A TROPICAL PARADISE
Escape to Playa Koralia, a coastline eco-resort outside of Santa Marta, Colombia, surrounded by lush palm trees, healing waters, the soaring Sierra Nevada mountains and all of the tropical beauty of this region. Rashia selected this location and property for it’s healing and grounding energy, as this area is a part of the sacred territory for the ancient Tayrona people. The Kogi’s, their descendants have indigenous communities that still reside in these lush mountains, so it is the perfect place to connect back to nature.
This retreat is about personal transformation, not to be confused with a yoga or fitness retreat.
This experience awakens all of the senses by surrounding yourself with nature’s tropical beauty, you shift your energetic pathways. The energetic transition is full of spiritual enlightenment, self-reflection & heart-centered healing, assisted by the power of crystal healing and Buddhist mindfulness practices.

RETREAT RAVES
“Eye -opening, relaxation, self-discovery and friendship are how I would describe the Tropical Transformation Retreat. It was such profound journey within myself…rediscovery of strength, a connection with Mother Earth and supportive friendships. All of these things make me feel so fortunate and remind me of how beautiful life is. What surprised me is that I got out of my comfort zone many times and actually, it was ok! This now allows me to take more risks in life.” - N.W.
“The Tropical Transformation retreat feels grounding, relaxing, energizing, and enlightening. I was looking to reconnect with my goddess energy, and take a step out of my life to reassess my priorities. There you are able to reconnect with your true purpose, to recalibrate your future, on your terms, and meet like minded people.” - C.S.
“Relaxing, enlightening, inspiring, luxurious are how I would describe the Tropical Transformation Wellness Retreat. I wanted to be in a space where I can focus on myself. Over the past few years I have been opening up spiritually and I figured going to a retreat like this would give me the space and time to be with my own thoughts. I was surprised that a person like myself who loves being pampered and living in hotels was brave enough to rough it a little bit.” - C.H.
“Peaceful, hopeful, reenergized, powerful are how I would describe this retreat. I needed a mental and physical check out which would allow me to take time for me and reconnect with myself. I have been feeling amazing since the experience.” - R.S.
