Our group will lodge at the most magical place: Las Flores Resort.

Here will be our home base for colourful meals,  adventure’s beachside, splashing in the pool, and private excursions. This experience is welcoming a variety of guests- families, singles, couples.

When looking for flights the airport is San Salvador, El Salvador.

A TYPICAL DAY:

Each morning, you can get up for dawn surf patrol or sleep in and meet up for a delicious breakfast. Optional mid-morning meditation and yoga ensues.

After morning mindful movement you have the choice for beach/pool time or more surf! Lunch is served in open air in the restaurant overlooking the beach break.

If you are up to it, painting sessions are mid afternoon where Estelle takes you on mindful art journeys and invites you to create meditative watercolour art inspired by wild El Salvador wild coast. We will be using our tropical vistas as inspiration, and work our way to a final memorable piece.

Dinner is at 3-courses of goodness in local El Salvador taste and delectable options for kids too. Upon coming home you will feel energized, rested and inspired.

Art & Yoga

Each morning I will offer a yoga session and in the afternoons a painting session. The Art & Yoga activity package is geared toward adults and included everyday (except on your free day: Wednesday). Children under 12 are welcome to attend these sessions for free, but you will need to accompany them to the sessions. Each package includes art and yoga for one adult. Add-on packages for additional adults or children over 12 are available separately.

NOTE FROM ESTELLE:

I am just so excited that you are thinking of joining my family and I for El Salvador Experience 2023! This will be my fourth International Retreat. As a family, we have visited Las Flores Resort four times -each time more memorable and magical than the last!  

When our boys were little, Scott would surf before breakfast. We would have breakfast as a family, do beach/pool and then I would go up on the cliff for yoga before noon. Lunch is served, then siesta and art (or surf with kids!) is often before dinner. Scott often goes back surfing randomly throughout the day (because it’s right out front!), and we take turns caring for our children and congregate at meal times. I see community time being around meals, and art+yoga time being steeped in mindfulness. Your family can design the vacation you want around this but I also leave it open for singles and couples to join us as well!! :) Spa and other activities such as fishing are also available. 

This experience is not training, it’s a vacation. All activities are optional. It’s the first time I open it to a family-friendly experience. I am a little nervous but also excited at the prospect of being together with like-minded families as a community. More friends, more fun! 

The Art & Yoga activity package is geared toward adults and included everyday (except on your free day: Wednesday).
