Testimonials from the past four Women’s Wellness Retreat in Israel
“Thank you for an uplifting beautiful experience on every level like I never had before in my life.”
“Thank you so much for all your hard work to make the retreat a success. I, along with all the other women, had such a special, much needed relaxing and enjoyable time. So really, thank you, thank you!! Looking forward to the next one!!!”
“You did great. I really loved it all. I came home and was truly renewed, which rarely happens. I usually the glow within the first day after the retreat is over. But this time I am still humming with happiness. I went to yoga today and I just kept thinking about how the retreat added so much to my love for yoga. Well, it goes without saying that we all want to practice in the Boutique Room again…. Having this retreat on a seaside was an inspired idea. I have been to many retreats. Not one of them, as nice they have been, compares to this three days at all. This is due to the teachers, the aromatherapy, the seaside …and the general attitude of everyone that attended.”
“You excelled yourselves this year! Your organization, both pre- and during the Retreat was so efficient and undertaken in such a good spirit and it contributed to the general wonderful atmosphere of the Retreat.”
“I just wanted to thank you so much for the wonderful retreat. Your organization skills were impeccable. The program was amazing and the people a delight to meet. Looking forward to the next one.”
“I cannot thank you enough for those three days. It really rocked my world.”
“It was awesome. I told so many women already who would love to come next time. I really think you did an amazing job… the warmth, location, women, and staff and programming were the best!”
“Thank you so so so much for everything, your incredible devotion and hard work have really transformed my life! I have so many new tools now for me to use to improve my emotional and spiritual well-being. Thank you!”
“This retreat was one of the most incredible, transformative, energizing, relaxing, invigorating, spiritually nourishing experiences I have ever had. It was everything I could have ever wanted and more from a 3 day retreat. I thought the atmosphere was so positive and supportive and non-judgmental and I loved and savored every single second. Kol hakavod and thank you so so so much!”
“The staff was amazing and very personal. They made me feel very welcomed and I was very warmed by it. The atmosphere was accepting and welcoming and an amazing crowd of women. I want to comment that I could really feel how much thought and care went into the program. To really bring us the best of the best. I went to other programs that were much more expensive and in a much more luxurious location and the program wasn’t half as good as this one.”
FAQ’s – Regarding COVID / corona precautions & discounts
All guests must either provide (upon registration) an up-to-date Tav Yarok or arrive at the hotel for the start of the retreat with a negative PCR test taken 72 hrs. before the start of the retreat. (The test must be taken no earlier than Thursday afternoon Feb 24th from 13:00).
All guests are required to wear masks in the restaurant while taking food from the buffets, and can remove the masks only when seated for eating. If a guest needs to take more food from the buffet during the meal, masks must be put on again.
Yes. In order to ensure that everyone will be safe without a mask while doing yoga, dancing, sitting in classes and workshops in enclosed spaces together, we are requiring each participant to take an antigen/rapid home test the morning the retreat begins, and bring the negative result with you as proof that you are arriving healthy at the retreat.
The antigen/rapid home test can be purchased for 30-35 nis at the kupot cholim.

You will get a full refund, less a 100 nis processing fee. (If the 100 fee is a major issue for you, please email Devora directly to discuss).
As we all know, we are currently in the shmitta year and the prices of produce are significantly higher. We arranged with the hotel to use only Eida Charedit produce for our retreat, so that everyone can join, regardless of their preference of shmitta produce.
While the hotel raised the prices since last retreat, we made a special arrangement with the hotel manager which has allowed us to keep the prices of the standard rooms the same as our last retreat in 2020.
Thank you for understanding that there are no additional discounts available.
- One suggestion that has worked well for many past participants: ask family members and/or friends to give you the gift of the retreat as a birthday, anniversary, or holiday (pre-Pesach) gift.
- Another idea that was done in the past: a retreat staff or friend in your neighborhood posts on the email/WhatsApp group in your community asking women to donate small sums towards giving a woman in great need of a break the opportunity of coming on the wellness retreat.
