Kalumi Retreats Presents: A Women's Wellness Weekend in South Tenerife, 9–11 October

If you've been waiting for permission to put yourself first, this is it. From Friday 9th to Sunday 11th October, I'm hosting a small, women-only wellness weekend in South Tenerife with Kalumi Retreats - just twelve of us, fifteen minutes from Tenerife South Airport, with three days set aside to breathe, move, and come back to yourself. Every session is built for all levels, from yoga and Reiki to journaling and self-reflection, so it doesn't matter if you practise daily or you've never rolled out a mat. In this guide, I'll walk you through exactly what the weekend includes, what it costs, who it's for, and how the before-and-after care programme keeps your reset going long after you fly home.

What Is the Kalumi Retreats Women's Wellness Weekend?

This is a three-day, women-only wellness weekend I'm hosting personally with Kalumi Retreats in South Tenerife, built around movement, rest, and honest conversation. I rebuilt my own life through holistic healing and intentional self-leadership, and that experience shapes how this weekend is held - nothing performative, nothing rushed.

You'll be based at the Kalumi Retreats venue in South Tenerife, close enough to the coast to feel the sea air, but private enough that a group of twelve can properly settle in together. Every day blends yoga, relaxation, and Reiki with guided workshops, journaling and self-reflection, open time to rest, and closer one-to-one moments with me. It isn't a fitness bootcamp and it isn't a silent retreat - it sits somewhere between the two: structured enough to hold you, spacious enough to let you exhale.

If you know my reinvention story, you'll recognise the same philosophy running through this retreat.

Yoga, Reiki & Workshops for Every Level

Every session across the weekend is built for all levels, so your experience with yoga or Reiki doesn't matter - willingness does.

Mornings move through all-level yoga, relaxation, and Reiki, paced so a complete beginner and a longtime practitioner can be in the same room without either one holding back. Afternoons open into workshops, journaling, and self-reflection to inspire, learn, reflect, and grow - practical sessions that draw on the same skin, healing, and lifestyle pillars I work from in my one-to-one practice, adapted for a group setting.

There's a real physiological reason movement sits at the centre of this weekend. A 2026 systematic review of 30 randomised controlled trials involving 2,288 participants found that yoga practice measurably reduces stress, anxiety, and low mood (Frontiers in Psychology, published 26 February 2026). You don't need three days of intense practice to feel that - you need consistency, guidance, and a room where you're not comparing yourself to anyone else. That's what all-level really means here.

Why This Retreat Includes Before-and-After Care

A single weekend rarely creates lasting change on its own - what happens before and after matters just as much as the three days in between.

That's why this retreat comes with a before-and-after care programme: preparation guidance so you arrive ready rather than rushed, and integration support once you're home, so the calm doesn't evaporate the moment you're back at your desk. It's the same logic behind the Rise Method I use across all of my work - Empower, Elevate, Expand - because a reset that isn't followed through tends to fade within days.

Retreat-goers increasingly agree the weekend itself is only part of the story. In a late-2025 survey of over 1,000 US retreat-goers, 37% said mental health and wellbeing support was their main reason for booking, and more than half of those interested specifically in yoga retreats said improving mental health was the benefit they were seeking (BookRetreats, The State of Retreats 2026 Report, retrieved 5 August 2026). Care that stops at checkout on Sunday morning isn't built for that.

Why a Small, Women-Only Group Changes Everything

Capping this retreat at twelve women, with no men present, isn't incidental - it changes what people are willing to say out loud.

Women's retreats already outnumber men's by nearly six to one, and women remain the clear majority of retreat guests overall (BookRetreats, The State of Retreats 2026 Report, retrieved 5 August 2026) - evidence of how differently women use this kind of space. In a small, women-only group, conversations go somewhere they wouldn't in a mixed or larger setting: about burnout, ageing, motherhood, ambition, grief, whatever's actually present that weekend.

A group of twelve also means I can give real, individual attention rather than managing a crowd. If you've been putting your own needs last for your family, your career, or both, a small women-only space is often the first place it's safe to put them first again.

Is This Retreat Right for You?

This retreat is for you if you're a woman who wants to pause, reset, and be genuinely looked after for a weekend - regardless of your yoga or Reiki experience.

You don't need flexibility, fitness, or a consistent practice. You do need to be open to movement, group workshops, and honest conversation with other women you've likely never met before Friday. It's a good fit if you're craving rest but also structure - some guidance, not just a beach and a mat.

It's probably not the right weekend if you're looking for total solitude or a fully self-directed schedule. This is a held, guided experience, not a solo retreat.

Your Invitation to Rise

You don't need to have your life fully together to come on this retreat - you just need to be ready to stop deferring your own care. Three days, twelve women, South Tenerife, October 9th to 11th: all-level yoga, relaxation, and Reiki, workshops built to inspire, learn, reflect, and grow, and a before-and-after care programme so it doesn't end the moment you land back home.
