Madeira
THE TREK WITHIN : MADEIRA
MADEIRA 2027 — A VERY SPECIAL COLLABORATION
5–10 July 2027
Following our recent recce, we’ve secured the most incredible private 200-year-old Madeiran family estate overlooking Funchal, set within a beautiful green oasis just minutes from the city.
And this destination is particularly special to Natalie. Her mother lived in Madeira, she has a deep personal connection with the island and she speaks Portuguese — so this is a place she is excited to share from a much more personal perspective.

Our Madeira retreat will bring together what we both love:

THE JOURNEY WITHIN
But this won’t simply be a yoga holiday.
We want to create a Journey Within — combining meaningful yoga and wellbeing practices with the culture, food, nature and adventure of this extraordinary island.
There will be time to explore.
Time to practise.
Time to rest.
Time to connect.
And plenty of time simply to be.
unique himalayan experience
💛 A little about our collaboration
Natalie and YAR have already begun working together. Natalie joined us on a Kerala recce and has booked her own Kerala retreat with YAR for January 2028.
We’re also developing a deeper approach to supporting retreat guests before they travel, including 1-to-1 Journey Intention consultations with Clare, helping guests pause and consider what they would like to receive from their retreat before the journey even begins.
Madeira is the next chapter — and hopefully just the beginning of a beautiful collaboration between Rise by Natalie Nardi and YAR.
WHO IS THIS JOURNEY FOR
This journey is for spiritual seekers, adventurers, photographers, riders, yogis, pilgrims and travellers longing for an authentic Himalayan experience beyond ordinary tourism.
It is for those called to ancient cultures, sacred lands and transformational travel.
