Why Sun + Soul
Hello sweet friends,
EJ here, founder of Sun + Soul Retreats. My sweet baby that exists for YOU. So women can travel + have fun + be whimsical + feel less alone + build self-love in places that feel like fairytales.
As women enter their 30s and older less and less of the world is catered to her except anti-aging creams and bubble-bath “self-love.”—it can be disheartening, this yearning to be seen and accepted. Sun + Soul Retreats is an oasis serving women who are ready to choose themselves.
Traveling with Sun + Soul Retreats brings women together JUST as they are—we’re a tribe that stay close long after the retreat ends.
It’s the perfect combination of cultural tastes + ways of life that get you thinking differently; wild excursions that push you out of your comfort zone; spiritual ceremony to tend to your inner child and soul; women’s circles and late night chats and early morning runs and communal meals that give you that summer-camp feel.
It’s a time where women can just be themselves—no having to show up as someone other than who they fuckin’ are.
It’s more than yoga
It’s more than a tour group
it’s the trip you take for you
Sun + Soul Retreats was created for the misfits, the lonely, those dying to be seen—for women to explore the world and embrace who they are.
Sun + Soul Retreats exists to create sisterhood, to provide spiritual growth. We exist for women to gain confidence, adventure, explore another culture, taste new foods, do something that scares them, and connect through ceremony.
Each retreat is crafted to be a perfect balance of play, ceremony, adventure, rest, and yoga.
This is the trip you take for YOU, sister
