Build New Connections, ReNew Connections
November 6-12th 2022!
St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands
Are you ready for us to meet you where you are and help you with your wellness and health?
Have you been looking for a retreat and vacation experience, either on your own, with a friend or with your partner? Would you like to just sit back and relax, while all the activities are arranged and available for you to partake in? This is YOUR time.
Are you tired of your day to day routine and seeking a new direction?
Have you been waiting for an opportunity to travel, but want more.. an adventure, to get to know the culture of where you visit and to have an opportunity to give back?
If you answered YES to any of the above questions, come join us on the SoulSister Connection Retreat to St Thomas, Virgin Islands!
Come with a life partner, a friend or on your OWN! Unique to this retreat, I designed this experience alongside my partner Renaldo who was born and raised on St Thomas and his sister Janet, who still lives there! Many of you told me that your significant other would want to come along, or you wanted to travel with a friend, so I have opened up the retreat to men and women! We will be enjoying activities and places for everyone, and you can pick and choose what you do! If you love yoga, join in… if you just wanna chill and hang out… that’s an option… if you want a workout with Renaldo… go for it!
This is a boutique style, based in a beautiful villa by the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean. Renaldo and I take care of everything, accommodations, transfers, activities… you just take care of your flights, travel insurance and get yourself to the island! From the moment you arrive, you will be enveloped in the island hospitality and culture of the VI’s.
A stress-free island experience. Treat your body, mind, and soul with a dash of awesome fun thrown in.
You will get to relax with 7 days and 6 nights in a seaside villa accommodation, experience the cultural and musical vibe of the Virgin Islands, treat yourself to yoga, fitness, massage and assisted stretch sessions, relax by the pool, enjoy the beach, swim with the turtles, kayak and snorkel on the beautiful island of St John, enjoy a day sail, dance to Calypso music by the sea at Paradise Point… and more.. all while building friendships and digging deeper into what you want to return home with.. a new sense of renewal and purpose. A transformation.
Each day includes a yoga practice tailored for relaxation and renewal, fitness activities and talks by our hosts (myself and native Islander and Personal Trainer Renaldo Turnbull).
Our hope is that you will leave this retreat experience feeling reconnected which means balanced, calm, and renewed with a sense of direction and inspiration to Let Go of What Doesn’t Serve You and Embrace Who You Are”. It can happen, let’s do this together.
You had me at “Caribbean!”

Our FitYogaAdventure Itinerary!
Pick Up Transfer provided. Settle in our beautiful oceanside villa, relax by the pool.. enjoy the ocean view! Welcome Dinner to mix and mingle and connect with your retreat tribe!
It’s your first full day at the villa, so it is full of NON agenda! Take a yoga class on the seaside deck, sleep in and have a leisurely breakfast, relax by the pool. This day is yours to just chill out.. plenty of activities to come the rest of the week. Optional massage therapy, assisted stretching sessions are available today and all week on site. You will have the opportunity to pre Book prior to the trip to save your spot.
Today we explore the culture and history of the Virgin Islands! Take a tour of St Thomas with a in depth look at the history and stories of the island culture. Eat lunch at authentic island eataries. Return to relax at the villa and prepare for a night of festivities.
That evening, we will enjoy a Cultural dinner provided by Janet Turnbull Krigger, a local and Renaldo’s big sister. Be sure to ask her what his childhood nickname was :-). After dinner, we will enjoy original Calypso music and learn to dance Calypso by the sea!
Get up early and swim in Brewer’s Beach Bay with the turtles, enjoy a water aerobics class with locals and yoga on the beach. We will then hit the local food truck for traditional Pattes which are mmm mm good. This day you have the opportunity to participate in a community service project if you like. We will give back to the island!
That evening, more music as we head to Paradise Point to listen and dance to a LIVE Calypso band and test out the moves you learned the night before. Be ready to shake your groove thing… or booty as they say in the islands.
Choose to embark on a day sail trip around the islands, visiting local snorkeling areas and viewing the beauty of the VI’s or relax at the villa by the pool, on the beach or reading on the deck… you decide what you want to experience.. everything is optional. Give yourself permission to NOT do all the things!
Today we take a trip to the beautiful island of St John. You can choose to take a cab to one of many beautiful beaches in their national park, or embark on yet another adventure of kayaking and snorkeling. Three-fourths of this small island treasure in the Caribbean is managed by the Virgin Islands National Park, protecting the dense hiking forests, white sand beaches and calm, crystal clear water from future development. Truly a place not to miss!
Fill your tummy up with a delicious brunch, then take your last dip in the pool or the ocean and grab your new friends contacts, and say our farewells. Transfer included. It has been wonderful to share these experiences with you!
The Cuisine
Let’s do this!
The Venue
Spirit on the Water is dedicated to the practice and rituals that remind us to be playful, to connect to one another, to dive deep into our spiritual practice, and to love, yes most of all, to love.
This retreat center grew out of a desire to create a safe place for people to do their personal work and for communities to BE together. A visiting Shaman from the Amazon in Ecuador once declared that the villa is built on a vortex, which prompted them to expand even more so to contribute to your expansion.
Spirit on the Water believes that perfect is overrated. It’s funky, bohemian style is not 5 star luxury, but authentic island, in nature comfort. The villa is integrated with the nature, and all the joys that come with that… from beautiful Dream Suite to a TreeHouse Clubhouse… you will find what fits your personality!
All packages are listed as a single package in a shared room, unless a single rate is noted.

FLIGHTS:
You must arrive in St Thomas by Sunday, November 6th. There are only a few flights into St Thomas each day, in order to get a free transfer, please try to arrive on the earlier flights. If you must come later, you may be responsible for the cost of your transfer. Be sure if you book a flight before September 7th that it is refundable. We will let you know by September 7th if the trip is a go or not, depending on bookings.
Check-out time is NOON on Saturday so plan your flight accordingly. Try to book a flight that late morning or early afternoon so you can enjoy the villa for as long as possible. We will have a Farewell Brunch to send you off with full tummies. Most flights leave at 12 or later. We will have one group transfer to the airport on Saturday, May 12th to accommodate those flights late morning and early afternoon. If you need to leave really early, we can help you with transport, although it might be at your own cost.
