8 Days of Movement & Mindfulness
Zanzibar
Rediscover your passion for life through spirit and heart connection, movement, and mindfulness. Allow the vibrant energy of Zanzibar’s pristine white beaches and turquoise waters to restore you. This retreat invites you to embrace a balance of gentle movement and stillness, fostering a deep connection with your heart, emotions, and inner self.
This retreat is FOR YOU if you wish to relax on a stunning stretch of white beach in the Bwejuu area, with the ocean just steps away for swimming or snorkeling. Each morning begins with Qi Gong and a sunrise meditation, followed by a yin-oriented program that emphasizes gentle movement, introspection, and flexibility.
The schedule allows ample time for excursions around the island or for simply unwinding at the retreat center, where you can savor peaceful moments of being rather than doing—letting the sand cradle your feet as you slow down and ground yourself.
