Host & Founder of ConsciSea Retreats
Polina has dreamed of surfing and living by the ocean since childhood. At 19, she first came to Portugal and instantly knew she belonged. The moment she touched the ocean and stood on a surfboard, her life changed completely. Since then, she’s been organizing surf retreats around the world to connect with like-minded souls.
She will be exclusively hosting the Ericeira retreat, sharing her passion and helping our guests making their week unforgettable.
Andrea, originally from Piemonte, Italy, learned from his mum and grandma all the traditional recipes that he could as he would go to the market with them as a kid. As he grew up, he developed his own senses and style. Always with a wink to his roots, his kitchen is simple, elegant and full of flavours.
As part of your retreat program, Alina will guide you through intuitive art workshops that begin with a grounding meditation. You'll explore self-expression and creativity—no matter your skill level, even if you haven’t painted since school.
Her work invites a deeper connection with nature and your inner self, inspiring new perspectives through the creative process.
