cost of your investment in this program is likely a tax-deductible business expense. This program helps you “maintain or improve skills you need in your trade or business” (IRS language). Check with your tax preparer about this being an “education expense” or “professional training” as a deduction for your business. In most cases, it will be.
What is your refund policy?
If you need to cancel, you'll receive a refund of monies paid less $2,000 when your cancellation is received by June 1, 2026. Please note that after June 1, 2026 no refunds or partial credits will be provided if you choose not to attend, arrive late, or depart early. We highly recommend that you purchase CFAR (Cancel for Any Reason) trip insurance to protect your investment should unexpected circumstances arise.
If for any reason you find you’re unable to attend, you may transfer your spot to another woman who meets the retreat criteria. You will be exclusively responsible for identifying and securing your replacement participant and coordinating payment arrangements directly with her. All transfers must be completed and communicated to us no later than August 21, 2026. After this date, transfers will not be accepted.
We appreciate your understanding of this policy, which allows us to honor our commitments to our travel partners and create the most unforgettable retreat experience.
“A retreat with Jenny is magical. It is so therapeutic to be surrounded with amazing like-minded women who support and lift you up. Jenny’s energy and spirit is contagious and to experience her in person is invigorating and inspiring.”
“I arrived not knowing what to expect, and what I found was a dream. Every experience, every exercise, every seed Jenny planted in us was rich, meaningful, and full of love. I left the retreat with so much inside me, and with tools to continue exploring, discovering myself, and opening to all the possibilities ahead.”
