What is the Weaver Wellbeing Retreat?
Weaver Retreat is an intimate, women-only yoga retreat rooted in the wild beauty of Kenya. We blend daily yoga and meditation with authentic Kenyan experiences — from mornings walking in the giraffe sanctuary in Nairobi to afternoons exploring the ancient streets of Lamu. This is not a passive wellness holiday. It is an invitation to move, explore, breathe, and come home to yourself.
We are a small group of 8 to 12 women, which means every experience is personal, every space is held with care, and every moment is intentional.
The Experience Includes:
• Daily yoga and meditation
• Sound healing and mindfulness workshops
• Lamu Yoga Festival (5 days)
• All meals included
• Morning and evening practice with opening ceremony
• Women's sharing circles
• Adventure and exploration of Nairobi
• Group of 8–12 women
