There are moments in life when you pause and realize something inside you has shifted. That’s exactly what happened for the beautiful souls who joined us on our recent Wellness Retreat in Cuba. What started as a gathering of strangers quickly blossomed into a tribe of new friends — from all walks of life, ages, and backgrounds — sharing laughter, tears, deep healing, and unforgettable memories under the Cuban sun.
Here are the voices and sentiments from our vibrant group of participants — real stories that capture the heart of this powerful journey.
“This group is a true testimony that the world is filled with amazing humans ready to love and connect.”
– Jocy, Retreat Organizer
As the retreat came to a close, what lingered most wasn’t just the beauty of Cayo Santa Maria or the powerful healing sessions — it was the deep, unexpected connection. Many participants described feeling like they had known each other for years. “We come back with lots of great memories,” said Magui, co-organizer, “and a new group of friends.”
“It was such a heart-opening experience. Blessed that the universe put together such a great group.”
– Tina, participant
Time and again, we heard the same reflection: this retreat was more than a trip — it was a spiritual homecoming. People shared how they opened up in ways they hadn’t in years, releasing old fears and welcoming in new joy. One participant shared I thought that brought out my tears. He said: “I’ve always had trouble opening up. But here… I danced, I laughed, I cried. And for the first time in a long time, I felt seen. I felt safe.”
“Dancing, singing, drinking, swimming, and eating… the fun was endless.”
This sentiment was also was shared again and again! This retreat wasn’t just about meditations and journaling — although there was plenty of that too. The retreat flowed with rhythm and spontaneity. There were late-night dance sessions, impromptu jammings, drumming circles, Cuban mojitos under the stars, and soulful conversations on the beach. It was a celebration of life in all its colors.
“The magic wasn’t just in the program. The magic was us.”
– Jocy, Organizer
The program offered grounding practices like sound healing, second chakra activation, meditation, group sharing circles, and even oracle card readings. But what made it truly unforgettable was the way each person showed up with their heart.
Cathy said it beautifully: “Special shoutout to Jocy and Magui for making this happen! I know it takes a lot of organizing behind the scenes and it is greatly appreciated! To many more.” 🥂
“We had a blast! It’s hard to come back to reality.”
– Ilana & Felix
The sentiment was unanimous — no one wanted it to end. From birthday celebrations to spontaneous group songs like “Clap Clap, Snap,” participants found joy in the little things. Brigitte even created a musical composition inspired by the retreat experience:
“It was magical how the right samples came together, just like the right people came together and created harmony.”
“Thank you for the love, the hugs, the guidance. This experience will be cherished forever.”
Said Melito – a Retreat guest
The gratitude shared post-retreat was overwhelming. One participant wrote:
“How incredible it is to have a group of individuals from varied backgrounds, strangers (at first), migrating towards each other, all with a single purpose: wellness.”
It was a reminder that in the right space, with the right intentions, strangers can become family. And that’s exactly what happened in Cuba.
