The Sun Sister Retreat
Come home to your heart, your light and your sisters, for five nights of sound, play and celebration in the Spanish sun.
16th – 21st August 2027
Suryalila Retreat Centre, Andalusia, Spain
Retreat
The Sun Sisters
SECURE YOUR SPACE
There comes a moment on every sound healer's path...
…when your heart starts whispering two things to you. "My love, it's time for you to receive. And, it's time for you to celebrate yourself and how far you've come!"
You are so experienced at holding space for others by now. You give so freely from your big, beautiful heart. And really, you wouldn't have it any other way...
But you're not always the best at taking time for yourself. And deep down, you've been longing for it.
So here is our sacred invitation. We (and our crystal bowls!) invite you to receive the sonic medicine you have been delivering for so long, and to celebrate the radiant woman who offers it. It's your time now, sweet sister!
Welcome to The Sun Sisters Retreat
Five nights in the rolling hills of Andalusia, at the very special Suryalila - a place whose name means "the play of the sun".
Join a circle of women who know what it is to be guardians of the bowls, to hold healing space and to light the way for the rest of the world.
For this week, permission to lay it all down. No being the teacher. No organising. No being 'on'.
Just you, your sisters, the sun, the stars, and a returning to your true essence; joy!
Come and remember what it feels like to simply be, and to shine as you are.
a taste of Andalusian magic
What to expect
A week devoted to sound, sisterhood, nourishment, celebration and joy!
A space to honour how far you've already come on your journey, while reconnecting with the woman beneath the healer.
There is no qualification to achieve. No pressure to perform, or to become a better sound healer.
Just an invitation to come as you are. Let yourself be held.
Imagine this...
Slow mornings beneath the Spanish sun.
Long, nourishing vegetarian feasts shared around the table.
Bare feet. Blue skies. Swimming in the turquoise, saltwater pool.
Afternoons with nowhere you need to be.
Beautiful sound ceremonies in the dedicated Om Dome space led by Holly & Carly - just lie down and receive!
Time for a treatment, a nap, a book, a journal, a yummy snack... or absolutely nothing at all.
A day trip to explore the beauty of Andalusia.
Evenings spent connecting, sharing, belly-laughing beside the devastatingly beautiful sunsets and soaking up the magic of being surrounded by your fellow sound sisters.
Days to rest, play, receive and celebrate life, to deeply nourish your body, heart and soul, and remember that your life isn't only here to be productive.
It's here to be lived... In peace, in presence, and in joy.
Holly and Carly, our hosts, were like two guardian Angels. They created the perfect balance of sound, learning, silence , singing, energy healing, sharing, integration and pure joy. They are pure magic. If this retreat were an Uber, it would definitely earn a five-star rating.

I was surrounded by powerful women who made me feel so secure that I could be vulnerable. These women are not only my “sound sisters” but also my “soul sisters.”

Since returning home, I’ve felt a shift. I’m moving at a slower pace and embracing stillness.When I play the bowls, my husband commented, “the sound is different, it's more like you.” So maybe I’m not performing any more and just playing from me.

The whole week was transformational for me - in essence, it reminded me that I'm definitely on the right path, but also it healed a deep part of my sense of self-worth. As a result, I've come home more grounded, centred and focused with a beautiful belief in and love of myself that I've not felt for years, which I'm sure translates into my sessions, elevating them even more.

I can't recommend Holly and Carly's retreat for sound healers enough. I haven't laughed or cried as much, or felt as accepted and as loved for being me, for such a long time.

We were so beautifully nurtured and guided by Holly and Carly throughout their perfectly balanced schedule, it was one of the most magical, memorable and transformative weeks of my life - I'd do it all again in a heartbeat.

This retreat is for you if
You’ve already completed a sound healer training and want to honour and celebrate how far you’ve come.
You spend so much time holding space for others and feel ready to let someone hold space for you.
You’re craving rest, spaciousness and a break from the constant doing. You want to reconnect with your spirit, playfulness and joy.
You desire meaningful connection with women who understand the path you’re walking.
You want to spend a week immersed in sound without the pressure of having to learn, perform or achieve.
You’re ready to nourish yourself on every level and return home feeling rested, replenished and reconnected to your light.
The rhythm of our days
Our days will be beautiful, soul-nourishing and the opposite of rushed!
This isn’t the kind of retreat where you’ll be darting from one workshop to the next with a timetable in your hand.
Some mornings may begin slowly with sunrise meditation, sound, gentle movement or an inward practice before breakfast.
Across the week, we’ll gather for a magical mixture of sound ceremonies, sisterhood circles, song and shared practices, with plenty of spaciousness in between.
There’ll be time to swim, sunbathe, read, receive a treatment, wander the land, chat with your sound sisters, have a siesta or simply find a hammock and swing into bliss.
We’ll also leave Suryalila together for a gorgeous day trip, giving us the opportunity to explore a little more of Andalusia.
Some evenings we'll gather together; others will be intentionally spacious.
Rest is part of the retreat, not something we squeeze in around it.
A fuller schedule will be shared before we arrive. The exact rhythm may gently shift depending on the weather, the group and what feels right for us during our week together.
