ONE SPOT LEFT!
Take a moment to imagine this: It’s the Autumn Equinox. You wake to the sound of soft waves brushing the Cypriot shore. Morning light floods your room in golden warmth as the scent of salt and citrus drifts in. There’s no rush, no pressure — just this moment. You begin your day slowly, savoring fresh fruit, a warm matcha or coffee, and the feeling of being fully present in your own body.
This isn’t just a retreat — it’s a full-body remembering.

Dara
This retreat found me in the hardest season of my life. It took everything to show up — emotionally, financially, logistically but once I did, I was embraced by the most incredible group of women. I’ve lived a lonely life, and this retreat reminded me what it feels like to belong. I will carry that feeling, and those women, with me forever.

Grace
This retreat was truly life-changing. I came in with no expectations and walked away with lifelong friendships, a deeper connection to parts of myself I didn’t know I needed to meet. I made memories I’ll treasure forever, and It opened up something inside me that I know will continue to unfold for years to come.

Yasmin
This retreat was life-changing in ways I didn’t expect. It brought me closer to my goals, my truth, and most importantly, myself. The women, the space, the activities—every part helped me rediscover something I had buried. I found the sense of belonging I had been searching for.

Booking this retreat turned out to be the most powerful and nourishing thing I’ve ever done for myself. Every moment was so full, it moved me to tears. I left with a sense of peace, new practices and perspectives, and a more authentic version of myself. I’m so thankful I listened to the call. It shifted my life in a way I’ll never forget.

Leanne
I’ve never felt so safe, so seen, and so held in a space with other women. I’ve done retreats before, but this was different. Every detail, from the way the days were designed to the energy Sian brought—made me feel like I could finally just be.

Jasmin
The moments I will cherish the most are the moments of deep sisterhood connection. To be seen and held by fellow women in your most vulnerable moments, to be surrounded by women who have the capacity to hold your goodness ad your flaws, to be connected with women beyond superficial differences, that is soul changing.
(N0. 07)
Veree
It truly was a magical experience! Sian is the best host and if you’re scared to meet up with girls all over the world (+ my English is not the best), it doesn’t matter in the end because those connections will be there for life!

I felt called to tell because I wanted you to know that the work you’re putting into the universe is having an effect and that the sisterhood is so strong and is continuing to change my life. Thank you so much angel.

This retreat found me in the hardest season of my life. It took everything to show up—emotionally, financially, logistically—but once I did, I was embraced by the most incredible group of women. I learned how to let people see me, really see me, and love me as I am. We laughed, cried, healed, and held each other in ways I never knew I needed. I’ve lived a lonely life, and this retreat reminded me what it feels like to belong. I will carry that feeling, and those women, with me forever.

This retreat was truly life-changing. I came in with no expectations and walked away with lifelong friendships, a deeper connection to Bali, and parts of myself I didn’t know I needed to meet. The creative workshops — from painting to plant dyeing — helped me tap into something soft and alive within me. I made memories I’ll treasure forever, and I’m so glad I took the leap to invest in myself. It opened up something inside me that I know will continue to unfold for years to come.

I now know what it means to listen inward, to connect without fear, and to trust the beauty that unfolds when you step into the unknown.

Waiting for my flight to board and i wanted to say this was an incredible trip that I will never forget. Each one of us comes from a different walk of life yet we all came here together and created such a special bond. Thank you for everything, I have learnt so much from all of the women, Sian you are special.

I’ve never felt so safe, so seen, and so held in a space with other women. I’ve done retreats before, but this was different. Every detail—from the way the days were designed to the energy Sian brought—made me feel like I could finally just be. I came in disconnected and unsure of where I stood in my own story. I’m leaving with softness, clarity, sisterhood, and the kind of peace I didn’t even know I was missing.

The Island That Changed Everything
In 2021, I came to Cyprus chasing sunlight—and ended up finding myself. What was meant to be a quick escape from the chaos of London turned into a quiet reckoning. Surrounded by sea breeze, sacred stillness, and soulful strangers, I realized I’d built a life that didn’t feel like mine. On that trip, I chose to start over—from my relationship, my apartment, to the way I moved through the world. Cyprus was where my rebirth began. It’s where I remembered who I was. I’ve returned every year since, and now in 2025, I’m inviting you to experience the magic for yourself. This isn’t just a retreat. It’s a return. A remembering. And I can’t wait to welcome you home.

MORE ABOUT ME
Inner Restoration
Rest isn’t a reward you earn — it’s your natural state. At The Slow, you’ll be invited to drop the pressure, soften your edges, and sink into rituals that gently remind you how worthy you are of slowing down and simply being.
5 Pillars of Your Experience at The Slow
MOVEMENT + NATURE
From sunrise swims in the Mediterranean to mindful hikes in the hills, each moment of movement is an invitation to return to your body. There’s no pressure — just space to breathe, stretch, and feel grounded in nature.
Creativity as Healing
Macramé, intuitive art, and hands-on play will guide you back to your inner artist. These moments of creation aren’t about performance — they’re a safe space to process, explore, and reconnect with the joy of simply making.
BREATH + Stillness
Daily breathwork, visualization, and mindful journaling offer sacred space for release and reflection. In these practices, you’ll learn to listen deeply — not just to your thoughts, but to the voice of your soul that’s always been there.
Soulful Sisterhood
You weren’t meant to do this alone. Real, honest connection with other women isn’t just healing — it’s essential. This retreat offers something different: a space to be seen, supported, and held in sisterhood.

where we're staying
Our private luxury villa, nestled on the edge of the Cypriot coast, is a soulful blend of contemporary design and handcrafted touches. With direct access to the sea, you’ll wake to the sound of waves and end your days with golden sunsets and barefoot swims. This space was chosen intentionally — not just for its beauty, but for the peace it holds.
Inside, every room is bright, calm, and thoughtfully styled for rest. Whether you choose the privacy of your own queen bedroom or the warmth of a twin-shared room, you’ll have a safe haven to land each day. Both options share access to three modern bathrooms, sun-drenched living spaces, an outdoor kitchen, yoga decks, and hidden corners perfect for journaling, reading, or quiet reflection.

The retreat will be held in North Cyprus from September 21–27, 2025. Cyprus is divided into two parts: the south (Greek Cyprus) and the north (Turkish Cyprus, where we’ll be staying). One day during the retreat, we’ll cross into the south to visit Nicosia and experience the traditional Turkish Baths.
