About - Ready to meet?

I’m Milena.

I live and work in the Algarve, where my work is shaped by the ocean, movement, and close attention to the body.

What I offer is grounded and experience-based.
It is not built on methods, techniques, or performance.

The work happens through direct experience — in movement, in stillness, in conversation, and in real environments such as the ocean or open land.

Surfing is one of the ways I work, but it is not the centre.
The centre is presence through the body, held within clear formats and boundaries.

How the Work Takes Shape

The work is offered through a small number of defined formats, including:

Surf sessions
Skill-based surf sessions held with attention to safety, timing, and embodied awareness.
Surfskate sessions
Land-based movement sessions supporting balance, coordination, and flow.
Extended presence-based sessions
One-to-one sessions using movement or stillness to work with attention and awareness.
Private retreats
Short, intentional stays offered selectively, within a clear and contained structure.

Each format is time-bound and stands on its own.
There is no required pathway and no ongoing process to enter.

Some offerings are women-only.
Others are open to anyone.

Availability varies, and not all formats are open at all times.
Everything is offered when it can be held with clarity and care.

I’m open to occasional collaborations with surf camps, retreats, or aligned spaces — when the scope is clear and the timing is right.

Any collaboration is agreed in advance with clear boundaries, responsibilities, and exchange.

You’re not expected to choose a “right” offering or understand everything in advance.

Each format is designed to be entered on its own terms, when appropriate.
