SLOW LIVING

We offer week-long immersions nestled in a Mediterranean paradise, designed for you to reconnect with your authentic self and take a soul level transformation.

Our Slow Living Retreats invite you to take a sacred pause and enter into a journey of self-enquiry, connection, embodiment, radical truth and liberation. Are you ready to truly slow down, remove the armour around your heart, let yourself be seen in your true expression and be held by others? Our Samudra community provides this safe and sacred space, for you to gather alongside like-minded individuals and take this transformational journey.

SAMUDRA EXPERIENCE

SELF-ENQUIRY

Your retreat includes three individual therapies specifically designed for your unique healing journey. Our facilitators will create a nurturing 1:1 container with you to journey deep into your own self. We are all carrying trauma that is trapped within our body, mind and energy that prevents us from being in our true self.  To access the whole self your three therapies will include bodywork (massage/somatic healing), energy work (shamanic healing/reiki), subconscious healing (tarot/access bars.)

CONNECTION

We are designed as human beings to experience intimacy and connection. It is through relating with one another that our healing journey deepens. Here at Samudra we bring you back to the roots of the human experience - sharing, learning and creating together. When you join a retreat at Samudra you become part of our community, our tribe, our family. Through telling our stories in safe spaces and being held in our authentic expression we are able to co-create a peaceful life for all of us. 

EMBODIMENT

Slow Living is an invitation to get out of the mind and into the body, into the breath, down deep into the heart. To connect back with your true self - the only way is in. We need to feel, express and move what has been suppressed inside in order to heal and move forward. We will guide you back to this place of presence through embodiment practices of yoga, chi gong, breathwork, dance, sound healing, emotional release, nidra, cacao ceremony and voice circles.

GOZO ISLAND

Just off the coast of the north of Malta, Gozo is a tiny Mediterranean paradise. Our Samudra sanctuary is located in the lazy south-coast village of il-Qala in our 400+ year old farmhouses. Between the farmhouses sits our Samudra Shala with our sacred underground healing cave.

OUR COMMUNITY

Our Samudra Community is group of like-minded individuals from different corners of the world, living on the island of Gozo. It is through community that we can learn, grow and expand deeper.

Our mission is to provide a safe space to rest, reflect and nurture ourselves so we can return to stability, presence and stillness. From this place we can face our deep-rooted anxieties and fears, question old belief-systems and expand our awareness. Through transformational therapies, practices and rituals we can integrate knowledge into our body and access expansive states of consciousness. 

SAMUDRA STORIES

  • I decided to start the year with a Spiritual Retreat. What better way to align the mind, body and soul? I knew I wanted a place that offered a variety of modalities especially the soul component. Samudra delivered that in ways that were beyond my expectations. Massage, Reiki, yoga (on the beach), sound bathing with a Shaman and so much more. I felt surrounded and supported by love, compassion and understanding and it was an experience I will hold in my heart forever. This is not a one time experience though. The insights and the clearing of emotional pain is an ongoing journey so I will be returning very soon.

    Caroline, U.K, Jan 2025

  • I needed a retreat because I had zero energy and personal emotions and was drained mentally and physically. I looked through 100’s of retreats and this is the one that spoke to me the most. Just going was completely out of my comfort zone, so that in itself was an accomplishment. However, participating in activities was also a big achievement as I had never done anything like this. If you are hesitant for any reason, please be reassured that you will be made to feel welcome and at peace, and nothing negative will come from your decision to go to Samudra Retreat. It is highly recommended.

    Ross, U.K, November 2024

  • My experience at Samudra was life changing. I am so grateful for the time and space to go inward that the retreat and hosts provided. Every element of the experience was beautifully crafted, and the inclusion of multiple healing modalities and practitioners was incredible for the mind, body and soul. Thank you for creating such a warm, safe and healing place - I am forever grateful to the Samudra Family.

    Melanie, USA. June 2024

  • Samudra Retreat is a very special place. The team are very welcoming and the attention to detail to ensure each guest gets the most out of all that is on offer is fabulous. Everything from the delicious food to the carefully thought out therapies ensure that your time in Gozo is healing and wonderful. I travelled alone but the balance of time to yourself and with others is perfect, I loved the structure to the days coupled with free time to swim or simply relax. The Island is very peaceful. A truly restorative retreat. You will not be disappointed.

    Lisa, U.K, October 2024

  • I am short of words to describe my experience in Samudra. I went to the retreat alone, slightly anxious and hesitant. I left the retreat with a peaceful mind, rested, joyful, excited about life and last but not least with friends for life from all over the world. Mila, Luca and Jade are truly wonderful and I felt at home from the first moment. Alone time, treatments and community time were in perfect balance. The food looked beautiful, tasted great and was really fulfilling. Im truly grateful to myself for going there and to the people of Samudra for being there. I have recommended Samudra to all of my friends by now and I recommend it to you dear reader. There is a magic in Samudra that cannot be put into words, only experienced!

    - Ann Turan, Estonia, July 2024

  • I had a wonderful time at Samudra! The hosts are very welcoming and it’s also a super personalised retreat. Really enjoyed practicing yoga at the beach almost every day. Plus the nature surrounding the retreat centre is stunning. Recommended!

    Hannah, Netherlands. April 2024

  • I searched for more than 'just' a yoga retreat, and wanted a bit of luxury, and found the perfect retreat for me with many activities and still, lots of private time. The entire program was unbelievable, and very much appreciated! I feel like I've grown personally and spiritually in more ways than I could have imagined. I feel lighter and brighter and genuinely happier, like a huge load has been lifted from my shoulders. Like I can enjoy life again, and not be so overworked, worried, and down. I gained clarity, learned a ton about myself and others. It was an absolutely amazing experience. The hosts of this retreat were absolutely incredible! They took care of us as if we were friends and family. If I had to describe this retreat in 2 words, it'd be HIGH QUALITY.

    Jessica, USA. April 2024

  • Of the 30+ retreats I researched across Europe, this one felt the most personal and authentic. It was exactly what I was looking for. It was the perfect blend of activities mixed with alone time for reflection, wonderful conversation, and beautiful nature.

    Megan, USA. May 2023

  • This retreat had the perfect balance of quiet and connection with others. It was a very authentic retreat, and the leaders, Luca, Jade, and Mila, are such beautiful souls. The retreat had a 'family' feel, and this was something that I really appreciated. Despite being in different parts of the world, I made some new 'soul' friends I know I will remain connected with. I plan on returning next year for my annual retreat.

    Danielle, Hong Kong. July, 2023.

  • Hands down the best decision I have ever made for myself in this existence. In just one week, this retreat has given me the power to change my life. It is truly a mind-blowingly magical, enlightening, healing, and transformational experience from start to finish, but doesn’t end there… Thank you, Samudra Family, for holding such a special space for me. I will be eternally grateful.

    Amanda, St Louis. July, 2023.

  • Magical & transformational -you will never be the same again. When it comes to describing this retreat, I am almost lost for words. I get emotional just thinking about it. This retreat has been designed with so much love, heart and soul and is not to be missed.

    Moon, UK, May 2023

  • Your retreat called me and I came. This has been the best gift I have ever had. That I have ever given myself. Thank you for sharing, for your teachings, your wisdom and your guidance.

    Stacey, UK January 2023

  • I am incredibly grateful for the wonderful retreat experience I had with all of you. It was truly life-changing, and I wanted to express my deepest gratitude for the love, support, and wisdom you shared with me.

    Aneta , Poland, April 2023

  • I didn’t know what to expect when I booked the retreat and my main goal was to reduce the anxiety. The experience has been so much more than I imagined. True self discovery journey, going really deep and the transformation I felt at the end was amazing. You learn so much about yourself, your emotions, hidden traumas, your fears but also work on letting all the negativity and stress leave your body, deep relaxation, cleansing, working on your mind, body and emotions. I loved the individual approach, great organisation, wonderful healers but also fantastic healthy food! I’m definitely going back 🥰 Thank you Samudra Team 🙏
