From early morning surf sessions and yoga, to waterfall hikes, time at the dog sanctuary, beach cleanups, soccer on the beach, good food, laughter, meaningful conversations, and more— every part of the retreat felt beautifully balanced between adventure, connection, and rest. Being my first retreat, I was unsure what to expect, but the entire experience and group of ladies were amazing.
Ella challenged me to work through mental blocks in surfing, and although it’s still a work in progress for me, the supportive environment she created felt incredibly empowering. It gave me the confidence, motivation, and renewed joy to continue my surfing journey when I returned home. More than anything, this retreat helped me gain confidence in my abilities and remember that growth happens when you’re willing to take the plunge.
I left feeling calmer, more grounded, and grateful for the meaningful moments and connections created throughout the week. Ella’s energy, intention, and ability to create community made this experience incredibly special. Gracias, Ella!
