Retreats where stories interweave and women come together
Tales of Her retreats are transformative soul journeys for women* in search of connection in community, alongside with the chance to let go of every day duties, relax and expand into the most authentic expression of themselves.
*note that we use the word “woman” to allow easy flow in our writing, however our retreats are for all folks who identify with “she/her” pronouns
In all our retreats you can expect:
Practices that go beyond the physical
Our yoga classes are crafted to make you feel amazing in your body, but also to guide through an explorative journey of your inner landscapes, fusing yoga philosophy with energetic and somatic principles. In each retreat you can expect a thread weaving throughout the practices in line with the tale we want you to experience. You can also expect sound baths, aromatherapy yoga, yoga Nidra and more…
Locations where nature blends with comfort
We put a lot of time and care into finding the best locations for our retreats. All retreat centres and villas hosting us are selected keeping in mind the importance of reconnecting to nature (countryside/beach/forest…), while also offering comfort and simple luxury. Check out the retreat you are thinking of joining for more detailed information on that specific location.
Delicious and colourful meals
We believe that food is not just fuel needed for our survival, but rather that it is one of the pleasures of life (our founder is Italian after all..). So we aim to serve meals that are healthy, but also delicious and we make sure there is always a scrumptious treat you can indulge in. We hire the best local chefs to prepare plant-based (mostly vegan with some vegetarian options) meals using locally sourced ingredients, whenever possible.
Intimate groups
We keep all of our retreats to a maximum of 15 participants as we believe that smaller groups are more calming for the nervous system and help promote easier connections. This also allows the retreat leader(s) and yoga teacher(s) to give you their full attention and assist you in anything you may need during the practices and throughout the day.
At our retreats we invite you to
Connect
Because within every woman, there's an innate longing for community. We've forgotten the power of coming together, sharing stories, and nurturing deeper connections. Our sharing circles and intimate gatherings are the perfect setting where new bonds are formed.
Soften
A reminder to let go of the achievement mentality, embrace softness and move through life with a sense of easeful flow. As Rupi Kaur said “to be soft is to be powerful”. We invite you to embrace yourself fully as you are in our yoga practices and to find ease in rest.
Bloom
A journey that helps you remember who you are at your core and invites you to embody it and express it. All while indulging in the simple pleasures of life - bathing in the sun, swimming in the sea, eating the most delicious foods.
