OCTOBER WELLNESS WEEKEND
Move, Breathe, Become
with Catherine Njeri
This wellness weekend:
Reconnect with who you are and who you’re becoming.
Join us this October for a 4-day wellness weekend at the breathtaking Watamu Treehouse. This weekend is designed for those seeking the balance between intensity and ease: Expect dynamic power yoga sessions at sunrise, grounding breathwork, and deeply restorative evening practices, all held in the calming rhythm of the ocean.
This immersive weekend invites you to move with intention, soften into stillness, and reconnect with yourself in one of Kenya’s most magical coastal spaces. Expect strong flows, mindful alignment, open-hearted connection, and space to simply be.

These long weekends only happen on selected dates throughout the year, and include 3 nights on half board, 4 yoga sessions, 2 deeply relaxing massages, a guided nature-based adventure, walks, time to rest, reflect, and connect with community.
