🌞 Floating Zen in Paradise! 🧘‍♀️⛵️ Ten days aboard a 45-foot catamaran sailing around Ibiza and Formentera — and somehow I’m still swaying (in the best way possible)! My amazing friend Donna Dowson somehow managed to blend yoga, adventure, laughter, sunshine, and soul-healing all into one unforgettable retreat. Each day started with ocean views, gentle stretches, and a soundtrack of waves instead of alarms. We swam in turquoise coves, shared meals under the stars, and laughed until the dolphins probably thought we’d lost it. 🐬💫 I came home saltier, stretchier, happier, and seriously considering selling everything to live on a boat forever. If you ever get the chance to join one of Donna’s retreats — do it. Just be prepared for a total body-mind-heart reset (and a mild addiction to Mediterranean sunsets). 🌅✨ #YogaAtSea #IbizaMagic #FloatingIntoBliss #Journeywithdonna

Wow- what an amazing experience!!! From the moment we stepped onto the catamaran until the time we disembarked we were so well taken care of. Everything we would need for this adventure was provided. Hard to say what I loved the most- great companions? yoga on the beach each morning? delicious food? beautiful scenery? swimming in the clear waters? I just know it was a wonderful adventure thanks to Donna and Pablo and my boat mates!

This was an AMAZING trip. Soulshine Bali is magical. The vibe can't be beat. The staff are fabulous, the food is wonderful and I had the BEST 2 hour massage at the Spa. So many fun spots to relax and enjoy the pools. Add to that, getting to be in Donna's group made it all the more special. Donna's energy is like a warm hug. She knows just when to gently nudge from your comfort zone while at the same time respecting your limits. It is more than simply doing yoga in a beautiful location, it's about connecting with yourself, and growing in ways you had no idea you needed to grow in. I highly recommend Soulshine! I highly recommend Journeying with Donna wherever she may go! If you have the opportunity to travel to Soulshine with Donna, do not hesitate, go!!

The Bald Head Island Gathering 2024 surpassed my expectations for a retreat. Our hosts, Donna and Nicoa were incredibly attentive to our every need. Our time was well spent relaxing our bodies and stimulating our minds and hearts to achieve an inner awareness that will remain with me long after today. Self-care and self-love are essential to incorporate into your daily practice. I'm grateful to have been reminded how important it is to pause and reflect on just how well or not well I am doing with these sometimes difficult practices. I learned to be kinder to myself. What could be better than that? Also, the island and accommodations were fantastic. Our days were so well planned that we flowed from one experience to the next and not once did I feel rushed.
