of
self
A transformative retreat to reawaken your radiance.
Casa Do Sol, Mafra, Portugal
8-12th October 2025
Welcome to CURATION OF SELF: a creative collaboration between Brand Curator Macki Maconie and Transformative Coach Lauren Parmar of MOOD LDN — a four-night immersive experience designed to reconnect you to your essence and unlock your most magnetic self-expression.
Hosted at the dreamy Casa do Sol in the heart of Portugal’s raw natural beauty, this is a nourishing space to play with your identity, expand your self-image, and activate a future vision that feels exciting, aligned, and utterly you.
Through daily yoga, guided meditations, creative rituals, brand styling and embodied coaching workshops, you’ll curate your next-level self, with confidence and intention.
Come to be seen, and leave transformed.
Why This Retreat?
We believe self-expression is sacred. In a world that asks you to fit in, we invite you to stand out — and feel safe doing so. Through a curated journey of self-exploration, you will:
Reconnect with your authentic values, purpose and passions
Let go of outdated identities and limiting beliefs
Create a powerful vision for your future and identify steps to close the gap between where you are now, and where you want to be.
Step confidently into a bold and magnetic new version of you
This retreat is an intimate experience limited to 12 people ~ a reawakening experience for female founders and heart-led visionaries who crave:
Deeper self-connection
A boost in confidence and creative flow
A sacred pause to reset and be seen
A playful space to explore and express
Leave feeling: empowered, inspired, radiant, and rooted in your personal power.
New friendships and a community who see and appreciate you
who is it for?

TESTIMONIALS
-
March, Entrepeneur
"I didn't realise it was everything my soul had been calling for. I arrived feeling a little lost on my path, and I left with absolute clarity about the purpose of life and was reunited with my confidence again after 10 years of being estranged from it. Thank you, Lauren, for creating such unique connections and a community that you won’t truly experience until you take the leap and immerse yourself in something new. One of my top life moments so far."
-
Stephanie, Community Strategy Consultant
“I felt so welcome and at home - like an actual (re)treat. The food kept surprising and time just flew by. It was such a cosy weekend and also productive in moving forward with more clarity of what and how I want things to be personally and professionally.”
-
Nynkee, Sustainability consultant
“Diving deep into both my brand and myself was incredibly impactful. Being guided with the right questions helped me understand how I function on a deeper level and how to connect that to my business vision. The vibe, location, setting, host and program were all amazing. I loved the diversity of activities, everything felt so comfortable, cozy, and beautifully curated.”
