Soul Surfers Retreat Teaches
How to Master the Eb and Flow of Your Life WITHOUT Always Having to Catch the Perfect Wave
Called To Flow
It is our belief the ocean is calling you...
If you are looking to move from disconnection, anxiety, stress and overwhelm to magnetised physical & emotional wellbeing through the FUN and MINDFUL practice of surfing (surf therapy), then reading this page might be the most important decision you make for yourself right now. No matter if you are a beginner or an expert surfer.
You're about to learn about our EMBODIED therapeutic approach to elevate the spirit of your body, mind and soul in the most fun way you ever thought was possible.
Here is why:
During our retreat we are working with...
A NEW and POWERFUL SYSTEM for lost, disconnected, anxious, stressed, overwhelmed and exhausted ocean lovers and admirers to reconnect with their body, mind and soul
... so you can get back to your true nature and ride the waves of life with soulful rhythm, the serenity of ease and the unstoppable tide of flow.
BUT FIRST LET'S GET REAL. RIDING TRANSFORMATIONAL WAVES CAN BE DIFFICULT...
The system we use allows you to reconnect with your joie de vivre and playful 'inner child'...
This doesn't mean the 'small you' feels like showing up immediately. Perhaps it is too scared.
The truth is...it may take time for your inner child to ride the waves with you.
This journey takes courage and great risk, learning to listen to your body is hard, you may catch bad energy, your inner sea might be roaring, or your inner child is just angry and doesn't want to show up...so, if that scares you or you cannot except that, feel free to exit this wave of change now.
With that said, let me take you along for the ride and show you...
Aloha, I'm Sabine, founder and therapist at Surf Therapy Travel
HOW ON OCTOBER 14TH 1998 THE SEA BECAME MY CHURCH...
...And thought this is where I could heal my hurts. I had already felt ignited by the ocean. She had embraced me in the past. She comforted me and challenged me to be with my physical limits and emotions. However the 14th of October 1998 I hated the sea. Se had taken away my mother. She only lived for 7 more months after her first diagnosis.
Little did I know then that surfing would become my refuge. A place away from heart ache, fear of disease, hurt and pain. Until one morning in 2012 yet another heartbreak left my hypersensitive body and soul depressed, stressed, lonely, anxious and overwhelmed.
After numerous days of crying in bed, telling my work I could not make it and surfing and refuging in the ocean weren't enough anymore to heal my broken heart, I finally found my way to a friend. She saw the anxiety in my eyes because I felt abandoned...
The panic I experienced about yet another love story coming to an end made me relive my mums' death. She quickly directed me to a gestalt therapist. This time I listened. It was me who had to change as I longed for connection and I wanted to be able to regulate my emotions around love in a healthy way so fiercefully. It was finally time to heal my restless, broken heart caused by the death of my mother.
As the years passed and many more other small and bigger fears and hurts were addressed, I moved from being a gestalt therapists' client, to a gestalt therapy student.
The four years of experienced therapy learning, healing the void my mum left (believe me, I cried a lot!) and embarking on a body oriented Soul Coach training led me to believe that perhaps I had some love and connection to bring into this world too. I just wasn't sure about my signature though, until my friend's 6 year old son bluntly said over lunch: 'Sabine why don't you use surfing to help people too!?'
Since then lots of pieces fell together. The mission statement of Soul Surfers Foundation, which I founded in 2008, already mentioned overcoming trauma...
...I lived 300 meters from the sea, in a house with an extra room for bodywork practices and was trained as a surf instructor. I now knew that the deep blue was calling me, to use her and her sandy beaches as a (communal) healing space.
A place where the sheer joy of wave riding meets the thrill of releasing hurts so you can reconnect with and take care of yourself and the people you love. It is a place where you can get back in touch with your true nature!
That is why I would like to invite you to our Soul Surfers Retreat to experience our powerful and unique system called Soul Surfer's Solution...
STILL DOUBTING TO CATCH THIS WAVE? HERE"S WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT OUR SURF THERAPY RETREATS...
...And This Is Exactly What You're Getting
First let me say that this isn't your ordinary surf camp or retreat...
What you're about to learn has the potential to spark your biggest inner child's joy to date.
And it's MORE than sparking your your joy in life.
Our Soul Surfers Retreat uses a new, powerful and dynamic system called Soul Surfer's Solution, guiding you to more connection with yourself and the people you love through therapeutic interventions (e.g. bodywork, breathwork and EFT), psycho-education, reflection and (the metaphor of) surfing.
Whether you consider yourself a highly sensitive, anxious, stressed, perfectionistic or overwhelmed human-being, we've got your back!
If you are ready to reconnect with your true nature, and want to fire up your physical and emotional wellbeing with your feet firmly grounded (on a sandy beach or surfboard!) our approach will definitely bring waves of good.
Having that said, our experienced expert and professionally trained team showers you with love and kindness, so you feel the safety and space to grow and flow (again).
And as we are all equal during our retreat we can meet each other in joy, power AND vulnerability.
So, let the sea set you free!
Using the practices taught at our retreat, you’ll learn to flow with life’s tides, embrace the present moment, while cultivating a sense of belonging — not only to yourself but to a wider community.

* Sensitive ocean lover

If you want to realign with your true nature, explore the depths of your potential and tap into a source of lasting peace, this retreat is for you.
