Stories from our past retreats

"I'd been thinking about taking a solo trip for a long time, and when I came across Sukacita, something instantly resonated. I wasn't just looking for sunshine and adventure, I was looking for a place where I could slow down, reconnect with myself and meet people who shared that same desire to live life a little more intentionally.

Travelling alone still felt exciting and a little daunting, but from the moment I arrived, I felt completely at home. Ruby and Thijs created such a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and every little detail had clearly been chosen with care. The rhythm of the week: morning yoga, surfing, moments of reflection, plenty of laughter and time to simply be, gave me a sense of calm I hadn't felt in a long time. There was the perfect balance between doing things together and having space for yourself, and I left feeling inspired by the wonderful people around me.

More than anything, this retreat reminded me to trust myself again. Saying yes to Sukacita wasn't just saying yes to a holiday, it was saying yes to myself. I came home feeling calmer, stronger and more confident, with the feeling that this was only the beginning." - Robin, 2024
