Women Re-Wilding
Leave your domesticated life behind to re-wild and re-connect with Mother Nature during this week’s retreat, specially designed for women.
Each day will begin with a guided, sunrise meditation on the water, followed by a yoga session designed to support your experience in the ocean with the dolphins.
After breakfast, we’ll have time in circle for learning and sharing. Swimming with our wild dolphin friends will be the priority every afternoon/early evening, with free time after dinner.
One of WildQuest’s most experienced facilitators, Cheryl Schirillo, co-created this week with master yoga teacher, Aura Garver.
This week of wild wonder will include:
- Rewilding ourselves as we connect deeply with Mother Ocean.
- Spending each afternoon/early evening on the boat snorkelling with sea turtles, spotted rays, and colourful fish over shallow coral reefs, and of course – connecting and swimming with our wild dolphin friends as much as possible.
- Nourishing, delicious food cooked on site to beautifully accommodate everyone’s special dietary needs.
- Watching the sun rise over the water each morning and the moon rise each night from the dock of our waterfront accommodations.
- Moonlight strolls on the beach and naps in the hammock under the palm trees.
- Daily sunrise meditation and morning yoga.
- Expert knowledge and complete support in the water by the WildQuest team.
- Caribbean-style free time to relax on the beach and explore the island. Life at a slower pace.
