About

 

It was summer of 2015 when I felt a deep urge to shake up my life. I found myself living a life that wasn't what I truly wanted. I realized I had never asked myself, “what do I want?” and I felt pulled to soul-search. I needed space to get away and hear myself. I wanted to re-connect… to myself, to God/Universe and to other people who were also on a similar journey. I’d been learning so much about personal growth and manifestation that I wanted to share what I learned with others too. So I put together a weekend with a small group of friends to teach what I’d been learning. I found a house, hired a private chef and a yoga teacher. I figured that I would create the best possible atmosphere to be able to truly reflect from a clear place. My prayer was that manifestation was real - that I really could change my life. This retreat was meant to be a catalyst for the transformation I was craving. And thus - Soulcation was born.

The retreat was filled with everything that my soul needs and all the guest said the same. Inspiration and reflection expanded us. Friendships were formed. Beautiful meals were shared. Conversations had around a beach bonfire with wine filled us. We were able to bring lightness into our life and just enjoy life that weekend. We all came back inspired and ready to create and start a new chapter.  The weekend marked the beginning of something beyond a retreat… taking time for a Soulcation became a required part of people’s life - ensuring you are always reflecting and steering in the direction you want to go. 

We hosted 6 retreats and grew as a Soulcation family. After a 2 year pause during the pandemic, I'm so proud to say that we're back and stronger than ever. The need for community, inspiration, travel, reflection, relaxation and healing has never been more important. Our desire to reconnect to ourselves, our spirituality and each other is now calling felt by people around the world. 

Each person that comes in this retreat becomes part of a family. The experience of going through a weekend together, immersed in new practices, meaningful conversation and reflection changes you on a deep level and creates bonds that don't otherwise exist. 

It's my deepest honor to lead and guide these retreats. If you've already been, I am so grateful for you and I hope you continue to come for the rest of your life. And if you haven’t been yet, I can't wait to see you at the next.

Love,
Laina
