A week of silks, hammock and sling with Julia Torggler — taught in a hexagonal open‑air studio above the Algarve coast, for a group small enough that everyone gets seen.
A week of silks, hammock and sling with Julia Torggler — taught in a hexagonal open‑air studio above the Algarve coast, for a group small enough that everyone gets seen.
Julia's sweet spot is the gap between "just starting out" and "already advanced" — the retreat is built around fabric work, so this is what makes a class click rather than a struggle.
Four teaching days, two 90‑minute classes each morning, one rest day dead in the middle. Afternoons are yours — and Julia's.

Villa lodging with a salt-water jacuzzi, home-cooked meals every day, and a fully rigged open-air studio built for exactly this kind of week.
No separate bookings, no hidden extras — lodging, studio time, meals and the closing photoshoot are one package, so the only thing to plan is your flight.
The hexagonal studio, the pool, the shaded terraces — all part of the same property, a short walk apart.
An Austrian aerial artist, trainer and researcher who has spent years exploring the connection between strength, technique, body awareness and creativity — on stage, aboard cruise ships, in circus rings, and now in her own retreats and training programs across Europe.
“Day one we focus on technique and sequencing in and out of hip key and catchers. From day two, we start exploring different ways to approach the same technique — more creative, more personal.”
On stage and off — a professional performer as much as a teacher.
“Today's class was the best birthday present. Thank you again for doing the most important thing to do — making people realize we're all different, with different bodies, timings and ways to get to the same point.”
“My students liked you a lot because you explain well and help them when things don't come, without insisting. They said they really liked your workshops.”
Shared and private room options, salt-water jacuzzi access included for everyone.
Silks, hammock/sling and an open-apparatus day, all led by Julia in the hexagonal studio.
Home-cooked, on-site — breakfast through dinner, every day of the retreat.
A professional shoot at the Algarve's sea caves, plus a closing showcase for the group.
Meredith on hand all week for logistics, excursions and anything else you need.
A House of Honey tee and a few local Algarve goodies, waiting in your room.
Per person, in EUR. Early bird runs for a limited window once pre-registration opens — after that, rooms are at the regular price.
Pre-registering doesn't charge you anything or lock in a room — it just moves you to the front of the line and locks in early-bird eligibility once booking opens.
Pre-registration is free and doesn't commit you to anything — it just moves you to the front of the line before this opens to everyone else.
