Hewanorra Self-Care Retreat
A retreat with a powerful promise of rest, relaxation, and restoration
A unique opportunity to reconnect with yourself in a beautiful environment, affording yourself the chance to explore and perhaps reset your dreams, and take your self-care to another level…
Come away with us for 10 days and 9 nights to the beautiful island of St Lucia. Known as the “Helen of the West indies” it’s the jewel in the crown of the eastern Caribbean islands. Also, the only island with its own walk-in/drive-in (dormant) volcano.
What’s in store?
We arrive into (1) Hewanorra airport in Vieux Fort, spend three days and nights in (2) Soufriere, home to the Pitons and sulphur springs, then move to the north of the island, to (3) Rodney Bay, staying at Bay Gardens Inn, walking distance to one of the island’s most beautiful beaches, Reduit beach.
Hi, my name is Marla.
We’ll spend the mornings relaxing, walking on the beach or swimming if preferred. Early birds might like to watch the sunrise: Your time is completely your own so you choose which activities to take part in – or not. There’ll be plenty of time to sit around doing… Absolutely. Nothing.
Activities
There will be two opportunities to bathe in the amazing sulphur springs – for a soothing and healing mineral bath. We’ll be visiting historic landmarks such as Pidgeon point, and sailing on the Caribbean Sea. Also on offer will be life coaching, guided journaling and meditation, and massage, as well as time for yourself and time to explore the island like a local.
Add in organic, local food and drink – coconut water straight from the coconut – taking in St. Lucia’s incredible fauna, flora and birdlife, and nights relaxing, listening to music and/or dancing! Friday night is Gros Islet Street Party.
It’s all unbelievably beautiful!
