This small group retreat invites up to 10 women to slow down, immerse fully in the richness of Cuban culture, and rediscover the best parts of yourself. Inhale. Exhale. We will divide our time between the Valleys of Viñales and Old Havana.
Viñales
Welcome to Viñales, Cuba—nestled between rolling green hills and tranquil tobacco fields, where each sunrise invites a new beginning and every moment encourages deep self-reflection. Imagine waking up to the smell of fresh coffee and the sounds of the Valley as you nurture your spirit and reconnect with the best parts of yourself. Here, amid the gentle rhythms of nature and the warmth of local culture, you’ll find space to rediscover who you are when you have enough room to breathe. Inhale. Exhale.
Havana
Step into the vibrant cityscape of Havana, where history and passion intertwine to create a truly enchanting experience. You’ll be surrounded by colorful colonial architecture and the rhythmic pulse of Cuban music. You’ll find yourself immersed in a city brimming with creativity and charm. The lively streets and open-hearted locals will inspire you as you savor the rich tapestry of Havana’s dynamic energy. The spirit of Havana calls you to embrace the joy of living fully.
10% of proceeds for this retreat will be donated to women’s community organizations in Cuba. This itinerary is fully in compliance with US requirements for travel to Cuba under the category Support for the Cuban People.
