If you're on the fence about joining one of Pixie's retreats, just do it!! A week away in the hidden paradise of El Tunco was the absolute best gift I could ever give myself, and I'm so, so happy I did. Our week together was exhilarating and introspective by equal measure. Pixie and Natalie are a stellar duo that pulled off a seamless itinerary that both challenged us and softened us. I felt safe and cared for at every step of the way--by our facilitators, by the lovely and attentive staff at Balance, by our guides, and by each and every person who also decided to join SSS. I especially appreciated Pixie's genuine connection to the community of El Tunco; she shares family-level relationships with our local guides, surf instructors, drivers, and friends, all of whom quickly became our buddies, too. A feeling of friendship and warmth was palpable all week long, amongst our group and amongst the community who welcomed us to their land. I'll miss the ripe and juicy mangoes falling straight from the trees and onto my lap, but I'll miss our roaring laughs even more. Thank you, Pixie and Natalie, for sharing the magic of El Salvador and for an experience I won't soon forget.

Pixies Retreats are anything but...Why retreat with so many chances to surrender!? From the moment You make the commitment to join to the moment you land back home on your bed, you are connected, held and supported by a new group of friends and the environment she creates..... Pixies conections with the locals make her excursions a treat for even the most experienced travelers.... If you're hovering or on the fence...Push the button..This is the place!

I attended the El Salvador trip in October and it absolutely incredible!!! I’ve done a lot of travel in my life but this is by far one of my favorites. Believe it or not, I was hesitant on coming because I had never surfed(and quite frankly feared the ocean)but knowing Pixie and the amazing community she’s built I knew it would be a great experience. Not only did I fall in love with everything that is El Salvador, I fell in love with the ocean and surfing and made friendships and memories that will last a life time! I truly feel forever bonded to the group that went on this trip and I’m soooo grateful I went. 10/10 recommend! If you’re on the fence don’t be, you won’t regret it!!!
