      About this trip

      Join Susannah van der Wende for 6 nights / 7 days in the stunning archipelago of Bocas Del Toro, Panama!


      Bocas del Toro is world renowned for having one of Central America's largest and most biodiverse rainforests, as well as unbelievably beautiful and pristine beaches. This trip will be the perfect blend of relaxation, fun in the sun, and a deep dive into your yoga practice, which let’s be honest, we will all need come March! 


      Susannah will be offering two, always optional, yoga classes daily. Sessions will be challenging enough, but also designed to meet all levels. Immerse in your practice with Susannah’s light hearted approach and knowledgeable guidance while in the presence of paradise. 


      Free time can be spent soaking up the sun on our near private beach, relaxing by the pool, biking to hidden beaches, exploring hiking trails around the retreat center, horseback riding, snorkeling, scuba diving, and experiencing the local culture of Bocas del Toro. The optional excursions are very affordable and allow you the opportunity to create your own perfect week. Be as active or relaxed as you like! 


      Our trip begins in Panama City, where we meet up at the international airport (PTY) and fly on our included, inter-country flight to Bocas Del Toro (a $250 value). Upon arrival at our exclusive retreat center, you can expect 3 healthy and delicious, locally sourced meals each day from our private chef, daily Yoga classes with Susannah, and all of the sunshine you can soak up! We are also including one group excursion in your retreat package, which will be a boating and snorkeling excursion of the islands off Bocas town.


      Our retreat center features a 65 foot lap pool, secluded beach, and nature reserve where you will see wild sloths, monkeys, toucans and more! We will have exclusive use of the entire property, which includes 3 beach houses, all with multiple bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchens for your use. 


      A $500 deposit is required to reserve your space at our retreat center and your seat on the included inter-country flight from Panama City (PTY) to Bocas del Toro (BOC).  


      Payment plans can be easily set up for your retreat balance, which is due by January 1st, 2020. Please email info@solseedretreats.com to inquire about payment plan options, or with any retreat questions.

      I loved the accommodations at Santa Barbara Beach resort, and all of the activities that Sol Seeds provided. I also loved Micah‘s outdoor guidance experiences and the nature excursions. Overall, it was a wonderful experience!

      Angela and acandance are amazing! I love all of their retreats, and this was a memorable experience for me. The location was breathtaking. But the food was very limiting, the 400 stairs should’ve been added in the trip info and the scorpions in the room made it imposible to sleep in.

      I had a wonderful time. The location, the Essaouira Lodge, was awesome: Beautiful bungalow, walk distance to the yoga outdoor arena, dining area, swimming pool...and quick ride to the Medina. The food was interesting and delicious...every meal a new experience! Best of all, was doing daily, breath, yoga and MELT sessions with Joyce and Rudy...and meeting a lot of really great folks and forging new friendships.
