Cowork week
Portugal 2026
A week to focus on your goals, meet inspiring people and feel balanced
Time to focus on your next steps?
Working ON instead of IN your business or leading role is necessary but often so hard to schedule in our busy work weeks.
We get distracted by the daily stuff, private life or just have to many to do's.
Working ON your business benefits from distance, spaciousness and a different perspective. When we have this we can move mountains of work; in your business ánd personal life. The big rocks from the rocks theory. Things that are not urgent, but very important.
If this sounds like you, I'm inviting you to the beautiful, vibrant town Lagos in the Algarve, Portugal. My place to be in the cold and dark winter months and one that I would love to share with you.

“A get-away to take a close look at your business"
“Anne zet met haar enthousiasmerende, hartelijke en open persoonlijkheid een geweldige atmosfeer neer voor een ontspannen en waardevolle tijd in het mooie Lagos. Het brengt tijd voor reflectie om met je eigen bedrijf aan de slag te gaan. Tegelijkertijd biedt het de mogelijkheid om te connecten met vrouwen die ook bezig zijn met de groei van hun bedrijf. Een mooi moment om te reflecteren in een mooie ontspannen omgeving, even weg van de dagelijkse rompslomp.
Deze co-work kan ik van harte aanbevelen voor elke vrouw die er even tussenuit wilt om haar bedrijf onder de loop te nemen."
English:
"Anne's enthusiastic, warm, and open personality creates a wonderful atmosphere for a relaxed and valuable time in beautiful Lagos. It offers space for reflection to work on your own business, while also providing the opportunity to connect with other women who are equally focused on growing theirs. A perfect moment to reflect in a lovely, relaxed setting — a welcome escape from the daily grind.
I wholeheartedly recommend this co-work retreat to any woman who wants to step away for a while and take a closer look at her business."

FAQ
1) Who can join the Cowork Week?
Everyone who can work remote and who supports my mission: 'to connect and inspire women without kids' is welcome!
2) What do I have to pack?
You don't have to pack any business style clothes, you can pack for this coworking retreat in Portugal as you would do for a holiday: Swimwear, hiking clothes, something nice for dinner and your favourite comfortable, beautiful outfits!
3) I have a dietary request, can I come?
Of course you can! Portugal is generally meat and fish focused, but Lagos has many eating options for all kinds of dietary wishes. Also, you can choose to eat at home. Plan a free discovery call with me so we can talk about your dietary request and find solutions if needed for the coworking retreat in Portugal.
4) How do I book?
To make sure the group is well balanced, we'll have a short call before you book. You can book that call via the links on this page, or send me an email. You'll find the link to my email under the buttons 'Book my spot'. Once we spoke and -of course- you decide to join ;-), I will then provide you with the link for the down payment. When your down payment is done, your booking is secured.
Time to book your flight!
5) Do I have to be a woman without kids to join the retreat?
No you don't. Over the years I have extended my mission to include everyone who wants to join. In the past years it has happened that a 'papacita' joined: a man without kids. We also had several moms, who want to reconnect with the woman they are apart from their role as a mother.
What matters to me is that the space we create together is focused on NOT having kids. That means: no calling 'home' and bedtime convo's with kids in the communal space. Respect and compassion towards those who don't have kids is key!
