This year’s Soul Adventures Retreat will be my final retreat in Ecuador. 

Most likely forever.

I didn’t want to admit this even to myself but I feel I have to let you guys know incase you’ve had Vilcabamba on your bucket list but kept putting it off.

The truth is, it takes a real team of locals before I can even announce the date of a retreat, let alone help the organisation of it run smoothly and most definitely make it a magical memory for everyone attending.

BUT my parents are selling their spiritual home along with the organic orchard and the meditation portal, which have all played a massive part in everyone’s transformational journey over each retreat. 

AND I can’t imagine a family run retreat without the family to run it with :), no matter how much I love returning to this truly unique corner of the world.

If you’ve been thinking of experiencing the real Valley of Longevity, please please please consider changing your current plans over 1-7 May this year.

I’d be devastated if you were yet another person asking to be added to the waitlist of a future Ecuador retreat, which will never happen. 

And if this May simply doesn’t work but you were still keen to retreat with me somewhere epic, pencil in Sardinia for September!

Details for that one will be revealed right after Ecuador.


Read all about our May adventure here>>

THREE THINGS I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE MOST ON THIS RETREAT:


1. Having my mandala drawing interpreted by a shaman. Before I had kids, this drawing from my own subconscious told him that I’m waiting for a child and the work which needs to be done first. I did the work and got pregnant with Lake :)

2. Our cacao ceremony. Getting naturally high and dancing (or drumming) all of your worries away is a pretty epic feeling. But getting high on chocolate which grew on the land we’ll be on must be experienced to be believed.

3. Our road trip to dip in the wild waters of the Amazon, which is the most invigorating and healing experience you can imagine.

The countdown to the most incredible event of the year has officially begun!

Did you know that I’m hosting a magical rejuvenation retreat, happening 11-16 October, in pure paradise called Sardinia?

It’s not a detox retreat, it’s not a fasting holiday, instead...

WE. SHALL. EAT!

And not just eat anything- you will enjoy the freshest locally-sourced organic fruits and veggies as well as exotic superfoods and sprouted seeds, made into gourmet raw vegan dishes.

AND I will teach you how to make them all so you will go home completely purified, satisfied, ‘meditated’, yoga’d, inspired, energised and equipped with new skills for life.

One of the people attending this retreat has been my coaching client for years and she valued the 5 day program to be AT LEAST 4 TIMES MORE expensive than it is.

So I guess you can call it one heaven of a bargain :)

Here are some love notes from dear clients:

"Tanya really knows her stuff. Having had her as my coach for three years, I sincerely believe that her retreat is well below its true value. Being in her presence is powerful enough, but having Tanya teach you her very best recipes, nutritional information and meditation practices is life changing in the very best way."

-Marianne Daniels, USA

"I suffered with migraines, bloating, severe aching and burning limbs, constant reflux, regurgitation and heartburn, severe fatigue, lack of concentration, anxiety and depression. Just days after learning from Tanya, I could feel the burning in my stomach and joints has gone down dramatically, as well as all aches and pains. My reflux and heartburn have reduced by at least 70%. I found it most helpful to discover what the alkalising foods are and how they rate on the pH scale, so if I'm ever feeling acidic, I just refer to the list, make Tanya's recipes and quickly feel better."

-Loretta Murphy, Australia

"Tanya is a fantastic example of how to live a life with passion and purpose. She gives an amazing amount of value every time she is with clients. I love to work with experts and learn from the best, Tanya definitely ticks that box. If you are interested in finding what real health and energy feel like, then a fantastic start would be to see Tanya in action, you will never regret it." 

-Graham Harris, UK

For the past 8+ years, my parents have devoted the most insane amount of energy, divine love and care to a land which now gives back over 100 edible fruits, vegetables and plants.

People have turned up at their door step not knowing why they were guided there, only to discover that a very rare and sacred meditation portal on their land called them in to heal.

Mum and dad hosted numerous raw food lunches on their property, I held multiple retreats and workshops there too, which attracted people from all over the world and SOLD OUT within days.

This magical place is located in Vilcabamba, Ecuador. It’s known as The Valley of Longevity.

Now my parents are off onto new adventures and to be closer to their beloved granddaughter, so another very very lucky family can enjoy the fruits of their labour.

The house, the guest house (rental) and the land are officially for sale!

Imagine yourself here.

Sardinia. One of the blue zones of the world, where more centenarians enjoy the best quality of life to anywhere else on earth.

Forte Village. Truly luxury accommodation, voted the World's Leading Resort.

Wake up to gentle movement through yoga and kick off your digestion with warm chlorophyll water.

Pick your own vegetables for a truly personalised juice from an abundant garden set within the 47 acres of the resort.

Understand yourself and your soul's message through mandala drawing meditation.

Dive into hours of Tanya's nutritional teachings, ultra health coaching and raw food workshops for longevity.

Experience healing and detox through massage and Thalassotherapy (a circuit of pools with saline and salt oil concentrations to draw toxins through the skin for ultimate rejuvenation).

Enjoy the soft warm sand under your feet as you explore the long golden beach.

Oh and did I mention the magnificent private gardens, breath work, organically grown raw food breakfasts and lunches with zero mileage, the best life changing conversations and free time in the evening to explore various restaurants? (Note that my wish for you is to truly relax, to feel ridiculously good, outrageously happy and...to avoid uncomfortable detox symptoms, so because most of us aren't used to a raw food cuisine 24/7, we recommend that you stick to a familiar diet at dinner.)

Prices for 5 nights including all of the above start at EURO €1,845. (Approx £1,625).
