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.
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
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

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

“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.

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.

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.
