Top 11 Sober Retreats to Reset Your System in 2024

September 19, 2023

Who else is a huge fan of retreats???   I love attending them, planning them and recommending them to my clients.  If you can find a way to get yourself completely out of your grind, ideally offline and forced to slow down and just be for a few days – the impact is huge!! 

Top Sober Retreat #1 – Wander Home

In January I went to a yoga retreat hosted by Wander Home – and it was so therapeutic. Especially as a mom to give myself that time to fill up my own cup.  I had the owner of the retreat company Jackie Szabo on my podcast last month, where we discussed in depth The Power of Retreats to Rediscover Yourself, Connect with Your Purpose, Feel in Community and Hit the Pause Button to Completely Reset Your System.  Jackie brought up some really great points and had a lot of great stories to tell.  I loved her concept of the capacity calendar – asking yourself not if you are available but do you have the capacity while staying aligned with your wellness.

Top Sober Retreat #2: SOBERTOPIA BEACH RETREATS

Super fun, super local if you are US based, grab your girlfriends and go: SOBERTOPIA BEACH RETREATS in Malaga, Spain. What are my retreats all about? Think: Trips full of sun, yoga, hikes, amazing food, fun activities, relaxation & connection… without the booze! My sober retreats are aimed at sober (curious) women like you and me that like (or need!) a break from day-to-day life, while wanting the possibility to connect with each other. Since sobriety, either by (lifestyle) choice or necessity, is still frowned upon in today’s society, it can feel a bit lonely sometimes to be sober. You might often be the ´odd one´ out on social occasions (as we all know most social activities are drenched in booze, from weddings & Xmas´s to dinner parties & even kids birthday parties…). On my retreats you are the normie!

Top Sober Retreat #3 – Bee Wild South Weekend May 2024

 Low-key unpretentious annual gathering if you are in the UK: Come and join in the fun with an action-packed, alcohol-free weekend with the Bee Sober team.  Meet up with like-minded individuals and express your inner creativity.  Our Bee Wild events are held annually and in 2024 our Southern event will be held on 17-19 May 2024 at Team Dynamics in Tunbridge Wells, UK.  We’ve got you covered with a bit of TLC and outdoor fun. The weekend will kick off early Friday evening, finishing lunchtime Sunday at Team Dynamics in Tunbridge Wells.

Top Sober Retreat #4 – Vikarah Wellness

Yelapa is a hidden gem in Mexico, the perfect place to feel like you are in a different world, but only a hop, skip and a jump from any city on the West Coast.  Plus, it sounds like it supports you in doing some inner work which will add to your transformation.

RECOVERY WELLNESS RETREAT: YELAPA, MEXICO

MEN, WOMEN & NON-BINARY,

A SOBER RETREAT FOR PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION

You are here, and for a reason.  That you have some kind of interest in learning and living a more centered lifestyle through holistic wellness, (a type of modality that empowers you to be your own healer).

“What does that even mean, to be more centered?  Self-centered?  No, not exactly, but parts of that could be of great benefit.  To be centered onto oneself and their well-being, is a deep & devoted love of your presence, letting yourself “take up space”, knowing that you have every right to be here, stepping into your power to be that bold and beautiful you.”
