Retreats — Carly Rowena

Ready to fall in love with a new version of yourself?

Make friendships, connections and discover new passions and places.

I’ve been hosting worldwide retreats since 2013, after finding I didn’t have friends that wanted to travel in the way I did.

My retreats are all for fitness levels, ability, age and gender and while there is a day to day itinerary, it’s your escape, your retreat so it’s totally up to you how much you choose to participate in.

All of my retreats involve movement but we don’t move for punishment, I want to teach you how to move best for your own individual bodies. There are no calorie restrictions, we nourish our bodies with the most delicious of meals and while it’s lovely to move and push our bodies. I also feel it’s important that you get the rest you deserve to reduce those daily stressors we all experience which is why we always have beach days, creative workshops, sound baths and meditations included.

Help me choose our next retreat destination, it could be your choice!

I’d love to hear where you’d like the next retreat to take place, so pick from the options or add your own! If you know of a retreat space or perhaps own a retreat space always email me as it’s so lovely to collaborate with recommendations.

Testimonials:

“Carly organised such an amazing trip for the group – we all had our struggles with the altitude, tiredness and personal goals but we didn’t feel pressured to keep up with the group and at every point Carly and the exodus team made sure we were able to catch-up. Such an amazing group of girls all with there own stories and struggles that we openly talked about and helped each other along with. No one was left out even at the hardest point and we were all able to have a good laugh and reflection period at the end of each day.”
“Doing the Inca trail with Carly was an unforgettable experience that I can’t even describe. The trek was so well organised with extra day in Aguascalientes and Cusco. Our guide Wilburt was so lovely, helpful and full of patience and fun. To top this up, this trek wouldn’t have been such a highlight if it wasn’t for Carly and her bags of enthusiasm, laughter and care for everyone. All of us made such a genuine human connection whilst we trekked which made this so special. I cried all the way home overwhelmed with the emotions. Thank you Carly and the team, you made a dream come true!”
“I had such a blast on your retreat and am so happy to have done it! I thought you really took care of all of us and were very thoughtful in catering to what everyone wanted. I was really grateful of being able to go out and explore while others wanted to sunbathe or relax.”
“One of the most incredible trips I have been on! Carly, Exodus and the 9 other fabulous gals made this experience of a lifetime! The Inca Trail has always been on my bucket list, so as soon as I saw this - I knew I had to book - and it exeeded my expectations by miles! This has beaten any other group trip I have been on, and Carly - what a wonderful, caring, fun and super positive person who was truly there for all of us. I highly recommend any future challenges/retreats with Carly! But leave a space for me ;)”
“I loved the idea of going onto a journey like this alone and having the possibility of getting to know new people. Sharing sweaty workouts, fun and silly evenings at the pool and a beautiful insight into the real moroccan life really brought this group of lovely ladies closer together and left us friends.”
“I absolutely loved the whole trip and am so thankful to have gone. Everyone in our group was so great, hilariously funny and with such amazing passions and stories of their own. I just hope that I’ll be able to see everyone again soon! Thank you thank you for organizing such wonderful experiences for us all!”
“I knew I needed something like this but I could not have imagined how refreshed and happy I was going to be. Loved every single moment of it. The team was incredible. Always cheerful and available to help. I recovered the energy and motivation to start exercising regularly again and I am so glad I did. I feel better, both emotionally and physically and I have made very good friends from this retreat. What can I say? I will definitely book again. I can only encourage all the women out there to take a moment for themselves because we truly deserve it 😊 “
“Carly's Portugal retreat was a really beautiful experience. Although we had so many activities to get involved in, it felt very relaxed and there was no pressure to do anything you didn't fancy. This created a safe and free space for everyone to just be themselves and have honest and authentic conversations, which was usually very inspiring!
As well as this, the accommodation and food was gorgeous! After 5 days of movement, meditation, healthy food, rest, and conversation I left the retreat inspired and feeling I understood myself that little bit more.
Huge thanks to Carly and the team for creating this experience!”

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be a certain fitness level?

Each Retreat is unique but they’re all based around getting you to fall in love with yourself and realizing your potential. Everything is adapted no matter your fitness levels, experience, ability, gender. disability or age and the meals provided are glorious, there’s no skipping calories or restricting, we eat and fall in love with new recipes.

Which retreat is best for me?

I host three types of Retreats, both are suitable for everyone but are very different In style. My ‘Retreats’ are focused around you. I am your coach, mentor and friend. We live together as a big family in a villa and I take care of all of your needs but my primary focus is to make you fall in love with yourself, move your body and have fun. My ‘Challenge Retreats’ are based around us being a team, we conquer something together such as climbing MT Kilimanjaro, the Inca Trail, I am very much on the journey with you and spend time before the Challenge giving you all the tips and tools to feel your best to complete the challenge.

My day retreats are the perfect taster session, a chance to see what happens in longer retreats condensed into one day, workshops, movement, food, fun and treats, its a great way to experience a retreat without needing to take time off.

Can I come on my own?

90% of people who attend my retreats attend solo and in most cases it’s their first ever solo trip. I also have friends and mothers and daughters, sisters. Don’t let the idea of coming alone put you off. It genuinely makes for a better experience as you’re putting yourself out there and can really discover yourself, not to mention make lifelong friends.

Retreats are one of my favorite aspects of my career and I honestly love nothing more than escaping with you and watching as you all realize your potential. I've watched so many of my guests transform their lives on Retreats and I can’t wait to see you do the same!
