Caribbean Island Retreat
sacred dreamers' Yoga retreat
Awaken Your Inner Wisdom:
YOGA + ANIMAL WATCH + ISLAND HOP + SNORKEL
Hey beautiful soul! Has our mat ever felt like a magic carpet and savasana is a portal to other realms? Have you ever felt the whispers of possibility just beneath the surface of your everyday? Do you sense a deeper knowing waiting to be unveiled?! Sacred Dreamers Yoga Retreat is a gentle and transformative escape designed to help you tap into your inner wisdom, nurture your deepest aspirations, and embrace the sacredness of your unique journey.
This retreat is an invitation to slow down, listen to the quiet voice within, and cultivate the fertile ground where your dreams can blossom. A perfect way to start the year with a group of amazing women!
Imagine a sanctuary where each breath is an invitation to deeper presence, each movement a gentle unfolding of your inner landscape. Over five blissful days and nights amidst Panama's lush rainforests in Bocas del Toro where tranquility meets the shimmering shoreline, you'll be guided through practices that gently weave together: energizing flows perfect for all levels, dreamlike yoga nidra, intuitive exploration and journal prompts, sacred stillness, connections with like-minded + hearted women, nourishing meals, and natures embrace.
You'll wake up to the gentle sounds of the sea in your over-the-water bungalow, with breathtaking views of the sunrise painting the sky. Step outside onto pristine white sands that meet Caribbean turquoise waters, inviting you to immerse yourself in the beauty of our natural surroundings. The water, a comfortable 82 degrees year-round, offers some of the best snorkeling in the world, allowing you to explore the vibrant underwater world of this protected marine sanctuary. As the day draws to a close, you'll be treated to equally stunning sunset views, a perfect backdrop for reflection and gratitude.
This is more than just a yoga retreat; it's an opportunity to awaken the sacred dreamer within you, to honor your unique path, and to return home feeling refreshed, inspired, and deeply connected to your own inner wisdom.

WHY THIS RETREAT?
Because you are ready to gently float into a world of inner wonder! Think cozy vibes, stretches that feel like a sigh of relief, and a chance to tap into that quiet knowing that whispers in your heart (and sometimes in those sleepy moments!).
This isn't about decoding cryptic dream symbols (unless you want to!), but about creating space to:
Unfurl like a lotus in gentle yoga flows. Perfect for all levels, from "I can touch my toes sometimes" to seasoned yogis.
Melt into delicious Yin & Restorative poses that feel like a warm hug for your soul. Prepare for ultimate unwind to your day!
Dive into the dreamy depths of Yoga Nidra and let your subconscious have a little spa day.
Play with creative workshops that might involve journaling your inner musings or crafting a vision for your brightest dreams (no glitter allergies allowed... unless you bring your own!).
Connect with a community of fellow dreamers – kindred spirits who also believe in the magic within.
Nourish yourself with yummy food that makes your body sing happy little songs.
Bask in a setting so peaceful, even your thoughts will take a chill pill.
Basically, it's a chance to press pause on the everyday hustle, listen to the whispers of your intuition, and maybe even have some seriously good naps over the turquoise waters.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
Questions
DO I NEED TRAVEL/MEDICAL
INSURANCE?
WHAT IF I'M TRAVELING SOLO?
No problem! Donna will match you with a compatible solo traveler with whom you are comfortable. Prefer a private space? Private accommodations may be available at additional cost.
CAN I BOOK WITH A FRIEND?
Absolutely! We have shared room accommodations that can sleep 2 people per room. Please send me a note if you are booking with a friend and I will make sure you are placed in the same accommodation!
I cannot emphasize more the importance of travel insurance. As we all know, especially as travelers, “life happens.” Whether it’s family, work, mother nature, or a change of heart, it is important to be prepared in case you need to unexpectedly change your travel plans. Often for less than $150, you can purchase a travel insurance policy and be protected in the event that you need to make a change or need to be covered financially prior to or during your trip. Travel and medical insurance are both highly recommended. Most health insurance companies will not cover out of country expenses.
I have used Allianz Travel Insurance for both domestic and international insurance. Another option for price comparison is Travel Insurance. Ask questions and do research to find the best option for you.

You may use this link for Travel.State.Gov for US guidance and research for the lates rules on what is required to enter the country, depending upon where you are coming from.
ANY THOUGHTS ON JOINING A RETREAT BY MYSELF IF I'VE NEVER DONE IT BEFORE?
I went on my first ever retreat knowing no one except for the retreat leader and had the most incredible experience. I loved having the space to meet new people and also spend quality time with myself in whatever way felt nourishing moment to moment. I was placed in a shared room with another woman who started as a kind stranger and quickly became a close friend by the end of the retreat. If you’re feeling called, I can’t recommend a solo experience enough!
WILL THERE BE FREE TIME?
Absolutely!
Aside from our daily practices, the rest of the day can be spent however your heart desires. Whether you’re looking to spend time relaxing, reading a book, treating yourself to a massage or enjoying a local experience, there is something for whatever you need. Optional excursion opportunities will be sent to registered guests.

E-RYT200 | YACEP | REIKI MASTER | ASTROLOGER
Founder + Owner Dragonfly Yoga Retreats & The Yoga Loft
I began my yoga practice almost 2 decades ago. The inward journey led me to my dream of being a yoga teacher and studio owner so that others may have that same experience. With over 2000 registered teaching and retreat hours, I enjoy teaching Vinyasa, Restorative/Yin and Meditation class styles. I have a passion for bringing women together for friendship and connection. Join me for an incredible week of connecting, laughter, fun and leaning into going with the flow (this is more than what it may sound like-join me to find out more!) as you unwind, unplug, reset, and enjoy everything this jungle paradise has to offer.
In a world filled with distractions and demands, yoga and mindfulness are great ways to hit pause, pay attention and return to the present moment by focusing on what is directly in front of us. The only moment that exists. With journal workshops sprinkled in our time together you may find it easy to get clear on what is important for you to create in your life and sink into your new year intentions.
In addition to leading retreats Internationally and in the US, I own a yoga studio in WI, am a Reiki Master, Astrologer, lead private events for local businesses and teach weekly classes. Building and staying connected to the community is something I'm incredibly passionate about. Curating this experience for you brings me joy. Retreats like this are immersive and transformative in the most beautiful ways. Being a part of your experience is such a gift.
