AKYNA is a retreat experience I lead for women, by women: a space built on the belief that we return to our natural state of being not alone, but together, through shared wisdom and community. Unlike the Netherlands retreats, AKYNA isn’t built around plant medicine; it’s a multi-day immersion in modern and ancient wellness practices, workshops on women’s health, circle ceremonies, and the kind of connection that’s hard to find in daily life. AKYNA has gathered in six countries so far, hosting two multiple day retreats: in Ibiza (2024), and most recently in Portugal (May 2026). The retreats were a wonderful success. A group of women spent a relaxing week together, doing deep inner work and coming away with a real feeling of sisterhood.
