Setting Yourself Alive
7-Day Retreat · 26 May – 2 June 2027
You're functioning. But are you actually living??
Maybe you've known this feeling for a long time: that you're functioning, but not truly living. That something inside you has grown quieter, muted, and you couldn't say exactly when it began. From the outside, everything seems fine. On the inside, it feels flat. Ordinary. As if you're watching your days pass by instead of feeling them. Maybe it shows up as a quiet sense of overwhelm. As guilt, because you long for more even though so much already "works." As the feeling of not really being seen, even in the middle of a full life. As the question you don't ask out loud:
Is this really all there is? This isn't a crisis. It's disconnection. And it's far more common than most people admit.
It's time to be fully here again
7 days to come back into connection with yourself. No more just managing. Living again.
THE INVITATION...
A retreat that brings you back
Seven days. Four directions. One path back to you.
Setting Yourself Alive is a 7-day retreat from 26 May to 2 June 2027 at Vida Pura, a quiet eco-retreat on Portugal's wild southwest coast, held by two guides, Emma Bushin-Reimann and Esther-Maria Lindner. The journey leads you through the four directions of the Medicine Wheel: Air opens the heart, Fire rekindles what was dimmed, Water lets flow what was held back, and Earth brings you back into your body. You won't go home with just a beautiful memory. You'll leave with a tangible sense of aliveness, a renewed connection to yourself, and permission to feel fully again, not just functional.
ARRIVE
Who have you arrived as, and what for?
Air – Love & Inspiration
...the heart opens. Opening the heart. Remembering what inspires you, who you love, and how it feels to love yourself without having to earn it.
Fire – Courage & Action
Finding what was dimmed and rekindling it. Turning insight into movement, into decision, into action.
Water – Emotion & Creativity
Finally letting flow what was held back. Reconnecting with your feelings and the creative current beneath them.
Earth – Body & Grounding
From grounding into the earth, through visioning, to anchoring the new form in your body.
Weaving – Integration, Mindfulness, Stillness
Birth yourself.
The Venue: Vida Pura
A peaceful valley in the middle of a nature reserve on Portugal's wild southwest coast, just 6.5 km from the sea. The Seixe River flows through the grounds down to the award-winning beach at Odeceixe. On site: a natural swimming pond, an open-air yoga deck, a ceremony space, a fire pit for evening rituals, and gardens tended by biodynamic principles. A place made for exactly this kind of work!
WE ARE ESTHER & EMMA.
As founder of Tallet and a keynote speaker, Emma has guided people through personal turning points for over 10 years. As a funeral celebrant, she also accompanies transitions at their very edge, where farewell is final. This has taught her something she could never have learned anywhere else: people don't get through a transition by being told why it's necessary, but by having someone hold space for what goes unspoken.
Esther-Maria Lindner is a psychic intuitive, shaman, author, and international speaker. She turned down her family's business to follow her own path, and after a 15-year marriage, she walked away and recalibrated her life a second time around. For over 25 years, she has guided women through life's biggest thresholds, from birth to death, back into their bodies, their power, and their own aliveness. She is the creator of three mentoring programs: Conscious Conception, Inner Alchemy, and The Empowered Woman.
„I set myself alive. Not the woman who survived. The woman I've always been."
Esther-Maria
"I set myself alive. I've stood at the threshold long enough. Now I'm walking through."
Emma
DO YOU WANT TO FEEL YOURSELF AGAIN? TO TRULY COME ALIVE?
If you're hesitating to find an answer right now, that is your answer. You're functioning, but you're not living. Awake, but not alive. Busy, but not touched. You're not too small for this life. You're trapped in a version of yourself that has become too small. Being alive isn't a mood. It's vitality flowing through you. It's the courage to tear down the walls you built yourself. Setting Yourself Alive breaks those walls open. Seven days, two women who have walked this path themselves. Spaces are limited. Early bird pricing ends 30 November. Book now.
If something inside you is quietly saying yes right now, this is the moment to listen.
