✨Day 3 – Joy, Empowerment & Future Self✨

Our third full day together was all about exploring the power of our minds, embracing our femininity, and having fun.

We started the day with yoga with Sigrid Setsaas and after breakfast, we had a calming sound healing session. After lunch we had a fun and empowering dance workshop led by awesome dancing queen Nina Bodywisdom who created a beautiful and safe space for us to explore femininity through movement and tune into our bodies. We danced, laughed, sweated, and allowed ourselves to simply enjoy the feeling of moving without judgment or expectations.

Later, we explored the power of affirmations and our relationship with our future selves. We reflected on the goals and dreams we want to move towards, and how we can work with our minds to help make them a reality. Through meditation, repetition, and belief, we explored how the thoughts and words we choose can help shape the way we see ourselves and the future we create.

And then, the evening became a celebration. 💃✨ We had our very own Head Up Party, filled with delicious tapas, glitter, makeup, decorations, music, and lots of dancing. It was a fun and freeing night to play with our style and celebrate being together.

It was a beautiful reminder that empowerment can look many different ways: sometimes it’s moving our bodies with confidence, sometimes it’s believing in the woman we are becoming, and sometimes it’s putting on some glitter and dancing the night away with your girls.

A joyful, empowering, and unforgettable last full day together. 💛✨

✨ Day 2 – Presence, Courage & Stepping Beyond Our Comfort Zone ✨

Our second full day together began with a silent walk through the beautiful surroundings of Moinhos Velhos. It was a chance to set an intention for the day and simply be present.

After breakfast, we gathered for our daily Head Up Circle. Together, we reflected and prepared ourselves for the day’s program, which included exploring Lagos, going to the beach together, and having a sunset photoshoot.

For some, it meant going out without their wig for the very first time. Others felt nervous about the sunset photoshoot, while some were simply excited about the unique experience of sharing a beach with so many other bald women.

Together, we reflected on moments of courage from our own lives, sharing stories of times we had chosen bravery over fear. Through movement, reflection, and open conversations, we explored what confidence, self-love, and acceptance truly mean.

The rest of the day became an opportunity to put all of this into practice. To choose presence over perfection. To embrace ourselves exactly as we are. To discover that courage doesn’t always mean feeling fearless—it often means taking one small step while feeling vulnerable.

We spent a beautiful afternoon at the beach, our photographer Martin Jacobsen creating a safe and empowering space for a portrait photoshoot, while entertained us with his angelic voice, leading us in a joyful singalong.

The day was full of gentle reminders that the most meaningful transformations happen when we dare to show up as ourselves. 💙✨

✨ Day 1 – Arriving, Sharing, Connecting ✨

The first full day of the retreat began in the beautiful surroundings of Moinhos Velhos. Surrounded by nature, it’s a place that instantly invites you to slow down, be present, and connect with yourself.

We started the morning with a gentle yoga practice led by Sigrid Setsaas . After breakfast we had our first Head Up Circle, checking in with ourselves and reflecting on where we are in our alopecia journeys today.

This was also the day we shared our stories. We spoke about how alopecia has affected our lives, how it makes us feel, and the path that has brought us to this moment. There were tears, moments of recognition, and deep understanding as we saw parts of ourselves reflected in each other’s experiences.

After a delicious lunch, there was time to relax by the pool, soak up the sunshine, and simply enjoy being together.

In the afternoon, we were guided through a beautiful Breathwork session by our dear friend and Breathwork guide Annie, Annie Fridén🍦Breathwork online och retreats i Portugal. For many, it was their first experience with Breathwork as a powerful tool for connecting more deeply with emotions, allowing feelings to surface and gently releasing what was ready to be let go.

It was an emotionally intense and transformative day. The evening was dedicated to integration, rest, reflection, and for those who wished, a peaceful session in the wood-burning sauna.

A powerful first day together. 💛
