Take a moment to imagine this: you wake to the sound of soft waves brushing the North 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 to be anywhere else. You begin your day slowly, savoring fresh fruit, a warm matcha or coffee, and the feeling of being fully present in your own body.


Joy is healing. Come play, rest, and relax in North Cyprus 

APPLY TO THE RETREAT

Welcome to THE CYPRUS RETREAT

The days unfold with intention, spacious, soulful, and gently guided. With movement, stillness, and sacred connection, you’re invited to soften, reset, and come back home to yourself. Every detail is taken care of. There’s nothing to prove, nothing to push through. Just a space to be nourished, held, and reminded: you were never meant to carry it all alone.

You’re overwhelmed by the pace of life and craving deep rest

Your nervous system is on edge, and you long to feel grounded again

You’re moving through a transition and seeking clarity and calm

You want to soften into yourself and let go of constant doing

You’re craving soul-aligned connection and sisterhood

You’re ready to step away from the noise and return to yourself
You’ve given yourself permission to pause and your body thanks you

Your breath is slower, your thoughts are quieter, your heart feels held

You’ve created space to calm + hear what your soul has been whispering

You’re
flowing in harmony with your body and nature’s rhythms

You’ve found belonging in a circle of women who truly see you

You return home nourished, reconnected, and deeply restored

Yasmine

The first retreat was so life changing that I decided to hop on a second one, because I just knew that no matter what happens in the trip, the INTENTION behind it was gonna be PURE, HEART OPENING, and HOLY. After the trip, I left with A whole new regulated nervous system , discovered new nature horizons , bonded with a new community of supportive loving sisterhood that made me feel seen, understood, loved

Amber

“I feel genuinely amazing. I feel like I have a new, refreshing, zest for life and am reinspired and motivated. I have the most positive energy within me right now and it feels so light and reassuring. I feel wayyyy less worry and anxiety and like I have trust in the universe. It’s such a good feeling to know that I’ve found friends, role models and a support system for life. Sian, you are one in a million. Your purpose and intention shows through everything that you do

Vhairi

Before I arrived, I felt pretty soulless. All the energy had been extracted from me, and I knew I couldn’t pour from an empty cup. When I left I felt quite literally high on life!

I fell back in love with life again, and met the best of friends, true sisterhood and felt completely recharged and ready to take on the next challenge.

Nicole

The level of joy, love and peace I have felt in a single week is unmatched to anything I have experienced to this day.

The way I connected to others and was able to re-connect to myself is something I will strive to uphold in the future. I have made memories that will last a lifetime and I’ll always look back to this experience with a heart full of gratitude.

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.

Melanie

I was immediately drawn to this retreat because I’ve been wanting to create intentional slowness in my life, while surrounding myself with love and sisterhood. Having been to one of Sian’s previous retreats, I knew that her energy would attract the most open hearted, genuine women. That was certainly the case with this retreat, and throughout our time together I have felt so loved, seen, and valued by each and every woman. Leaving this experience, I feel nourished from within.

Stefanie

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.

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.

The Island That Started It All

In 2021, I came to Cyprus chasing warmer weather (London was not giving) and ended up finding something I had no idea I needed so badly. Space. Time. Lightness. 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 back at home  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. Now I’m inviting you to experience the magic for yourself.
