The women welcoming you in

Two women. One welcoming experience.

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.

A little clarity before you go

Travel Questions

When should I book my flight?

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.
