The Essence
This journey is a pilgrimage to the wild, sacred soul of Mauritius - to swim reverently in her turquoise, clear waters, to commune with her resident whales and dolphins as galactic teachers, to meet the ecstatic rhythm of her volcanic source through drumming and dancing, to be with the Spirit of the locals who have called her home for generations... to open our hearts to her hidden history, untold by the settlers who rewrote it.
​
Together we weave ritual, intimacy and playful joy with the land, guided by women who hold medicine in their bones and by the living spirit of the island herself.
​
If you are feeling called to journey deeper, to awaken in beauty, pleasure and communion with Earth's wild places, and with like-hearted sisters, this retreat was curated for you.
