About this event
- 6 days 5 hours
Led by experienced facilitators, internationally certified instructors and a variety of guest presenters, this one-week retreat is exclusively designed and carefully curated for women; covering a wide range of topics, including mindfulness, self-care, body positivity, goal setting, and building supportive relationships.
Through introspective exercises, group activities, and guided reflections, you’ll gain valuable insights into your own unique strengths and abilities, empowering you to embrace your authenticity and live life with purpose and passion.
SEA Girls provides a safe space for those seeking to rejuvenate their spirits, ignite their inner strength, forge lasting connections with like-minded souls and immerse themselves in the beauty and healing elements of nature.
This retreat will be based at the world famous Jamnesia Surf Camp in 8 Mile Bull Bay: home of the Wilmot Family and of Jamaican surfing and skating culture. You will be immersed in an authentically Jamaican lifestyle that can only be described as Irie.
Whether you’re practicing yoga on the beach at sunrise, sharing stories of triumph and resilience around a crackling bonfire, or diving into the healing power of the ocean, you will be surrounded by a tribe of supportive and inspiring women as you laugh, learn, and grow together.
At SEA Girls you never fully know which way the tide will take us, but you can expect to experience :
- Daily breath work or yoga or dance and movement meditation
- River/waterfall trip
- Visits to historic sites
- Bonfires
- Live Music Session

Join us for an unforgettable week of empowerment, exploration, and sisterhood at Sea Girls—a journey of self-discovery that begins where the ocean meets the shore.
Let's create memories and friendships that will last a lifetime. Don't miss out on this unforgettable experience!

Jamaica is ideal for beginner to advanced surfers. With mostly reef and point breaks you can progress quickly. The year-round warm waters of 80-85°F or 26-29°C means we never wear wetsuits. However, tropical booties or aqua shoes are recommended for spots with cobblestone bottom.
The local currency is Jamaican Dollars (JMD). $1USD is about $154JMD. You can get JMD at the ATM/ABM or we can arrange a trip to the money exchange to change major currencies. We are currently transitioning from paper notes to polymer notes, so it is normal to see both types of notes in circulation.
