What made this retreat with me so special for you?

This retreat with Jan was special since it made me realize that finding balance within is hard. For me meditation is hard since I cannot rest my mind but hearing the noises and feeling the sand as well as the wind connecting me with the space. I would open my eyes and observe my group concentrated and so in peace with themselves that made me think how important it is to find balance as a person and be able to relax and connect in the moment.

Thinking back to your trip, what’s one moment or part of your Galápagos experience that you loved the most?”

This is such a hard question to because so much of it surpassed my wildest expectations !

My first morning seeing an impossibly clear orange sunrise through the grey dawn whilst practicing yoga surrounded by hawks, mocking birds and playful sea lions felt magical.

Snorkelling in the clear azure waters full of angel fish, parrot fish, sharks and starfish was incredible.

Swimming with sea lions and giant turtles sublime..

Hiking on red carpets of cactus with otherworldly prickly pear trees, watching my step because of the abundance of lava lizards, marine iguanas and sea lions right on the path was giddying .

Practicing yoga on a cliff top replete with blue footed boobys, magnificent frigate birds and gulls was amazing and then whales splashing in the deepest blue – beyond words.

Dawn breaking seated at the very front of the magnificent Nemo II, nothing but the deep ocean beneath my feet as the magnificent Daphne Mayor island beaconed ahead of me made me feel small in the grand glory of the world.

My favourite moment however was stand up paddle boarding over the clear turquoise waters and seeing penguins swimming and calling . Utterly wonderful !
