What makes this Retreat unique ?

Have you ever pictured yourself submerged in mind, body, and soul in a paradisiac island to the sound of healing music? Look no further, and get ready to embark in a journey of a lifetime where you’ll find a true connection with your inner self, unite with nature, and build new friendships with other people from around the world. Get ready, as this is just the beginning!
Destination Caribbean into the beautiful Island of the Dominican Republic where your wondrous journey begins as you leave the airport and join a road trip on the scenic highway of Samaná. Let the natural scenery pass consisting of palm trees, mountain landscapes, lush vegetation, and the warm climate of the tropical island breeze.
Within three hours, you will arrive to one of the Dominican Republic’s hidden gems in the northeast of the island – The Eco- Village El Valle, situated in the Samaná peninsula. Embrace this incredible welcoming experience as you check in at your selected eco-spot. Immediately, you can explore and enjoy the amenities, indulge in authentic Dominican food, and some tropical refreshments.
At sunset, we will gather to welcome you and get to know you one on one as we will introduce the staff and the performers for our magical Sound Holistic Retreat “Music Under The Stars.” Our excitement and devotion emerge as we are ready to transcend into a lapse of time of five unforgettable days of self-transformation and connection with sound, music, and nature!
In the next 3 days, we will engage in practicing “Prana Yoga” with the Naturopath and Holistic Yoga expert Kyra Montagu.
There will be an excursion per day that you can choose as “optional” as we let you decide what to do with your free time. However, you can always stay within the amenities to relax by the poolside or spend your day at the beach.
In case you choose to go beyond the premises and take advantage of the iconic sceneries in El Valle then here are the options for you to explore at this exotic Eco-Village:
• Epic Zip Lining thru the Jungle (12 lines and 13 stations that will make you fly Tarzan-style at 40 mph and 350 ft height).
• Tour to Playa Ermitaño ( Conveniently this tour starts at El Valle Beach, the expert guides will take you on a speed boat to experience the unspoiled and pristine palm-fringed beach Ermitaño).
• Hiking to the local Catano Cascade to enjoy rustic landscape, surrounded by peaks covered in lush greenery that will take you through a path of Coffee & Cacao plantations, then ending up at the swimming cascade spot perfectly to wash off the sweat and mud from the trip!

As the days approach for the main gathering event on 11/11, a few activities are set from the talented performers! Our pre-event will be led by DJ Linda Romanazzi, who will make your body flow with her ecstatic dance. Following with the main event of acoustic guitar Music under the Stars led by Shane Carling along with the implementation of a Cacao Ceremony guided by Johanna Mejia!
On 11/12 we will have a full 90 minute of Cymatic Harmony journey being performed by Dan Byrne during sunset golden hours by the beach. This will be followed by a Mud Cleanse Detox body therapy guided by Kyra Montagu!

Bringing to conclusion this amazing journey through sound, music, and nature the amazing DJ Linda will play soundscape for your enjoyment and openness within your senses.

The last day of this holistic sound retreat will be to recharge, for packing, and having our final gathering as a group. Your mind, body, and soul will have gone through this magical journey of inner connection and transformation. Self-love and discovery will continue and bring us together once again on another occasion. As we say “goodbye” “until we meet again” at this magical environment of sustainability and preservation of nature -Eco Village at the beautiful Samaná in Dominican Republic!
