Lavivian and Sonya believe healing happens one conversation, one walk, one laugh, and one peaceful moment at a time. Together, they created Sister Soul Retreats to provide women with a welcoming space to rest, reconnect, and rediscover themselves through sisterhood, wellness, and faith-filled encouragement.
Sonya and Lavivian have distinct, complementary roles—so you always know who can help and how each woman supports your retreat experience.

Sonya
“I'll help you slow down, breathe deeply, and remember who you are.”
Sonya is the founder of Sister Soul Wellness and the heart behind the retreat experience. With a background in caregiving, wellness education, community leadership, and women's empowerment, she creates spaces where women can slow down, reconnect with themselves, and heal without judgment.
She believes healing does not require perfection—it begins with one honest conversation, one peaceful walk, one nourishing meal, and one courageous step at a time.
At every retreat, Sonya guides:
Soul Conversations
Wellness Workshops
Walking Sessions
Journaling & Reflection
Community Building
Nourishment & Self-Care
An atmosphere where every woman feels seen, welcomed, and valued
“I'll take care of the travel details, so you can focus on the experience.”

Her warm personality and attention to detail help women feel confident traveling, whether it is their first retreat or their tenth.

Have a question? We’d love to help.
Contact Lavivian
Travel questions are welcomed by email. Share the retreat or destination you are considering, your preferred departure city, and what kind of help you need.
Wait until the retreat dates and location are confirmed. Once they are, Lavivian can help you compare timing and options before you book.
Can you help me find the best airfare?
Lavivian can help compare routes, timing, baggage policies, and available fares. Prices change frequently, so no fare can be guaranteed until it is booked.
Do I need travel insurance?
Travel insurance is optional, but it may help protect your plans. Review the coverage, exclusions, cancellation terms, and any pre-existing-condition rules before choosing a policy.
Can I arrive early or extend my stay?
Often, yes. Extra nights depend on hotel or venue availability and are usually arranged separately. Confirm your options before booking flights.
What should I pack?
Start with the destination weather, retreat activities, comfortable walking clothes, a light layer, personal medicines, and the packing resources on this page.
Can you help with special accommodations?
Please ask as early as possible. Lavivian can help identify travel options and connect you with the appropriate retreat or travel contact, though specific accommodations depend on each provider.

Healing Collective Retreats
Sometimes healing needs a change of scenery.
Our retreats welcome women who are ready to exhale, laugh deeply, move gently, and be cared for in community.
Intention-led experiences Each retreat is grounded in a healing intention that guides the reflection, movement, rest, and connection.
Connection without pressure Come alone and leave with sisters. Participate at your own pace. Rest is always allowed.
Thoughtful care Soul work, nourishing food, gentle movement, laughter, beautiful surroundings, and meaningful parting gifts.
