Bloom Portugal

A Rose Medicine & Womb Immersion

August 12–16

Bloom is a 5-day retreat in Portugal for women who want to understand, reconnect, and feel comfort and confident in their bodies.

The Bloom Experience

Join us for a journey through the menstrual cycle as a map, our innate barometer, helping you understand your patterns, energy, and inner world with clarity and compassion.

Rooted in both science and embodied practice (yes…we will dance), this experience weaves together health education, nervous system regulation, rose medicine, and deep feminine work.

“The transformation Zahava unlocked for me was going from seeing my period as an inconvenience or a non-event at best to one of my favorite times of the month because it’s the loudest permission slip for me to slow down in a world that’s constantly shouting at me to be productive. Within that slowness I can mine the gems of my intuition which fuel my work month-round.”

— Lauren

Rose medicine

Rose works with the subtle,
opening what might be guarded,
softening what has been held,
guiding you back into connection
gently bringing awareness to what is ready to be felt.

Throughout the retreat, you will experience:

  • Rose tea ceremony

  • Rose-infused rituals

  • Rose gifts

  • Teachings on the energetics of Rose and its connection to the feminine body

  • Sensory practices inviting softness, presence, and receptivity

Bloom was created for you.

You’re thoughtful, self-aware, and committed to your growth and wellness.

Your creativity feels more blurry or fragmented and there’s a part of you that knows your spark is ready to be directed, expanded, and shared. You are ready for a shift that is rooted within, grounded, consistent, and aligned with your growth.

About Zahava Rose

Zahava Rose is a trauma-informed reproductive health educator and founder of The Rose School.

With a Master’s in Education, Zahava spent years working in schools, witnessing firsthand the gaps in how we are taught about our bodies. This experience continues to inform her approach, making complex information accessible, relevant, and deeply human.

After navigating a period of deep illness that left her bedridden for nearly 2 years, Zahava began to listen to her body in a new way: exploring the connection between physiology, energy, and the nervous system. What began as a search for healing became the foundation of her work.

She is a certified Menstrual Mentor through Red School (UK), a trained Fertility Educator (FEMM), and a birth doula through The Matrona. She has also studied pranayama in India and Rose Medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine through mentorships in Costa Rica, New York, and Spain.

Zahava has led mentorships, workshops, retreats, and educational programs internationally, guiding women, mothers, and teens in restoring trust by developing a more intuitive relationship with their bodies.

What BLOOM Has felt like

Bloom is a space for you to remember and expand in presence and witness of other women.

Words from others

  • I have had the privilege of diving in deep with her and the profound shifts and understanding I’ve had with her work and understanding my body has been immeasurable, it’s a wild and quite new concept for many of us that we have the innate power to work with our cycles and inner wisdom around it.

  • “One of the most powerful shifts was in how I relate to my own body.”

  • “I’ve developed a true appreciation for my body and everything it’s communicating.”

  • “I feel more grounded, more confident, and more loving toward myself... it has brought me a clarity and softness I didn’t know I needed.”

  • A must for anyone looking to support the divine guidance of their cyclical natural blueprint.

  • Zahava has a warmth about her that is both powerful in its potency and nurturing in its presence. She sparkles as she conveys these teachings and the experience will lift even the heaviest weights on a heart. I trust her with my cycle wholeheartedly; she is incredibly bright and knowledgeable as well as empathetic and deeply emotionally intelligent. I have learned so much with her and feel so safe to go on this journey of exploring what my cycle holds under her mentorship.

  • Zahava created a space that felt safe, sacred, and empowering. She’s a gifted teacher and guide, and I feel so lucky to have learned from her.

There is a moment when a woman realizes

She can no longer live disconnected from herself.
She wants to understand herself.
Her rhythms.
Her emotions.
Her energy.
Her creativity.
Her BODY.

In a way that feels grounded and real so that she can share herself with full capacity, ease, and trusted authenticity with her work, family, and community. 

Bloom is your moment to blossom into this version of yourself. A version of you that is there already. A version you can be proud of, love softly, and be excited to share.

BLOOM

We have been taught to forget and it is now time to remember, together.
