ISLAND RETREATS
AUGUST
WOMEN'S WEEKEND RETREAT
AT KAPUHALA
THE VENUE
Tucked away in the lush greenery of Koh Samui, Kapuhala is a peaceful sanctuary just above the island’s lively energy.
Here, food, nature, and wellness are the focus, creating a space designed for relaxation and rejuvenation. We will enjoy delicious plant-based dishes at Halapua restaurant, with stunning sea views by the infinity pool. The accommodations, from airy farmhouses to safari-style tented villas, offer a quiet escape surrounded by nature. With beautiful spaces for yoga and fitness, plus a sauna and ice bath, Kapuhala is the perfect setting for our 7-day retreat.
RETREAT FLOW
Day 1: Arrive (settle into the space, ground, and connect)
Day 2: Release (let go, surrender, and soften)
Day 3: Expand (open your heart, breath, and perspective)
Day 4: Embody (step into alignment and inner power)
Day 5: Express (move, create, and be seen)
Day 6: Integrate (weave insights, rest, and harmonize)
Day 7: Emerge (honor transformation and step forward)
You deserve the time and space to reconnect with yourself, with nature, and with a supportive community of like-minded women.

Growing up surrounded by nature in Maine, Maeve developed a lifelong connection to the outdoors and a fascination with movement in all forms. Her curiosity about how the mind and body influence one another led her to study Biochemistry at university.
Seeking a new way of living after graduation, Maeve moved to Thailand and was completely captivated by its vibrant culture, language, and breathtaking landscapes. Immersing herself in Buddhist philosophy, meditation, and mindfulness practices, she later discovered flow arts, breathwork and somatic experiencing—modalities that felt like the perfect synthesis of her passions.
