Rejuvenate & Relax
Yoga & Meditation Retreat
Morne Acouma Soufrière, Dominica
with Shawna Emerick & Amy Soucy
April 4-10, 2026
Take refuge, spend a week in wonder, and
immerse in the healing power of nature.
Rest and restore your mind, body and spirit in the breathtaking beauty of Dominica!
Recently named “The Caribbean Island to visit in 2026” by National Geographic!
Dubbed the Caribbean’s “Nature Island,” Dominica is a pristine paradise of lush rainforest,
waterfalls, geothermal hot springs, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and stunning beaches.
Melt every ounce of tension and stress with daily morning meditations,
invigorating yoga, flowing qigong, and relaxing somatic movement.
Connect, reflect and rekindle your spark in sacred circle time,
dream-journaling and healing sound baths.
There will also be plenty of space to just be – and to bask in stillness,
laughter, and the warmth of our amazing retreat family.
Let yourself be nourished, supported, and inspired.
Reawaken to your true nature… and remember that you are nature.
Picture This…
Floating in the warm, sparkling sea, hiking the longest trail in the Caribbean, napping under the palms, and allowing the deep rhythm of nature to restore your vital energy and renew your creativity.
Each room is a sanctuary designed to bring you closer to nature, with hand-crafted bamboo furniture, refreshing showers, and views that stretch to the sea or the forest canopy.
You'll have access to a world-class spa with a variety of massages and treatments, an infinity pool with views of the ocean and epic sunsets, a hidden garden pool, a hot tub, and delicious meals made with organic, fresh local ingredients along…plus an edible landscape of course!
We highly encourage you to relax, have fun, and do what pleases YOU!

World Famous Champagne Snorkel ~ Champagne reef is part of the protected Soufriere Scotts Head Marine Reserve. Underground volcanic activity seeps through the ocean floor, then is cooled by sea waves and rises in a line of bubbles creating a memorable snorkelling experience. Fan coral, turtles and a variety of tropical fish are often sighted
Roseau Market & Trafalgar Falls – Experience one of the last remaining traditional markets in all of the Caribbean with its vibrant array of local fruits, vegetables and more. Explore the Botanical Gardens and enjoy panoramic views of the capital and surrounding coastline at Morne Bruce. Continue to the famous twin waterfalls Trafalgar in Trois Piton National Park.
Fresh Water Lake & Titou Gorge both sites are located in the Morne Trois Pitons National Park (UNESCO World Heritage Site). The Fresh Water Lake is one of two lakes formed by volcanic craters. Enjoy the views of volcanic peaks all around and the often-misty setting. After the hike, take a short drive to Laudat and a 5-minute walk to Titou Gorge. A short swim through a series of natural “rooms and ponds” formed by high cliff walls canopied by interlaced trees leading to a hidden waterfall. Part of the second “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie was filmed here, when captain Jack and his crew were trying to escape from the tribe and fell into this gorge.

LOVE FROM PAST RETREATERS
-
The two of you together create magic! You are both so genuinely nurturing and kind. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for offering this and for your energy and love given throughout. I’m so thankful that the universe and my intuition led me to find you."

I've been a "yogi" for more than 20 years and attended a ton of retreats. I've also facilitated different groups and experiences over the years. I can confidently and objectively say that Amy and Shawna create such a beautiful, authentic container for people to retreat and be themselves, have their own deep experience... and also connect with others.

I found the retreat to be a perfect blend of time spent with incredibly kind, present, open-hearted people, and time in quiet reflection. Through diverse yoga classes and movement practices, natural surroundings that inspired, and new friends, this was truly a beautiful experience for a first-time retreater! Shawna and Amy are the best facilitators I could ever imagine!
