ABOUT HARMONY ROOTS RETREATS
Harmony Roots Retreats creates welcoming spaces for people to reconnect with themselves, nature, and community.
Each retreat is intentionally shaped to support presence, rest, and quiet reflection, allowing clarity and insight to arise naturally.
THE APPROACH
Harmony Roots Retreats is guided through careful curation and collaboration.
Attention is given to rhythm, flow, and atmosphere, while experienced facilitators are invited to guide the practices and group journey.
There is no expectation to change or become anything — only an invitation to arrive as you are.
Our Facilitators
You’ll also be able to follow each facilitator on their own Instagram pages. If you can’t make it to a retreat but are in the Algarve you can still explore what each facilitator offers in their own specialty — whether it’s energy work, dance, meditation, or other holistic practices — and connect with them individually for your own healing and growth.
Helena Sampaio
Helena is a holistic practitioner offering embodied energy practices through her work at Zen Chakra. Her offerings include sound-guided Kundalini Innerdance, Reiki, and vibrational energy practices that support balance, awareness, and inner calm. Helena brings a grounded, intuitive, and compassionate presence to her facilitation.
You can learn more about Helena’s individual work at www.zenchakra.org or via her instagram.
Raquel Sampaio
Raquel Sampaio is a facilitator of creative movement and somatic dance, dedicated to awakening the body’s natural intelligence through vibration, presence, and intuitive expression. Her work is rooted in the belief that the body holds memories, truths, and pathways of healing that can only emerge when we give it space to speak.
With years of experience in somatic practices, free dance, body awareness, and emotional release processes, Raquel creates safe environments where each person can return to the body as a sacred home. Her approach weaves movement, breath, energetic sensitivity, and deep listening, guiding groups and individuals through journeys of reconnection, surrender, and authenticity.
Through dance, Raquel facilitates transformative processes that invite the release of tension, the awakening of life force, and the rediscovery of essence. Her work is a fusion of technique and intuition, structure and mystery — a space where the body becomes language, healing, and a portal to what is true.
Ben Ellis
