"I will be talking about this retreat forever! I have a hard time fully explaining to people the impact this retreat had on me, but the best way to put it is: see for yourself and you won't regret it. This retreat brought love, community, strength, connection, knowledge, and growth. For that, I am forever grateful! I can't wait to do it again. :)" - Haylee S | New Mexico | 1st time FSW Retreater

A NOTE FROM CAROLE
Founder of Free Spirited Wanderer, E-RYT 500 Yoga Teacher, and Lifestyle Coach
Welcome - I’m so happy you’re here! This will be my 2nd retreat at Casa Fuzetta and the 27th I’ve hosted overall. I love traveling off the beaten path, immersing myself in local culture, and embracing the importance of slowing down to be truly present. These values are the heart of a wholesome retreat, helping us feel alive and aligned with an authentic travel and yogic experience.
This year, I felt called to make the Portugal retreat women-only—it just felt like the vibe. I believe in the power of more women courageously taking up space in this world, and owning that space in their truest form. This retreat will be a container for women to feel seen, heard, and empowered through connection, discussion, yoga, meditation, workshops, intuitive dance, and journaling.
My hope for you is that these retreats prepare you for your life’s journey—creating space to step into the fullest expression of yourself, walk with purpose, and live with love.
