Your Wellness Escape
Nurture Your Body, Mind, and Soul with Daily Movement

Immerse Yourself in the Healing Power of Sound Therapy
Celestial Echoes is a transformative sound experience designed to help you reconnect with yourself, reset your nervous system, and rediscover balance.

This yoga wellness retreat provides a sanctuary from the busyness of life, creating a space for profound stillness and healing. The carefully crafted tones and vibrations gently release tension, calm the mind, and restore inner harmony.

Navigate Your life with Ease: Befriending Your Nervous System

This compassionate and practical experience invites you to explore the connection between your nervous system, emotions, and behaviors. You’ll learn to recognize the patterns of activation and beliefs shaped by past experiences, and how they influence your current responses. Through guided exercises and reflective practices, you'll discover simple tools to cultivate a deeper sense of safety, regulation, and resilience. By gently befriending your nervous system’s responses, you’ll shift from states of survival to a space of connection, calm, and emotional balance. Leave our yoga wellness retreat feeling empowered with a newfound understanding of your body.
Somatic Voice Activation Workshop
This workshop invites you on a journey of self-discovery through the voice—not just as a tool for singing, but as a gateway to authentic expression. Because the voice is deeply vulnerable, carrying our emotions and personal stories, this experience explores its potential as a powerful medium for healing and self-connection. Join Sedef as she guides you to connect with your voice in a way that uncovers layers of authenticity. This process encourages you to show up for yourself with honesty and courage.
Through a blend of somatic practices, vocal exercises, and reflective inquiry, you’ll tap into the power of your voice and deepen your connection to authentic self-expression. In this supportive space, you’ll be invited to release emotional blocks, explore the unique resonance of your natural voice, and integrate movement, sound, and self-discovery. The result? A transformative experience filled with liberation, joy, and profound healing.

Feel the warmth of the sun, the gentle breeze, and the soothing rhythm of the waves as you unwind and reconnect with yourself. Enjoy a delicious lunch onboard, surrounded by breathtaking views.
