for the:
wild woman
This island is one of the best kept secrets in the tropics. Only after signing-up will you receive the exact coordinates but you can expect two short flights from Manila. Out of respect for the culture and landscape of this tiny island, it’s invitation-only. My ask is that you’ve already attended an international retreat with us before. It may feel like a rite of passage to arrive but the reward is stunning. It’s truly one of the most beautiful places on the planet and the never-ending surprises will humble you. Come prepared with SPF and plenty of grit. Blood, sweat, and (happy) tears to be expected. It’s our most epic girl’s trip yet!
retreat intention: aliveness
primary chakras: solar pelxus
six (6) nights accommodation
Just outside the main tourist area is our quiet beachfront property. Sitting directly on the Philippine Sea, you’ll have full-time access to ocean swims, sunrises, and sunsets. Such a dreamy backdrop for this all-women’s retreat.
Two (2) daily yoga classes
Despite the many adventures, over the course of our week, we will still prioritize yoga as the foundation. Our covered yoga deck overlooks the ocean and is fully equipped with mats + props so you can pack light - bikinis, sneakers, yoga clothes, and sunscreen.
sunset tuk tuk adventure
We’ll take tuk tuks up north for a sunset at one of the most beautiful beaches and surf spots I’ve ever seen - it’s lined with palm trees and there are tons of tiny islands in the distance.
lagoon + island-hopping day trip
The Philippines is an archipelago of thousands of islands. So it would be criminal not to see more than one. We’ll take a boat charter out west for a day of exploring. Crystal blue waters and wildlife to be expected.
farming + cooking + weaving day trip*
The best part of traveling is learning from the locals. This day trip is an opportunity to immerse ourselves in tradition and be a part of the island’s sustainability efforts. We’ll get our hands dirty and close out with a farm-to-table meal.
*An additional $50/person will be donated from our group to the organization that is hosting us. This offering is already included in your retreat price. Thank you for supporting grassroots organizations around the world!
One (1) Group Surf lesson
This girl’s surf trip will ruin you (in the best way). The water is clear + warm and the local vibes are high. All-levels welcome!
*Not into surfing? Totally get it. You can hang back and relax or take a tuk tuk into town for some extra exploring.
60-Minute Massage
Massages will take place on the yoga deck during down-time throughout the week. Brought straight to you for ultimate relaxation.
2-day moto rental
At the end of our trip, scooters will be delivered to the property. We’ll split the group into two for a practice-ride through the palm tree groves. And only go through the busier part of town once you’ve gotten the hang of it. Option to take a tuk tuk instead, during our two (2) moto adventures on the island.
*Helmets required, as well as travel health insurance. Each person is responsible for their own moto and waivers will be signed on-site with rental company.
evening bonfire
Campout vibes on the beach make every surf trip complete. There are a lot of perfect days in our future.
local morning
An incredible yoga studio, owned by a dear friend, is tucked away in the trees. We’ll pay them a visit for a morning flow. And swing by one of the local coffee shops on the way home.
three (3) meals a day
Food on this island is so fresh and always made with love. We will enjoy most meals at the property, prepared by owner and chef, Tracy. With a few meals in town to fuel our days of exploring.
travel support from Los Angeles
My hope is that this retreat (this place) will change your life. It does require a bit more effort to get there. And I don’t want you to feel discouraged because of the flight path.
For those who want to travel with me, I can share my flight info from LAX. I will need to arrive two days before the retreat to prep. So, if you can add some extra days, I’d love to support your arrival to the island.
Airport Transfers
For those arriving on 23rd and departing on the 29th, airport transfers will be included to and from the retreat space.

common questions
Q: What makes this retreat different than others in the past?
A: I am giving a lot of trust to our group to navigate this epic trip. We will take appropriate caution for the bigger adventures (surfing and motos) and make game time decisions, as-needed, based on weather and group comfortability, to ensure that everyone is safely pushing the limits of their comfort zone.
Q: Is The Philippines safe?
A: Yes! Where we are going is an increasingly touristy area, which I have spent weeks traveling solo. Like most small islands, there is financial disparity between visitors and the working class. So it’s our intention to come in humbly and mindful of our footprint. Other than that, it’s a place you’ll feel right at home.
Q: I’m nervous about getting to the destination alone. Can you help me?
A: Of course! After pre-sale I will send you travel info to start planning your adventure. And, will coordinate airport transfers through the property for arrival and departure days. Plus, I’ll be on standby at the destination, awaiting your arrival!
Q: Do you need to be a surfer to attend this retreat?
A: Not at all! While there will be a group surf lesson, it’s totally optional. And all-levels are welcome and encouraged. We will run through surfing basics at the property beforehand, for those who are new. And get you paired up with an instructor in the water.
