PUERTO RICO RETREAT

This retreat is located in Apopka, FL. For this retreat, we have reserved an entire campground to ensure peace, tranquility, and privacy. At the end of a short country road, you will arrive to see your whimsical teepee awaiting you.

At night, you'll hear the crackling of a campfire while you eat s'mores before winding down for bed. In the country, you're bid goodnight by a spectacular sunset before being wrapped in a blanket of stars in the wide open sky.

In the morning, you will wake to the chirping of birds and fresh coffee delivered to your own personal teepee.

For our water activities, we will float down the pristine, clear waters of Rock springs where you will see an array of wild birds, otters, and even fish, as well as marine plant life.

We have the luxury of disconnecting from our devices and regular lives to immerse ourselves in nature during this retreat.

You're invited to embrace every gift that mother Earth has to offer, from the butterflies to the rain showers- you are gifted the lesson in it all.

We will be visiting Crete, Greece for this retreat. Crete is the largest of the Greek Islands, about the size of Delaware. We will be staying on the outskirts of Chania, pronounced "Hon-yuh," in the village of Pyrgos Psilonerou.

Daphinis Villas consists of four modern villas focusing on comfort and luxury with a 315 sq ft pool in the middle. Our villa is only 500 feet from a lovely sandy beach lined by a few beach taverns to keep your body nourished.

Pyrgos Psilonerou is a quiet beach and small village in the Chania Prefecture on the island of Crete, Greece. It's located between Gerani and Maleme, near tourist facilities but still maintains a relaxed atmosphere. The beach is known for its clear, deep water is an important breeding habitat for endangered Caretta-Caretta sea turtles, so visitors are advised to respect their nests.

Our goal is to handle the details, so you can focus on enjoying your trip. Let us know if you need any more help with your flight arrangements or any other part of your trip planning!

In Whitneys experience, there are direct flights from Atlanta (ATL) and New York (JFK) into Athens. From Athens, you will fly into Chania. It is important to make sure that you have time between connecting flights on the return home, as it is common for Greek airports to be slightly delayed.

The airport in Athens is pretty small, similar to the Sanford Airport. The airport in Chania is comparable to the Daytona Beach airport, and is very small.

Inside your cozy teepee, you'll discover battery-operated lights and a fan to enhance your comfort. Additionally, a portable battery pack is available for you to keep your phone or watch charged and ready. Please note, there is just one main outlet in the area, and it's primarily reserved for cooking and essential operations.

This retreat is designed to help you unplug from the digital world and reconnect with both nature and yourself. We encourage you to embrace this opportunity to step away from constant connectivity and immerse yourself in the tranquil surroundings and personal reflection.

In May, the weather in Crete is generally warm and pleasant, making it an ideal time to visit the island. The average temperature ranges from about 63°F at night to around 75°F during the day. You can expect plenty of sunshine, with around 10 to 12 hours of daylight and minimal rainfall, as May is typically one of the drier months. The sea temperature is also warming up, usually reaching around 66°F, which is cool but comfortable for swimming. Overall, it's a great time to enjoy outdoor activities and explore the island without the intense summer heat or the large crowds of peak tourist season.

We recommend flying into one of the airports listed below and then using a car service such as Uber or Lyft to complete your travel to the retreat or rent a car.

Airports:

• Orlando International Airport (MCO)

• Orlando Sanford International Airport (SFB)

• Daytona Beach Internatioanl Airport (DAB)

​​Please note that guests are responsible for making their own way to and from the retreat, this is not included in the price.

We will provide an exact address at the time of booking. This retreat will be held in Apopka, Florida, about 30 minutes from Orlando.

Traveling responsibly in Greece involves being mindful of local customs, environmental preservation, and cultural sensitivities, all of which contribute to a respectful and enriching experience.

Learning a few basic phrases in Greek, if possible, can significantly enhance your interaction with local residents, as it demonstrates respect and effort to engage with their culture. Simple words like "please" (parakaló) and "thank you" (efcharistó or "F-cha-ree-stow") can go a long way.

Maintain sensitivity towards environmental conservation by minimizing waste and avoiding single-use plastics during your stay. Paper or feminine products do not go in the toilet.

Tipping in Greece is much different than America. Cafes, Bars, Taxis generally expect you to round up to the next Euro. Tour Guides are 10%. Housekeepers are 1-2 Euros.

By embracing these practices, you contribute positively to the local community and environment, ensuring a mutually respectful and enjoyable experience for both visitors and hosts.

While we do our best to hold our retreats rain or shine in order to offer guests the full experience of Earth's elements, we must always put safety first.

With that being said, we do recommend travel insurance in the event of dangerous weather. We aim to notify our guests of cancellations at least four days in advance but also recognize that in Florida, severe weather can develop more quickly.

Yoga Elements Retreats will refund 100% of what you have paid to us directly. If you book through a third party company, please be advised of their policies. We do not receive deposits from these companies until after retreats are finished, so we have no control on their decisions.

January typically doesn't bring weather that poses as a threat to our retreats.

We love that you're here to enjoy the beautiful natural surroundings, and we have a small favor to ask to keep it pristine. Please help us leave no trace that we were here. That means picking up all your trash and making sure nothing is left behind.

Also, while it's tempting to get close to wildlife or feed the animals for that perfect photo op, we really need to respect their space and keep a safe distance. This helps keep both you and the animals safe and ensures that nature remains undisturbed. Thanks for helping us maintain the beauty and integrity of this special place!

Outlets in Greece are different than those in the US. Greece uses Type C (Europlug) plugs.

You can purchase a plug adapter on amazon. Look for a Type C or Type F adapter.

Situated in the beautiful and peaceful Interlachen, FL, Sunshine + Sisterhood Women’s Summer Camp offers a charming lakefront getaway under the cooling embrace of ancient oak trees.

The camp boasts thoughtfully created spaces such as a yoga shala, ideal for finding your inner peace or engaging in physical wellness. Adding to the leisure options are a conventional and a floating dock on the lake — perfect spots for various activities or to simply unwind and take in the scenic views from dusk till dawn.

Here at Sunshine + Sisterhood, every part of our camp from the soothing lake breezes to the social activities available, is designed to enhance your connection with nature and promote restful rejuvenation. It’s your perfect spot to step away from the daily hustle and truly relax amidst nature’s beauty.

While planning your trip, one important aspect to consider is securing travel insurance. Although we do not provide travel insurance services ourselves, we highly recommend that every traveler consider purchasing a comprehensive policy. Travel insurance can offer peace of mind by covering unforeseen medical expenses, trip cancellations, lost luggage, and other potential disruptions that might occur during your journey. Even the most well-planned trip can encounter unexpected challenges, and having travel insurance ensures that you are protected financially against these uncertainties. We suggest comparing different policies to find one that best suits your needs, taking into account factors such as coverage limits, deductibles, and inclusions specific to the nature of your trip to Peru. Remember, it's always better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.

Florida, famously known as the Sunshine State, really shines in June, especially in Interlachen where the lake reflects the bright, clear skies. The weather is comfortably warm, with temperatures generally hovering between the high 70s and low 90s Fahrenheit, perfect for enjoying outdoor activities or a relaxing day by the water.

We've supplied plenty of sunscreen for your convenience. Be sure to apply a generous amount before going out to soak up the sun or engage in fun activities lakeside.

We're here to help make your travel to and from Cusco as smooth as possible. We recommend booking evening flights departing on September 23rd, so everyone can arrive in Cusco around 8 AM on the 24th. We can assist with booking these flights to ensure that everyone arrives and departs around the same times, making it easier for us to coordinate airport transfers and maximize our time together.

Once you land in Cusco on the 24th, our driver will be waiting for you outside baggage claim, holding a sign for easy identification. This way, we can kick off our retreat right away without any delays. For your convenience, we'll arrange a similar setup for your departure on September 29th.

Cusco to Urubamba is approximately 57 kilometers (about 35 miles) by road. Typically, it takes around 1 to 1.5 hours to travel this distance by car, depending on traffic conditions and the specific route taken. This route through the Sacred Valley is quite scenic, offering beautiful views of the Andes and the rural landscapes of Peru.

Our goal is to handle the details, so you can focus on enjoying your trip. Let me know if you need any more help with your flight arrangements or any other part of your trip planning!

In September, the weather in Casca, situated in Peru's Sacred Valley, transitions from cool to moderately warm temperatures. During this month, daytime temperatures typically range between 66-75°F, while cooler nights see temperatures dropping to between 41-48°F. Being at the tail end of the dry season, September experiences little rainfall with predominantly clear, sunny days, though you may encounter occasional pre-seasonal showers as October approaches. Additionally, the days start to lengthen in September, with earlier sunrises and later sunsets, which provides ample daylight for engaging in various outdoor activities.

Traveling responsibly in Casca and the broader Sacred Valley region involves being mindful of local customs, environmental preservation, and cultural sensitivities, all of which contribute to a respectful and enriching experience. Women travelers, in particular, should consider dressing modestly in alignment with the conservative nature of rural Peruvian areas. Clothing that covers the shoulders and knees, such as long skirts or trousers paired with modest tops, is generally recommended. This not only shows respect for the local culture but also aligns with the expectations of many communities you might visit.

Additionally, learning a few basic phrases in Spanish or even Quechua, if possible, can significantly enhance your interaction with local residents, as it demonstrates respect and effort to engage with their culture. When visiting sacred sites or community spaces, always ask permission before taking photographs, especially of local people, to maintain their privacy and dignity. Maintain sensitivity towards environmental conservation by minimizing waste and avoiding single-use plastics during your stay. By embracing these practices, you contribute positively to the local community and environment, ensuring a mutually respectful and enjoyable experience for both visitors and hosts.

When traveling from the USA to Cusco, Peru, it's essential to prepare for differences in electrical outlets and voltage. In Peru, the standard voltage is 220 V, significantly higher than the 120 V commonly used in the United States. This difference means that any electrical devices you bring may require a voltage converter to function properly without damage.

Additionally, Peruvian outlets typically accept plugs with two round pins (Type C) or three flat blade pins (Type B), which are different from the standard two flat prong plugs (Type A) used in the U.S.

To ensure smooth usage of your electronic devices, it would be wise to invest in both a voltage converter and a plug adapter before your trip. These accessories are readily available in most electronics stores or online and will help you avoid any inconveniences during your stay in Cusco, allowing you to enjoy your trip without worrying about charging issues. Taking this simple step can make a big difference in keeping your gadgets powered up and functional throughout your journey.

Before you jet off to the stunning landscapes of Peru, it’s crucial to square away your health essentials. Altitude sickness can really dampen your experience in high-altitude areas like Cusco and Machu Picchu, so consider discussing altitude sickness medications, such as Acetazolamide, with your healthcare provider. These can help mitigate symptoms and make your acclimation much smoother.

Also, update those routine vaccinations! Depending on where your adventures take you, consider vaccinations for Hepatitis A and Typhoid, as these can be contracted through contaminated food or water. A bit of prep will go a long way in ensuring you enjoy every moment of your Peruvian journey without health worries cramping your style.

If you don't have a healthcare provider, we have partnered again with Lotus Elite Care to provide cash pay options for retreat guest. Rachel M. Daily, DNP, APRN, FNP-BC will be happy to provide a Telehealth screening to best help you prepare for your trip with altitude sickness medications, as well as any vaccines that may be needed. Appointments can be scheduled at lotuselitecare.com and be sure to mention Yoga Elements & Retreats.

While planning your trip, one important aspect to consider is securing travel insurance. Although we do not provide travel insurance services ourselves, we highly recommend that every traveler consider purchasing a comprehensive policy. Travel insurance can offer peace of mind by covering unforeseen medical expenses, trip cancellations, lost luggage, and other potential disruptions that might occur during your journey.

We suggest comparing different policies to find one that best suits your needs, taking into account factors such as coverage limits, deductibles, and inclusions specific to the nature of your trip to Peru. Remember, it's always better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.

This retreat is located in Bunnell, FL about 30 minutes North of Daytona Beach and 30 minutes South of St. Augustine. Country roads lead you to a picturesque horse ranch with beautiful stables and vast pastures. For this retreat, we are nestled behind the woodline, away from the main stables to ensure peace, tranquility, and privacy.

At night, you'll hear the crackling of a campfire while you eat s'mores before winding down for bed. In the country, you're bid goodnight by a spectacular sunset before being wrapped in a blanket of stars in the wide open sky.

In the morning, you will wake to the chirping of birds and fresh coffee or hot tea delivered to your own personal teepee.

For our water activities, we will enjoy stand up paddle boarding along Emeralds Cut, no experience necessary in this knee deep, clear spring water.

We have the luxury of disconnecting from our devices and regular lives to immerse ourselves in nature during this retreat.

We will provide an exact address 2-3 weeks before your retreat start date in order to maintain guest safety and privacy. This retreat will be held in Bunnell, Florida, about 30 minutes from Daytona Beach.

While we do our best to hold our retreats rain or shine in order to offer guests the full experience of Earth's elements, we must always put safety first.

With that being said, we do recommend travel insurance in the event of dangerous weather. We aim to notify our guests of cancellations at least four days in advance but also recognize that in Florida, severe weather can develop quickly.

Yoga Elements & Retreats will refund 100% of what you have paid to us directly if WE cancel the retreat. If you book through a third party company, please be advised of their policies. We do not receive deposits from these companies until after retreats are finished, so we have no control on their decisions.

January typically doesn't bring weather that poses as a threat to our retreats though light rain may be experienced. If this will affect your experience, please protect your purchase with travel insurance as our retreats are held rain or shine.

If you are interested in travel insurance but don't know where to look, please contact us to be connected to an advisor. Plans begin at around $100 and must be booked within 14 days of your booking.

We love that you're here to enjoy the beautiful natural surroundings, and we have a small favor to ask to keep it pristine. Please help us leave no trace that we were here. That means picking up all your trash and making sure nothing is left behind.

Also, while it's tempting to get close to wildlife or feed the animals for that perfect photo op, we really need to respect their space and keep a safe distance. This helps keep both you and the animals safe and ensures that nature remains undisturbed. Thanks for helping us maintain the beauty and integrity of this special place!
