this is your invitation
Untamed Tide isn’t a holiday. It’s a homecoming.
For five days on the warm shores of Zanzibar, timed with the November full moon, the Indian Ocean moves beside you as you soften out of survival mode and back into your body. This is slower, deeper, and more intentional than a getaway. It’s a space held entirely for the woman beneath it all. Not who you are for everyone else. Who you are underneath that.
Rooted in conscious connected breathwork, ocean cacao ceremony, somatic practice, and real sisterhood, this is a transformational women’s retreat in Zanzibar where nothing about you needs fixing, because you were never broken.
This isn't a retreat where you fill your days and come home needing a rest from your rest.
only space to feel, to see clearly, and to let go.
Days by the sea for release, truth, and self-return - for the woman ready to let the tide take what she's outgrown, and come back to what's real.
Does this feel familiar?
You've spent so long being who everyone else needs you to be that you've lost sight of who you are underneath it all.
- You're holding it together on the outside, but something inside is asking for more.
- You're tired - not the kind of tired sleep fixes, but the kind that lives in the body..
- You keep waiting for permission to finally choose yourself.
- You sense there's a woman beneath all the roles and routines, and you're ready to meet her again.
If that landed somewhere in your body, you’re exactly who this retreat was created for.
what awaits you..

So glad you found your way here
Between us, we've walked through depression, motherhood, loss, and the slow work of coming back to ourselves. So when we hold space for you, it's not theory — it's lived experience.
We believe your body already holds the answers, and nothing about you needs fixing. Our work is simply guiding you back to it - with compassion, honesty, and a little humour along the way.
Together, we create immersive women's retreats across Africa -transformational spaces where you don't have to perform, hold it together, or have it figured out. You just have to arrive.
This retreat is for you if…
- You feel there’s more within you, waiting.
- You’re tired of doing it all alone.
- You’re ready for real change, not surface-level rest.
And it’s not for you if you’re looking for a light, social getaway. This space goes deep, and it’s held for women ready to meet themselves.
