A transformative retreat to redefine your sense of self and reawaken your radiance
CASA DO SOL
MAFRA, PORTUGAL
8—12 October 2025
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.
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:
o
Reconnect with your authentic values, purpose and passions
y
Let go of outdated identities and limiting beliefs
h
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
n
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:
v
Deeper self-connection
q
A boost in confidence and creative flow
F
A sacred pause to reset and be seen
x
A playful space to explore and express

Her superpower: Helping you to release the blocks that have been holding you back and awakening you to your highest potential
MOOD LDN Founder Lauren Parmar is a qualified Transformative Coach, Meditation & Yoga Teacher who studied with ICF-accredited Animas Centre for Coaching, The British School of Meditation and Kindred Yoga School respectively. Lauren founded MOOD LDN with the desire to create a space for women to come together to work through their fears and unconscious blocks, find space and calm amongst the chaos, to connect with their authentic desires and develop the confidence needed to create the changes they seek. To explore challenges with a gentle curiosity, face the truth courageously, build a life intentionally and emerge as a better version of yourself.
Coaching is about creating a future that is different from the one you are currently living. It enables a journey of self-exploration which can give you greater self-awareness and help you to examine and reshape many areas of your life. Lauren’s approach is less about what you’re doing, and more about who you are being. She will help you to evolve not just your life and career, but your whole mode of being. Body, mind and spirit.

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.”
