THE WILD ONE

ADAMÃE
OCTOBER 11-16, 2027

For the free spirits craving space away from the pull of routine.

At Adamãe, we’ll gather for a week of movement, music, nature, and release. We’ll dance under the stars, move through yoga practices soundtracked by live DJ sets as the sun sinks over the Algarve, feast together in community, and spend our days exploring wild waterfalls and open landscapes.

I drove north to stay a night at Adamãe and immediately fell in love with this venue. Imagine a cross between a festival + a retreat - that’s what we’re gathering for in this gorgeous land.

Autumn is the perfect time to gather in this area of Portugal for our final retreat of 2027: to move our bodies, create joy, connect deeply, and experience it all together in community.

About Adamãe

Whilst deep in research mode for our retreat series, I stumbled upon this land via online search. When I saw the images of the space, I immediately felt called to host our final retreat - The Wild One.

A quick phone call later; and I drove up that next weekend to spend a night myself here. I wanted to see the land for myself, to feel what they have created and connect with the artists behind the project.

Safe to say, it was truly magical. Large, spacious, luxurious glamping tents, style oozing out of every little chill corner. A shala that feels powerful and grounding as soon as you step inside.

Adamãe is an off-grid regenerative eco project, and it couldn’t be more perfect for The Wild One.

Meet Your Hosts

Christie Knight

I’ll be guiding you through this retreat with morning and evening Yoga practices. We’ll move through Mandala Vinyasa, Classic Vinyasa, and slower practices like yin, slow flow and extended guided meditations.

I also can’t wait to introduce you to practices I’ve fallen more and more in love with, like ecstatic dance + free movement.

Andy Frantzeskos

As with our full schedule next year, Andy will be in the kitchen lovingly preparing all of the food for the week. Food that will deeply nourish our bellies + hearts.

With 15+ years of professional culinary experience in commercial kitchens, Andy has got us covered. His cooking is all about joy — big flavours, bright colours, and always a heavy focus on working with seasonal produce.

Marie Mon Amour

I met this talented lady at an event in the Algarve, and we’ve become close ever since.

Marie wears lots of professional hats: she is an incredible DJ, educator, and facilitator. She runs her own festival in Portugal, heads up a community organisation focussed on the arts, and is also trained in psychedelic therapy, hosting her own workshops, 1-2-1 sessions + retreats in Portugal.

For The Wild One, Marie will support me in bringing our schedule to life.

Notes From Our Guests

Jacqueline, London

My time at the retreat in Portugal was truly life-changing. Christie is an incredibly inspiring yoga teacher — so knowledgeable, kind, and endlessly patient. She created such a supportive and welcoming environment, and I learned so much from her during the retreat. Since returning home last month, I’ve continued my yoga practice almost daily, which is something I never expected. I feel calmer, more in control of my thoughts, and genuinely happier in myself.
The whole experience was made even more special by the beautiful, peaceful location, which allowed me to completely switch off and recharge. Andy, the head chef at Rovi, prepared most of the meals, and every dish was nourishing, healthy, and absolutely delicious.
I left feeling refreshed in every sense, both mentally and physically, and I’m already looking forward to returning again next year. I can’t recommend this retreat highly enough.
Beth, Somerset

This was my first experience of a yoga retreat and truly my first experience where I’ve felt so fully immersed in a yoga practice, so thank you! Christie is SUCH an incredible teacher and the way she guided the sessions and created space, both physically but also beyond that, was truly incredible. The way both Christie and Andy have crafted an experience combining their skills soooo perfectly is just such a joy to see and be part of.
I found it so interesting to reflect upon when I arrived vs when I left - initially I thought that I wasn’t super clued up on yoga compared to everyone else, but actually I’ve left with the realisation that yoga is so much more than just holding a pose and I’m really grateful that Christie opened my eyes to this. I’ll be recommending to everyone I know!!
Sophie, Amsterdam

For my first ever yoga retreat, I attended Christie and Andy's retreat in Paraiso Escondido and wow I was completely blown away.
I joined alone, but immediately felt welcome as Christie nurtured an open, comfortable community. Beyond that, Christie is an incredible yoga teacher, her classes are very diverse, creative and inspirational and my mouth is still watering for Andy's food weeks after the retreat. I left feeling transformed - I felt lighter and more confident - ready to take on the next chapter of my life. Thank you so much 🩷
